Child Photographer ~ Dee During
I was recently asked by a friend/colleague of mine, Sharon, if I would take part in a Valentines Day styled shoot that she wanted to set up to promote her business Chic Sugar. Now, I have met Sharon a few times, follow her FB page and feel that I have some idea of her level of gorgeousness. So – who was i to resist! We set the date for Sunday, 27th January. Sharon got the whole thing together including a kissing booth, stationery, make up artiste, 2 little chickens aged 4, cupcakes, sweeties, props and clothing for the kiddies.
We woke up at the crack 0f dawn and the South Easter (I’ve given it capital letters in respect) was HOWLING! Being brave and industrious souls, we decided to go ahead with it anyway.
As a Child Photographer, I know, one needs patience and it helps when the elements play along. Photographing little ones in a howling gale is potentially life threatening 🙂
Everyone (and I mean …. everyone) was incredibly patient. Got on with it and did the best they could in a rather difficult environment. A few glass goodies broke, heart-shaped balloons got popped on broken mussel shells and things got blown away but all in all, I think we did a grand job.
With gorgeous red velvet cupcakes with cream cheese topping by Claire from Take the Cake, Kissing Booth, signage and detail on the sweeties by Pretty in Stains and Make-up by Love the Look Make-up.
Thanks everyone for your time, effort and patience and especially Sharon of @Chic Sugar –
