My project is about children who are learning to life and take their cue from their parents. I thought it was a great idea because it will help me in the future to get customers if I want to do it. Every parent wants to have a "memory" of all stages of development of their child, and my idea is excellent. This idea combines them so that they do something together.
On the Internet a lot of pictures like this one. I wanted to get my pictures were similar. Parent does something, and the child tries to repeat it. I did not want to look for other people's photos in the Internet and try to repeat them. I wanted to come up with my ideas.
Initially, I wanted only two pictures, but then changed my mind and decided to let it be four.
1. Son helps his father tinkering something.
2. Daughter wants to be as beautiful as her mother.
3. Son helps mother plant flowers.
4. The Father shows son a motorcycle, but this photo I did not like, because the father of the boy wanted to do everything quickly and constantly interrupted me. So I decided to replace it with a picture with a daughter who is shopping with her mother. They come out of the store. Daughter holding a bag with purchases like her mom.

All the time I used canon 24-70 mm mark 2 lens which is perfect suits for this type of shoot and delivers perfect quality. Most of the time I used my two canon 600 RT flashes with transmitter st e3. Also, I applied Photoshop to "clean" faces.
Son helps his father tinkering something
The most difficult thing is occupy the child at that age. I had to call him constantly and at the same time telling my girlfriend when to press the button on the camera. Fortunately, my son likes to twist something, especially when I'm doing something too.
I use my favourite method. I've highlighted the shadows on the faces using soft box. I loved how I combined with external flash light. My back and my son back and head in the back illuminated by the sun. It look a completely different not as usually when I get rid of shadows.
Daughter wants to be as beautiful as her mother
In this series I got all that I have planned. I especially like the shape of the mirror, and as mother and daughter look in the reflection. I have no problems with them because they felt free and confident. I got a lot of good shots and had plenty to choose from.
This photo session I especially liked, because I had to take pictures in a small room and thought it would be hard. I used the softbox and beauty dish. Because it is a small room, I put the soft box after the open door, and put beauty dish inside the room. Soft box was main light, it was two steps brighter than beauty dish. I measured the light and did not use the automatic settings. It was difficult to choose which photo I want. I like all of them but this one looks more natural.
Son helps mother plant flowers
The most difficult thing is occupy the child at that age. Once I managed it, I was able to start taking photographs of the child. Throughout shooting I had to suggest to his mother as I would like to see him. It was difficult because you can not tell the child in what position to become. Eventually I managed to do it.
I use my favourite method. I've highlighted the shadows on the faces using soft box.
I chose the most suitable picture. It was not difficult because the baby changed position constantly. I had no doubt, as usually happens when you choose between two or three photos.

A daughter who is shopping with her mother
The idea was to take pictures of mother and daughter in a typical Saturday afternoon for their favorite thing - shopping. It was easy to photograph. The girl's mother felt calm and confident, the girl was a little shy, but her mother helped her and explained that I want to see them. Session took less than an hour, I wanted to take pictures in different places, that would be plenty to choose from, but this was the first picture that I loved.
I Used flash on the camera just to remove shadows. I decided to take a picture at this angle because it makes the picture varied and interesting.
ConclusionWhen children are not grown, they imitate their parents. It is interesting and funny. Every parent would like to keep this memory. This work is just about it, it is not necessary to hold the phone at the ready, that would take a picture of an interesting point, but you can just create it.
