As I’ve said before, photographing Lisa and her family is such a joy. They are soon moving into a new house and wanted me to document their typical weekend morning of lounging in bed and hanging out in their old home. As a lover of black and white photos, I thought this session would be perfect to portray how adept black and white is at showing relationships.
