Helen and Jay Makadia, with their lovely daughter Sofia, were staying at the Ocean Club in Grace Bay. Helen is herself a very talented photographer from Boston who’s work can be seen at http://www.helenmakadiaphotography.com/ Helen highlighted a trend that most photographers can identify with. Loads of pics of Jay and Sofia, but not so many with her included. It’s great when a photographer practices what they preach and takes the time out to ensure an investment is being made to capture themselves with their family.
There are generally two conflicting emotions when photographing another photographer. On one hand the pressure is on because as a photographer you’re aware that your client is also looking at where the best light is and what the best background is etc. On the other hand you’re also aware that your client knows what it takes to produce a great series of images. No matter what our client’s expectations are, I think photographers have a lot more expectations of themselves. With this in mind I had no hesitation taking the young Makadia family on a fun portrait session in the Turks and Caicos Island. Hopefully it will add a little warmth in a rather chilly Boston.
