The Children's Society Photoshoot

I styled this 2 day shoot for The Children's Society.  I had to find 2 sets of parents with 2 children each making 2 models families.  I found a suitable house big enough to shoot in different areas and with sufficient room for the 8 models, chaperones, 2 clients, photographer and his assistant.  On the second day we used a park and street area.  I oversaw the clothing and props and organised the lunches and coffee/biscuit breaks.  We had to shoot positive happy families and also runaway scenarios. These photos will be used on the website, leaflets and brochures.
