We went all out with the styling of the shoot, using a hand dyed brown background to give that vintage appearance. The children were happy to play their part, arriving with dolls and toys that had belonged to their grandmother. This gave the shoot a really authentic appearance. They also came dressed for the occasion with the girls wearing old style pinafores and the boys sporting galluses, white shirts and trousers. The outfits were perfectly co-ordinated, yet subtle in colour so as not to distract. We adore these types of shoots, where the props and lighting style can be adapted and matched to suit the individual outcomes required by the client. The kids were perfect age for this photoshoot as they were old enough to take direction and pose accordingly. The entire shoot was about quality, not quantity and the resulting images did not disappoint.
