In the last few months, I have achieved Bronze awards from the Guild of Photographers for these 5 images below.
I am so proud that my images are recognised by a national photographic body, Bronze awards are only awarded to images of a strong standard in this national competition.
Family photographs are one of my favourite parts of the newborn sessions, the intereaction and reaction of the parents with their newborn is just so genuine and real. I am so intrigued by the background of the families who I meet in the studio. The story behind the images are just as important as the finished product to me and obviously comes through in the images without me even saying a word.
The image of 1 year old Lucy (below) was taken at the Royston Baby Show mini studio back in Febuary. She was at the age where she did not want to be still for even a moment. There was alot going on in the building, and for an inquisitive 1 year old, that was all far more exciting to her. I literally had a couple of seconds to capture her attention before she attempted to climb out of the crate. Afterwards, I was stunned with the direct eye contact I had managed to capture and with this solem face, I felt that it was a beautiful raw image with a story to enter into the Guild image of the month competion.
Eddie’s dad is a Boxer and his family have a bug boxing connection with a boxing gym in Royston. Eddie was given these vintage kids boxing gloves by his grandfather. They set the scene beatifully but the direct eye contact from Eddie at only 2 weeks old was the winner. He was such an alert baby and so interested in the camera. He was a joy to photograph and I’m over the moon to have recieved a bronze award for this stunning shot.
