"Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it."
Ferris Bueller
Whilst its always nice to try and shoehorn in the eminently quotable Ferris Bueller wherever possible, the guy does talk a lot of sense. We're all so busy with our lives and routines, its good to stop for a moment and appreciate the world around us and the people in it. Never is this more apparent than when doing a family shoot. Its a good opportunity to run around, be goofy and generally blow off all that steam. It's even better when its an extended family. Siblings, cousins, Aunts and Uncles - it's rare that everyone has the time to stop what they're doing and to get together and just enjoy being in the moment of appreciating each other's company.
I'm only mentioning this as I recently took some pictures for a family who I've done photos of before. This time though, it was a big family celebration and it was great seeing all the cousins run around together and exploring the grounds of the Lainston House Hotel near Winchester. It was even more poignant as they knew it would probably be the last time that they would all be together for quite some time as one part of the family is soon heading back over to Australia. Hopefully these pictures will help with that difficult transition, slow things down and remind them of a beautifully cold and Autumnal day in Hampshire (whilst they're in sunny Sydney).
If you're interested in a family photo shoot, especially with Christmas looming on the horizon, then now is the time to contact me and book a shoot!
