15 Things that make you a professional children’s photographer

If you ever tried to “fix” finger marks on your screen with a patch tool, because they looked like a smudge on a photo, you may be a professional children’s photographer. If your wardrobe consists mostly of black leggings, you may be a professional children’s photographer. If any story your friends have about their life can be turned into something photography related, you may be a professional children’s photographer. If you ever wanted to come up to a random kid on the street and ask their parents to bring them to your studio for a model call, only to use their face in your portfolio later, because they look like Meg Bitton’s models, you may be a professional children’s photographer. If you find every dilapidated barn and doors beautiful, and you collect old, scruffy boards from your neighbours’ yards, because they would make an amazing backdrop, you may be a professional children’s photographer. If your favourite colour is 18% grey, you may be a professional children’s photographer. If you cannot simply take your kids to the park, without 70-200mm, to then store those photos in RAW format on two hard drives, never to be edited again, you may be a […]

Confessions of an “award winning photographer”.

About two years ago I joined one of the popular photographers’ associations in UK. I not only owned a DSLR, but actually found some lovely people I could call clients and they were happy to part with their cash to pay for what I still considered a hobby. I wanted to be a “proper” photographer, I wanted to belong. Being a part of photographers’ association made me feel like part of the crowd I aspired to be like one day. “I will feel less of a fraud, and more like a “professional”, I thought.

Harlow by Dinky Feet Newborn Photographer Rotherham

Harlow’s lovely folks own a bespoke flower shop in Dinnington and they let me go wild with colours and set ups, so I poured my heart and soul into making this gallery as epic as it can be. Also, as some of you may know, I LOOOVE my flowers. I could happily use flowers in every single setup. They look opulent, and vibrant and I absolutely love it. The possibilities are endless.

Henry by Dinky Feet Newborn Photographer Sheffield

Henry’s lovely parents didn’t want to have him Photoshopped on a plane flying across the Gobi desert. They didn’t want their baby dressed in any of my crazy outfits, which I have a vast collection of. They wanted their session to be about their baby, raw, basic, and beautiful. And I love that. I have a passion for opulent setups but I also love a bit of lifestyle, or as Henry preferred: “freestyle” session.

Heidi by Dinky Feet Newborn Photographer Sheffield

I love sitter sessions. They are the perfect portrait shoot after the sleepy newborn session, and before the messy first year cake smash celebration. Your baby is now between 6 and 12 months and sitting up unsupported, with a full range of moods and smiles, mixed with curious stares and laughter, sometimes anger, sometimes amazement. They are interacting with us on a new level. Dinky Feet is here to capture this beautiful milestone.

Sienna by Dinky Feet – Newborn Photographer Sheffield

Sienna’s parents contacted me when my little model was already 13 days old, but they were lucky to pick a week, when all my newborn models were running a bit “late”, so we booked our session within a couple of days.

Confessions of a training junkie

I’ve trained with everyone. You name it, I’ve done it. Absorbing knowledge is my fetish. I wanted to write this blog post for ages, but not before I finished training with the last person on my dream team of British trainers I have coveted over the last two years of my professional career as a photographer. This week I fulfilled my plan. As I am known in photography circles as the douche that shoves constructive criticism down everyone’s throat, I believe it’s only fair that I extend it to trainers too.

When the elevator to success is broken.

As much as I love being patronising occasionally, I’ll refrain from it today and try to stick to the constructive points I want to make. I may struggle but bare with me.

Are memories a luxury?

This week crystallised for me the USP (unique selling points for those who had the pleasure of never working in sales), that Dinky Feet Photography has over any competitors, so I thought I will share it with you, as it’s something I have been passionate about since I started our photography business almost two years ago. It never occurred to me till now, and it did make me a little smug. Even more so than I am every time I show you guys a gallery of gorgeous images of your babies. Yes, I totally feel smug then. I created something priceless. I know we have a great gallery, when I watch it just before you arrive for your viewing, and I have tears in my eyes, and it’s not even my baby!
