I've finally sifted through the hundreds of images I had taken for my family project and reduced it to just a small collection, as I stated earlier in my other post, my photography technique would be natural action shots. The composition for the majority of these images was to capture what my eye sees in a natural way...this was angle, lighting, colour to enhance the moods etc. I shot in complete manual mode because when I shot in Aperture Priority the images became blurry due to slow shutter speed to keep the light coming in. ISO was cranked up to 3000, the room was just too dull at times thanks to the winter months!!

Nannypop
This image is a shot of my dear mother Julie and my youngest daughter Evie. Evie and my mum share a passion of clothing, this image shows nanny giving Evie a new top she had bought her earlier that day x I think I timed the looking space on both subjects down to a t! Both are looking at the topic of the conversation (Evies new top) I liked the way my mum is looking down with a gentle smile on her face and holding the top against Evie. It displays her love for her granddaughter.


HOHO GLOW
In this image my daughter Evie was dressing up. She had just found the jazzy Santa hat in the decorations box. This close up was how close I was to Evie at the time, as I stated earlier, I want my viewers to see exaclty what my naked eye could see at the time. I added a few fill layers on photoshop to soften and warm the image up. My little teddy bear!

death by ipod
This image is of my eldest daughter Sarah. By this point she was oblivious to me taking photographs of her, partly because Id taken so many beforehand and partly because she was engrossed with the contents of her Ipod. This image is so natural, taken sat on the floor next to her on bed I just clicked away while she was chatting to friends.



Evie dont mind them
I put these together as they come in sequence. Grandad was letting my snake Ang stretch his legs and cheeky Evie wanted to get in the shot.
Mum in the background was in a world of her own until I started laughing at Evie pulling faces....which brought her attention to the snake....HAHA look at mums face x
I love the way I made the snake the main focal point of the second image with mums horrified face in the background




Mum hates snakes!

Evie & Gangang
Buddah and Me
Evie wasnt bothered about  me taking photos anymore and FINALLY stopped posing hehe, This shot is beautiful, Evie sat there for some time with her head on "Grandad"


Lawn darts 
This is my favourite image out of the collection, I just love the composition and the message it gives across to me. I caught Evie sulking as her lawn darts werent sticking in the ground. Evie is a little OCD and only plays with the matching ones (this time blue). It was a cold morning and the sun was shining making it bright and fresh, seconds beofre the photo was taken Evie turned around and said "silly floor". I think the rays of the sun through the trees help portray the weather, cold and crisp.

Potty & choc choc

I walked in to find Evie on her potty, so glad I had my camera round my neck! What a proud moment for us both. Potty training is a testing time to say the least! Ps. Did you notice the top she is wearing is the one Nanny gave her the day before??? :)
