More Family Fun at the Chinese Gardens!

Lauren and her family were leaving the island so it was off to the Chinese Gardens for the 2nd weekend in a row and it was exactly like the other shoot I did here: rainclouds looming all day.
It was another 'either we do it now or we don't do it at all' situation. We did it and had a great time!

Mr. C. was the perfect model, he was a little shy at first but we just sat chatting about toys and things while I got some portraits of him. Look at those lashes :o)

This one is my absolute favourite. Lauren got this as an 11x14 print on matboard and it looks just great, ready for framing.

I met Lauren back in 2008 when we were first here and our sons went to preschool together. So, I had taken a photo of C at Loubie's (my son) 5th birthday party. Every time we communicated through email, that photo was attached! Yes, for nearly 2 years, that's how long we took to get this shoot going! I love the framing bamboo and the doorway in this one.

The first thing I noticed when we met up was their clothes, they were perfect for the shoot. Bright colours, not all the same, but complimenting. And we had a few laughs despite some rain and many mosquitoes!

It was a pleasure photographing you Lauren, Mark and C. You made my job really easy and fun! Safe and happy travels :o)
