~ 4 Seasons : Summer sessions #1 ~

So, it looks like summer is finally properly here! Lots of swimming in the Rhine (not that I have actually done that yet), the Chill am Ry bar is set up and the open air Orange cinema is up. To be honest, for me, it’s been a bit too hot at times and pretty sweltering in my office. However, the outdoor pools are great to cool down in and it’s been fun enjoying a bit of an extended summer holiday with my girl!

I still have some sessions to do, but here is a bit of a sneak peek at my sessions so far:

~ 4 Seasons: Spring Sessions ~

We were soooo lucky with the weather for our Spring sessions. It was glorious!!! On top of all these spring sessions, I also had two other full family sessions, so it was a bit epic for me, with a total of 26 kids in total (plus 1 from the weekend before), add on a couple of bumps and then all the parents and pets. Lots and lots of fun though. See if you can spot some familiar faces..

Beware – Image overload!

~ Last of the Winter Sessions ~

There were a couple of families that couldn’t make the Winter sessions when I scheduled them, so after the snow cleared from Basel, we were working hard to fit in around my busy schedule how and where we would have them.  In the end, both families happened to be planning a trip to the mountains, overlapping on a Saturday the weekend I had Maia.  So off Maia and I went, with camera in hand to get the last few sets of pictures.  The family with three boys were really very kind and invited Maia and I to stay the evening before our shoots in a spare room they had at their chalet.  It was perfect and although some of these piccies here aren’t all in the snow, we know that they were in the mountains.  This is the view in the morning from their balcony:

 

And the very ‘lifesyle’ image from the top of the stairs – what a lovely little place to stay:

The three boys and their gorgeous blue eyes:

This was one of the first ones I got, when I joined the kids watching cartoons first thing in the morning:

We did manage to get everyone in the same picture together too!

There were a few more outside and then as we waved goodbye to everyone on the train heading down the mountain, up came the next family! Here is another scenic image of the slope that this mummy learnt to ski on with her brother, back in the day when they were kids:

What a bright and colourful family:

This little one, super confident and smiley heading down the training slope on her skis:

Snow angels!

Finally, thanks to my super cool assistant who was paid in the form of a new pair of sunglasses for being so excellent letting mummy work on her weekend off. Love you baby <3

~ 4 Seasons shoots – Winter #2 ~

A week after my first set of Winter shoots, I had my second set. Apologies for only just getting round to putting this blog up. Expect your full set of images a LOT sooner!!

So, a special announcement first. I have a little helper, well, one and a bit little helpers right now (she is currently expecting her third baby). The amazing and beautiful Naomi has already started and will continue to help me with my business this year. I am very excited to have such a talented person to help me with the back end of all things Claire Pearson Photography. So far, she has already helped me create and complete spreadsheets that I have been meaning to do for a long while, been an ear to bend on new ideas I have and has made research trips more fun, by accompanying me. There will be some more exciting design tasks in store for her too. Thank you very much for joining me on my crazy adventure running my own business, Naomi. We just need to find you an offical title now! Here she is..

at their son!

Two cute kids, I look forward to meeting and taking photos of the one baking in the oven:

Here is a little sneak preview of the other shoots I had that day, you can see from these first two images how cold it was!!
