This couple from the Valais contacted me to do an outdoor photo session to immortalize their pregnancy. But why me? They wanted images of the lakeside with a style that was out of the ordinary. My head was spinning! I went out to scout the area to find a discreet spot without too many tourists for the shoot. Once back in front of my screen, I had to think of feasible poses that were out of the ordinary. After a telephone conversation and a few messages, we got on extremely well. I had lots of ideas, but the dad had to do a cover-up...
Very lucky we were! Completely at ease with this couple, we began this lakeside stroll on a fairly overcast, almost foggy day. We started off with a few poses with the mother-to-be, followed by the couple in more “serious” poses, and then some more offbeat poses to warm up the ambient temperature.
Some 350 images were sent to the couple for selection.
Twenty or so are selected, and here I am, laughing in front of my screen all alone in my office, taking great pleasure in processing these images. I wish them every happiness with their little boy! And maybe there'll be a sequel...
