I was delighted to receive an email from Lynn, whose wedding I photographed a few years ago in Crear, but was intrigued by the title of the email - A Strange Portrait Request.
Upon reading I was delighted to discover Lynn was pregnant and wanted photos of her baby bump. We arranged to shoot the pictures in Lynn and Andrew's home as I love working in the most relaxed and natural way I
can, using available light if at all possible so it doesn't feel like an impersonal studio shoot. I also thought it would help give the images a sense of time and place, like my favourite family photographs where the surroundings of 1960s and 70s wallpaper and carpets are as fascinating as the people.
Lynn and Andrew were so lovely to photograph and I'm so happy they asked me to do this for them. I love the photos we captured and feel a bit emotional when I think that the last time I photographed Lynn she was a new bride and now she's going to be a new mummy.
I thought I'd post a wee snapshot of Jill and Euan's wedding from Pollokshields Burgh Hall yesterday. It was a glorious sunny day, and Jill and Euan's decorative touches were fabulous. More soon!
