Arlene is my boss’s, partner’s, niece. I think. What I know she is is an absolute sweetheart with an adorable son.  I got asked to shoot some maternity pictures for her and last Sunday I was out shooting in Chris’s apartment.  He was just moving in, so it was still fairly stark, and that combined with a sunny day with cloud cover, we got gorgeous light coming through a set of big windows.  Arlene was a bit nervous to start with she said, but I didn’t see it at all.  When you’re running after a three year old, there’s no time to be nervous.  Either way she was put at ease and we got some great shots.

This couch is a great prop, I think I’m going to steal it for future shoots.

Is she not amazingly gorgeous?

Lets say that photographing children involves a few tricks, not all I know well.
