Mother & Child

Digital original

I hadn't photographed a mother and child in over a decade so I decided I'd approach it from the same perspective as any other indoor nudes - white sheets and soft lighting.

Working with Aurora and the baby was very different from the other work I have done with multiple models, primarily because Ray was too young to direct - try as both Aurora and I did, the baby just did was the baby wanted. Fortunately, the session was being recorded on the EOS 10D, so making more then three hundred images over the session was not an issue.

In the end, both Aurora and I were very pleased with the results; being able to make so many images overcame Ray's tendency to fidget and move in place, and the comfort Aurora already had with me and the process made the session very relaxed and enjoyable for all.
