Ava & Us

Throughout this summer, I had the upmost pleasure of shooting Ava Hindley, 

our little neighbor from next door..

Born on the 24th July 2010

Ava is a lovely young girl with a lively attitude,

Her smily and happy personality is one that radiates even through the pictures..

She rarely cries, and is almost never upset 

I Really miss you, baby sister !

When Ava was younger,

Her Parents had taken her to a shoot, and forgotten her Taggie

(The little pink blankie)

so when I shot these, her mum cried..

While shooting babies, I love to shoot their "stuff"

Blankie, crib, cuddly bear..

I always tell the mothers to bring their children's favorite teddy

or anything else that resembles that!

Last shoot (yet to post) The mother brought books !!

because thats what the baby liked !!

Another really important thing for me is to capture expressions

really unique expressions that make you go:

"Whaaaa!"

and laugh..

With Ava I got real funny ones:

This first one: PRICELESS!

The concentration ! haha

And her poker face:

I swear these were taken less than a second apart!!

Her dad loves this next one, says Ariel's eyes in ball mirror Ava's..

I'll leave you with some pictures:

THE EYES !

Like a little girl from an old French movie

Mummy loved the black and white pictures,

so I tried to make lots B&W

Balls, her love of balls !

that little dress: To. Die. For!

A little Photobooth session

A little more ..

A little colour to a previously monochromed picture:

Ending with a firework !

I miss you pretty girl!

much love, Showg
