I first met Natalie at my gym (best gym EVER!) and as we got to chatting we discovered we had a few things in common. We both live in the same estate - literally streets away, our kids go to the same school and we are both photographers. So with Nat being a photographer herself, the pressure was on! It can easily become tricky when you work with someone who is in the same industry and you have to deliver something that they 1. might pull apart and fully criticise or 2. adore and have full gratitude for. This is why I like to have some form of communication with clients before booking in - it puts us both at ease as you get to see first hand how awesome I am and neither of us has to stress ;)
The session couldn’t have been more perfect. Everyone was so chilled and engaged that it was laughter and smiles a-plenty <3
Nat is not ‘just’ a photographer, she’s a Supermamma - a teacher and blogger too! In her blog, she shares her stories that are full of heartfelt and raw emotions, having come out of a divorce as well as moving on, into a new ‘blended’ family that is better than ever. It’s so worth a read. This one in particular really hit me, knowing how I have been judgemental myself in the past and the affect that this can actually have on people on the receiving end. Seriously, go have a read!
It was so touching to see Natalie with her family, simply enjoying being in each others’ company. This is why I do what I do. I get to be witness to such stellar families as this one <3
