I was contacted by a playgroup Mum.
She told me the mums who attended the playgroup had trouble remembering the other mum's names, and Lena had requested they bring in photos of themselves with their kids, to put on a board, for a bit of name recognition.
The mums had lots of photos of their kids, but so few of themselves. It seemed they were always looking through the lens rather than at it.
I know the feeling. Of course I have thousands of photos of my kids, but the rare picture of me is usually with a camera in front of my face!
So my task was to photograph the mums and their families during a playgroup session.
The sittings were super quick, but it was lots of fun, and a different way for me to shoot portraits, which is great because I love variety.
Thanks so much to all the mums for having me there, and huge thanks to Lena for her clever organisation!
Your pictures make me smile.
