This family sure kept me on my toes. Another shoot in and around Basel, we started at the Munster and enjoyed playing in the glassless arched windows in the courtyard at the back. With three little kiddies I had my hands full and they were all full of bags of energy. I love that mum just seems to be giggling in all the pictures I took.
Getting everyone to sit in one place and place some sort of attention my way was a challenge, but hey, that’s why they booked me, right!? Had I known that my secret weapon was my little credit card polaroid camera, I would have used it earlier.. Once the older two saw how that worked (in particular, the older boy) he was happy to do anything I asked and was quietly working out how many weeks of pocket money it would take to get himself one! Too cute.
Another happy family. Super tanned from their sunny summer holiday together too – perfect!
Such a cheeky little monkey:
Loving the polaroid!
Because the places you live have memories. To have records of you all together in your favourite places. Or, just because..
Last Saturday, I went on a little tour of Basel with this gorgeous family. Last time I saw them, I was raving away with a glow stick in hand in the Elizabethen Church, realising a dream of the birthday boy (daddy!). The boys were just so good and did a really good job walking all over town on a Saturday to get some lovely family shots.
We started at the Munster:
Enjoying the views:
Hijacking the Orange cinema seats:
Walking together down the beautiful streets:
We also played at the Rathaus and then finally ended up at my favourite spot in Basel. Just love these streets and the views of the rooftops up above Bafusserplatz:
This shoot had been in the planning for a long while and it was worth the wait. I’m always on the look out when I rock up to a client’s house to see if there are any good location spots close by. This family already had their fingers on the pulse and had the same idea I had – beautiful fields and a gorgeous wooden bridge – perfect location shooting material.
This little boy took a little while to warm up, but once I got him, he was just adorable in front of the camera – perhaps something to do with the mini dinosaur that he believed was inside my camera! Mini dinosaur was eating flowers apparently and liked to push me over! I love working with kids.
As for the little girl, at one point we put her in the long grass with some gorgeous buttercups that complimented her pretty blue dress perfectly and there was nothing that would make her look up, she was just happy playing with the grass – so content.
Here’s the little boy looking into my lens for the dinosaur:
Happy on her feet:

Playing in the field:
Those big blue eyes:
And big brother just being adorable:
