We had a good talk about this and I made it clear that I am not shooting ordinary child photographs. I however take portrait photographs of children. I think the difference is immense. Child photographers tend to take quite kitsch images of children on a fur, or in a crib with a rattle and baby clothes with pastel colors, turning them into stereotypes. My style is to take portratis of children in the same way as adults. Images that shows their character and personality. This was exactly what the client wanted.
So the studio was prepared the evening before and the same evening I went through the routines and planned the concept and what kind of images that were going to be taken. I also notified Erika to bring some of their toys etc. After 2 hours of shooting and many more editing the pictures turned out great!
