revisiting my roots

I have been working really hard behind the scenes here getting great systems in place and building workflow processes that will work into the future.

Part of that has been reorganising my file back up system into something more manageable. I’ve deleted over 50 000 files, and copied hundreds of thousands of photos to different places. During this slow, boring process, I’ve had the chance to look back at some old sessions from the very start of my business in 2010. It has been a simultaneously horrifying and vindicating experience looking at how far I’ve come with my photography over the past two years.

I decided to put together a post after revisiting some of my forgotten favourites in photoshop. I’m fascinated by the idea that some of these kids are at school now, the babies are almost turning two. It seems just like yesterday that I met them. My eye, my style and my taste has changed so much since the beginning. Not to mention my technical skill with my camera and post production. I can only imagine what I’ll think of these in another two years time.

Enjoy some keepers from my first family portrait sessions in 2010. Rejuvenated, rediscovered, remembered. A little blast from the past.
