It was an absolute delight to photograph H at Eastfield Farm at Tickhill in their beautiful sunflower field. Eastfield Farm is located just a short distance from Sheffield in Doncaster and it was well worth the drive!
H initially enquired with me about birth photography in Sheffield and as part of my birth photography services, I offer a free pregnancy mini photoshoot. We spent a short 30 minutes in the sunflower field at Eastfield Farm, but captured so many wonderful memories.
Here’s what H had to say about the experience:
The absolute highlight of my week was the shoot with you guys!! And as such I wanted to send you proper feedback. So my background during my 20’s was that I was heavily involved with beauty pageants for around 10 years- (I had an incredible time and some unforgettable experiences) but as such it has meant I have been involved in lots of photoshoots- and due to the nature of both the industry, and my personality probably- that meant everything being perfect ( nails/ professional hair and makeup/ toned body/ multiple people on longggg shoots with light deflectors, different lenses, posed images etc etc etc I’m sure you can imagine) – this, has made me a bit of a perfectionist- for our shoot however I really wanted It to reflect this genuine and important moment in my life of carrying my first child- it was my first ever shoot without hair extensions, without a flat stomach, without professional makeup, and without heavy airbrushing- and as such I felt more ‘ naked’ on our bump shoot than I ever have previously in front of the camera- and much more nervous. Obviously I arrived late and flustered, and you were totally professional, positive, lovely, kind, and have an energy that means the other person cannot help but feel at ease. 30 minutes- literally a few snaps- and you were done- and I’ll be honest I wondered how I would feel about such ‘real’ images of myself. When the pictures came through I was over the moon!!! ( it actually made me quite emotional) [Your photos] are natural, bright, positive, colourful, and just totally lovely. You obviously have a true talent to be able to shoot so casually, make your model so at ease ( all whilst casually baby wearing your beautiful son), and produce such stunning images. ( and actually when I went back to your inspiration image on the original email we have blown that one out of the park!! So well done you smashed it!!) – I will be 100% be recommending you to friends and family, and 100% will be booking shoots with you for our family in the future.
