What I've learned from being involved in a family shoot, with a family and photographer that have history together, is the value of patience. For my new mothers out there wanting newborn photos, feel free to take breaks to soothe or feed your little one. For parents of young children, it's okay if we take breaks to play. As videographers and photographers, we're there to capture moments, and we'll take the time needed to let everyone settle in to having us around. What's most important is that your family (and you!) feel most at home and comfortable.
For something new, I was able to travel along with photographer January Newbanks as she took photos of Baby Marlow and her family. Mom and Dad, Brit and Brandon, have four great kids now and so this short film focuses not only on the newest addition, but also shows the value of siblings. Reese, Emerson, and Foster are all so different from each other and it's only a short matter of time before Marlow's own little personality begins to shine as well.
Leigh, your videos are always from the heart! This is amazing! :)
