Shooting from the heart // The Trundle family

An email popped into my inbox and it went a little something like this:

meaghan, would you be happy to photograph the love and connection i share with the 3 beautiful boys in my life? don’t think family shoot… don’t think children’s shoot… maybe think couples shoot.. but with all differnt combinations of me and my gorgeous men???

But I don’t shoot families, I said to her. Which it turns out, is one of the reasons she’d asked me.  I felt so honoured and over the moon, (and terrified of course. This woman is the pro of family photography. I just shoot pretty people getting married!).

I loved her vision for the shoot from the outset. Her email gripped me. She wanted the love photographed, and hey, that’s totally my bag. Soulful, engaging, spine tingling portraits of her boys of the people she loves. That was my aim.

Shoot from the heart, I told myself.

Thanks to Pru for coaxing me outside my comfort zone. If she hadn’t, I never would have realised how much I like it out there.

Thanks to her two boys. They are half glass full kids. The best trait there is.

Thanks to her husband who came out of his comfort zone with me.

Thanks to all of them for letting my photograph their love.

Love shines on

Something beautiful to brighten up this dull and sodden ANZAC day.

Laura and Ben and a little ray of sun.
