Three Generations - when a family gets together

31 August 2009

The Parton Family

One of the best parts of my job is meeting people. I often get asked to photograph family get together to commemorate a significant birthday or anniversary, or even just to mark the arrival of a new member to a family. On this occasion I had been asked by my friend David to photograph his newest Grandchildren, Ruby and Archie, who after a sticky start were doing really well and developing into two wonderful little babies.

We started with some classic photographs of the two babies on white towels in their Grandparents bedroom. The bedroom had huge North-facing windows that drenched the whole room in soft afternoon light. A simple reflector to push a little light into the shadow side was all that was needed to light the babies - no flash needed at all today.

As we left the room I noticed David cradling his Grandson just in the doorway to the bedroom. The light from the corridor was creating a lovely soft hairlight, so I asked David to stand in the doorway for a moment and hold the pose. Two frames later I had this photograph.

 
 Later we moved into a shadey area in the back garden. The sun was very strong but there was just enough shade to photograph  the three generations of the family together, including Toby who is the twins older brother.

Toby is a lively and happy boy who`s smile lit up whenever his Grandfather spoke to him. He behaved impecably while I was photographing the babies, so I thought I should spend a little time alone with him, so he didn`t start to feel left out. A few photographs of him climbing an apple tree, followed by a simple portrait of him sat on an old bench made for a great collection of simple images of a boy making his a start in life.
