So I have known this family now for three years. That little one in the Teepee...I knew her before she was outside of her mummy's belly. Miss Catherine is one of my poster children. I know this gorgeous creature...but on her third birthday...forget about it. She wanted no part of this photoshoot...which was about Hamish the gorgeous addition to the family. While her mum was sitting in the makeup chair getting spoiled rotten by Renee, I was trying to sneak some shots of Hamish off. Catherine had other ideas. She stomped her little feet and tried to shoo me away from her little brother like I was a cat that was being naughty. She was the ultimate gorgeous little mini diva detesting the paparazzi. That is until I gave her a bickie. Sometimes they work a treat... Never underestimate the power of a good bickie. However...this reprieve only lasted until I started paying attention to Hamish again then all bets were off. Hmmmm. WHat is a photographer to do. My heart was breaking. I love Miss Catherine...she is my gorgeous girl. But nah...today she would have none of aunty Mandi. We tried relocating down in the garden and setting up the most gorgeous teepee...Brilliant Idea except nope she didn't really feel like coming out of such a beautiful setting.
So I farted.
Yes you heard me right.
When ever I am stuck for what to do. I fart. Usually it is with my mouth. (for the record it was this time as well).
Catherine decided that a fart was worth a peek out of the tent. I asked her if it was her who did it. She flattly denied it. I asked her if it was her daddy? She gave him a suspicious look. Then it ripped again. Head popped out one more time. This time I told her I was so clever that I had identified whom it was who had done such and unsightly thing. She demanded to know whom it was!
"The bear in the woods of course." This she found absolutely hilarious. (to my huge relieve...I was slightly concerned it would send her cowering all the more in her teepee). But now our Catherine the Great strode out to show that bear her bare bum. GORGEOUS! Then we were off cooking with grease. Here are some sneak peaks from their shoot. And an introduction to the most chilled out 9 day old I have yet to meet. Hamish. Hamish made one peep the entire session. Was given boobie and he was sweet. Simple life. Gotta love it. SO LOVE THIS FAMILY. So looking forward to photographing them in their new home for Hamish's first birthday! Yeah!
