Last night I met the lovely Hilary in her beautiful little cottage in Loose to take some headshots. She was warm, smiley, had a beautiful sparkle in her eyes and we really did have a great time, first shooting some casual photos in the garden (which lead down to a waterfall and stream!) and then setting up our ‘Hollywood lighting’ with the Triflector to get some stunning headshots. Sometimes I forget how much I love taking portrait photography in Kent. I love meeting and chatting with people, hearing their stories and making them smile….and not those smiles that come from being told to ‘smile!!’ but the natural ones that come as a result of some fun time spent together.
Hilary told me last night that she contacted me because I am a member of the British Institute of Professional Photographers (BIPP) and I have to say that made my evening even better. There are tons of photographers out there and sometimes it’s difficult to know which one to choose (like finding a reputable builder) but for me it’s important to be part of the BIPP because of the professional standards it champions. Anwyway enough of that, here are a few of my favourites from last nights session.
Thank you for a lovely evening Hilary, I really did have fun.
