Today I took my youngest into the studio with a very clear vision in my head of what I wanted to achieve. I wasn’t expecting this session to go aswell as it did, if you have read some of my earlier posts you would have heard me mention ‘Photographers Child Syndrome’. Well I was pleasantly surprised when my very well behaved little model did exactly as he was asked and even posed himself a few times.
Anyway, get on with it I hear you say…. The purpose of this session was the hat, this hat is a special hat as it belonged to my Grandad Henry. When Ollie was born we chose his first name to work with his middle name, Henry. I wanted the images to be simple, neutral and have a vintage touch to them. So the studio was set with my new chair ( I love my new chair 🙂 ) and a dressed up Ollie and we had fun while capturing just the images that I had been hoping for.
I always ask clients if they would like to bring anything along to their sessions and this is the reason why. These images mean so much more to me than just beautiful images of my gorgeous (yes I am biased lol) little boy. They are a memory of a loved one that is no longer with us, a way of bringing them into the present day and a talking point for the future. I look forward to the day when I sit down with Ollie and explain the importance of that hat while looking at these photos and who knows maybe one day capturing images of my grandchild wearing this special hat.
