I had Freya (9) and Ruben (3) in the studio at the weekend for their first official photoshoot. I last photographed Freya 3 years ago when she was performing her duties of being a flower girl, Ruben attended the wedding also but was still in his mummies tummy at the time 🙂
Both children were super excited and probably a bit nervous when they arrived; however Freya showed no signs of nerves and was very comfortable having her picture taken; however Ruben was a completely different story. Ruben seemed very interested in how the camera worked and was desperate to have a shot a go with the camera, perhaps he will be a famous future photographer.
I persisted with Ruben and in the end got some great pictures of him by himself and also with his big sister. When the family saw the pictures they could not believe how many pictures I got of Ruben because as far as they were concerned Ruben had a “meltdown” and didn’t get any pictures on the day.
