Six Teens and a Spaniel ~ Birthday Party Photography in Hertfordshire

I got to shoot a 13th Birthday party earlier this year (which I have finally got around to blogging). I was a little daunted at first by the thought of 6 teenagers but they were an absolute pleasure and great fun to photograph, especially when lovely Millie the spaniel joined in.

There was also time for some portraits of the birthday girl. When I shoot portraits I like to use natural light where possible as there's really nothing as beautiful as soft window light. Katie was a natural in front of the camera (and Millie too).......here's some of my favourites.

Miss Polly had a Dolly (Nursery Photography)

Ok, I'll admit it....I'm quite a haphazard blogger. There always seems to be so many things to do and this year seems to have flown by! Anyway, at last a new blog post.

The challenge of working with children is their absolute unpredictability so it's always lots of fun to photograph a nursery. Instead of spending a few hours with the children, I get about 5 or 10 minutes each, so they don't really have a lot of time to get used to me. I have to make it as quick and as fun as possible but luckily some of the lovely staff there were very happy to help. Several teddy bears helped me out by taking pictures too and there was a lot of singing! Miss Polly had a Dolly was definitely the most popular.

Here are a few favourites...
