I love offering Lambeth Reserve Family Portraits at Panania as it is one of my local parks and it is certainly a favourite!
Simone’s photos were about truly representing the natural personalities of her two beautiful girls. This was specifically Simone’s request and I always try to find out if there is a goal for the photos. During the two hours at the girls had so much fun on the play equipment and on the walkway overlooking the water. I was so impressed that the girls were still happy to smile for me after that amount of time. We focused on playing photos and didn’t insist on them looking at the camera all the time. I really recommend this approach as you will receive more happy memories of authentic moments. In saying that, it was great that Simone brought along props including her very amazing cupcakes ;).
The photos were a surprise for Sophia and Leila’s dad, Simone’s husband. I was told that when she hung the canvases on the wall the reaction was fantastic – “Best present ever! He even had tears in his eyes and he never tears up! Thanks Gem xx”
