the Hitchcock family

I've known parents Elizabeth and Jeremy Hitchcock for a few years, and I met their three children when I photographed them last year. Returning to them this year meant I already knew the kids and their personalities. Better yet: they live across the street from a large park, so after some indoor portraits, we ventured out for more on a bright fall morning. 

I knew the session was a success when the littlest one, Benji, invited me back to the house for hot cocoa. What else could be better?

A wonderful family and a great, relaxed session:

Littles and Bigs

On an early December morning, I photographed a fundraising event for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Manchester. Part of my task was to create portraits of the Littles (in their lingo) with his or her respective Big. Given the hundreds of supporters waiting in the next room, our time was limited, but I hope the portraits reflect the ease and comfort of these special relationships.

These little ones were part of a larger family session but are certainly worthy of their own post. Most of the time they wandered about in an open field and woods, enjoying themselves and barely noticing me.

In keeping with the recent spate of family portraiture:

Addison & family

Addison turned one, and her parents celebrated with a portrait session. Towards the end, she needed a distraction, and I had already finished with my Bronica.
