Turning 13 is a big deal, your life is changing, you’re moving from being a girl to a young woman. What a wonderful idea to capture that time with a photo shoot.

For this kind of photography, I always sit down with the client before the shoot and talk through what a lifestyle shoot is about and what should be included.  For Libby this included who was to be part of her shoot, what things where important to her and where her favourite places are.  My goal is to incorporate this in the shoot and to use the time to create a feeling of trust, familiarity and comfort between us.

Libby's shoot started with some images of things that were important to her (good girl shoes!!!!). This was followed by a series of shots in her home with her family.  The family connections were fab and we were able to capture the special bonds between Libby,  her parents and younger sister.

We then went out on location.  The train tracks were my idea, something a bit fun and different. Libby chose to wear her favourite dress, purchased for her end of school function.  Libby's mum was on train lookout - but don't worry, the tracks were infrequently used and we had a good view in both directions!  The lineal aspect of the train tracks made for a great contrast to Libby’s movement and dress  - great shots!

We finished the photo-shoot at Libby's favourite place, Raumati Beach - this time with a more casual look.  Not sure how much longer she will be holding her mother’s hand.......but it is captured forever.
