Today I did a photoshoot with The Tavakoli Family Clan. Since my brother in law’s mother, Dianne was leaving for Australia on Monday, she wanted to have a portrait photo session with the entire family because they’ve never done anything like that before. The group itself was fairly large in that there was 10 people including the kids so we opted for an outdoor shoot in the George Wainborn Park located next to Granville Bridge. There’s a nice large water feature at the top of the park and it proved to be a nice location since there was a mixture of colourful flowers and an urban feel with all the concrete structures around the water features.
One challenge with this shoot was that the 4 kids were all under the age of 4 and had the attention span of an elephant. In order to made sure they were looking at the camera I had their parents stand behind me and call them to get their attention. Problem with that is each child looked at their own parent and so in some of the photos all four kids were looking at different directions! Having said that I managed to snap a few good ones and the final results are below.
I must say, it was fun shooting Keanna and Mya because they’re so cute… having said that I had to be quick because unlike adults they move so much and won’t hold a pose so if I wasn’t ready, I’d miss the shot!
All in all it was quite a casual shoot which was great because everyone was laid back and there’s less pressure to produce “good shots†in comparison to doing a wedding or fashion shoot. Check out the pics in the gallery!
