CATHERINE’S COMMENT

The first family we

shot was the Van

Bommels, and five-year-old

Max, and his younger

two-year-old brother, Jack,

wanted to run around. I don’t like to force

things, instead I believe you get better

pictures if you go with the flow, rather than

telling the kids what to do. Here, Max laid

on the floor and we turned it into a photo

opportunity. Louis and I got low to the

ground so we were eye-level with Max,

and his parents even managed to tease

a cheeky smile out of him.

LOUIS’S COMMENT

At the start of the

day I was quite

happy watching Catherine go

about how she would do the

shoot as if it was a paid job – it

was interesting to learn from her laid-back

shooting style that made everyone in the family

feel at ease. At this point,Jack was still running

around while we were trying to photograph Max

in the picture above. But Catherine saw an

opportunity to take this shot of Jack as he had

a big grin on his face. It’s a lovely moment and

just goes to show that sometimes you have to

think fast to get the shot!
