As a mum to two beautiful boys, I get so much enjoyment out of photographing ‘boy only’ families. I guess it’s because I know what my two are like – and I love to capture them being just that – BOYS.
I met with this amazing family at the river. Tom, James, Will and Sam (and their parents Danielle & Luke) were so much fun to be around. Except for a few moments where we tried to cram all the boys together, the session was completely unscripted and natural. Just the way I like it! I don’t think mum & dad planned on jumping in the photos, but I did get them to hop in a few anyway.
These guys had the most fabulous rapport. Big brother Tom has the most amazing eyes I think i’ve ever seen and is a legend with his little brothers. Second eldest James is a cheeky monkey with big muscles, next comes Will who has a permanent cute smile on his face (and is possibly as cheeky as his older brother), and little man Sam is a gorgeous little guy on a mission (who just so happens to speak better than most 4 year olds, despite the fact he is only 2). Did I mention how damn cute these guys are? Seriously, good looking little men. The cutest thing was when the little lads starting stripping off their shirts. Then… three kids down – one to go! After some gentle persuasion, eldest brother Tom joined the ranks and we managed to get some shots of the boys altogether and shirtless. They are beautiful.
Forgive me for posting so many – it was just hard to select a few. I love these images for their rawness, their realness and their boyishness. Luke & Danielle, I hope you guys like them as much as I do. These are the sort of images I capture of my boys, and they are the ones I hold closest to my heart. Enjoy your sneak peek and I will be in touch with your full gallery very soon..
