Jayda and Brocks Big Mess....

I met the absolutely gorgeous children of Karin today - Jayda and Brock, who were both weeks apart from my Kealy and My Sophie.....

They had come for a mini portrait session, and then a very messy "Paint Yourself Silly" session.

I thought they were going to be tough cookies to crack, but to my surprise they were right at home in front of the camera, smiles and cheekiness to boot!

After a quick 10 minute clothed session, we stripped them down, and let them at it. It was quite funny at first when I gave Jayda the paint and brush - she kept looking at Mum wondering if she was allowed to go nuts on herself, she really did think she was going to get in trouble..... That was until I took a brush and dobbed a nice big red splodge on her belly and Mum didnt say BOO..... After that she was in "Mess Heaven"...

I find that when I do these shoots the children respond much better photogenically as they're really really enjoying themselves, as its not something most kids are allowed to do (paint on your own body)....

Okay so then it  was Brocks turn......... Hhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmm nope, no painting, just eating it!!!!!!! Hehehehe was a little funny, but we actually had to stop him before he was putting chunks in his mouth... Mum gave him a quick paint and we hid the brush from him.....

I really enjoyed this mornings session, and Karin I hope you enjoy your sneak peak - Jacqui xo
