Lockdown Love Stories - Stay at home portraits - Sarah & Mark

Oh my gosh they’re brilliant!  I love the ones outside and the one with me upside down! You’re so creative to come up with ideas like that just in the moment! 💛Sarah & Mark

Below is a selection of my favourite facetime shots. They're not up to my usual hi-res quality, but I think you'll agree they have their own unique charm and document the strange lockdown life that we've been living through.

I'd recently seen a few other photographers sharing images from virtual couples shoots done via video call and I was itching to give it a go myself!. I wasn't too sure if I'd be able to get my usual amount of energy across by doing a shoot on video call. I was also very conscious there were going to be a number of limitations that I don't normally have to consider while doing a more typical hand held camera shoot. 

I was so surprised how fun it was and it helped that Sarah & Mark were on board with my ideas but also came up with ideas too. Sarah had gone around their house prior to our video call to scope out all the possible backdrops. Sarah sent over a few ideas which was great and she was starting to think like a pro photographer and looked for the best pools of natural light.
