Christmas is a great time for family sessions but it's tough finding time to edit! This session was a nice mix of group line-ups and casual shots. It's great (and the primary brief) to have everyone lined up for a photo but it's away from the studio set-up that the real opportunities present themselves. Space wasn't a big issue here so I was able to get away with a 50mm indoors without needing to go wider and the (relatively) long lens forced me to hang back and observe.
The "studio" shots were taken with a 24-70, mostly about 35mm. It's good to have the width and versatility of a zoom but at the first opportunity I switched to the fast prime - speed is king with kids so you don't miss a moment and the massive aperture really lifts the subject off the background.
