In my mind. there's nothing worse than being told to stand in front of a camera and say 'cheese'. Not only does it make you immediately feel uncomfortable, but freeze the moment anyone says 'cheese' and there's a danger they will look like one of those Creature Comfort characters (remember them?).
I want you to look back on photos of family and recognise the smile or the silly face: natural images of natural interactions. This is what I want from my family's pictures and it's absolutely what I want from your family's gallery too. I want you to see your pictures and smile at the memories, not cringe at the recollection of that excruciating shoot where everyone felt so uncomfortable.
Whether it's just your immediate tribe or a big family event, I'll come along, hang out for a bit and capture some images you'll want to treasure for years to come. I won't be bossy and I won't - ever - say "smile! say cheese!". Promise!
