Given today being a Leap Day, i decided to Name this post "Leap of Faith" not only is it fitting but this story is truly a leap of faith.This photo shoot is of Arwen my true first client. I had been shooting a lot of my friends kids testing out styles and locations, scenarios, what kids tolerated for how long, how could i coax them into uncontrived poses and still create a story out of it all, instead of a series of images that were good to look at. I wanted to approach it with the same principle as shooting a fashion shoot for an editorial spread only challenge now was that i was working with children and not these tall professional models. it was things to adjust too and nothing too hard to overcome.So with ideas in place, wardrobe pick out, location selected (my backyard) my best stylist and hair and make-up artist in tow we set out on our editorial shoot. and voila! My first Editorial portraiture as i like to call it.
Arwen was an absolute treat. That girl is going to be a heart breaker when she's older!
