Metteli Photography - by Mette Lindbaek - Abu Dhabi Professional Photographer for Baby, Kids and Family Portraits
No offence to the parents, but this is my first family shoot ever where I have more shots where the kids are focused and looking in the camera than the parents. These little girls where absolute perfect models, a photographer’s dream. No instructions needed, there was natural posing and smiles all over the place. :)

There is one problem being a photographer: I take so many pictures for others that I don’t have time/don’t feel like using the camera more than I already do/don’t have time/make lots of excuses/ not to take pictures of me and my family. Not taking pictures of me is OK, I am much much happier behind the camera than in front. But I would like to have some more pictures of me with my daughter and as a family though. Oh did I mention, my hubby doesn’t like having his picture taken any more than I do? Anyway, I really really want to get more pics of us, and it is something that is very high on my to-do list! And not just vacation stuff, i want some more pictures from our life here in Abu Dhabi too. Luckily I have my beloved iPhone, and I have gotten a lot better lately taking pictures of small things in our everyday life. And honestly, for future memories, iPhone isn’t bad at all. Did you know you can make and iphone/instagram album at Blurb? I am just getting ready to order mine, I will show you when I get it!
That being said, of course I will choose pictures taken with my “real” camera over my iphone any day. So while I am working on getting better at taking pictures of our family, I will at least stick to my goal of showing you 1 portrait a month of Sophie. And in line with the wish of having more everyday pictures, I have made a story board of Sophie where I have tried to capture some of her real expressions. And as the person who knows her best in the entire world, I think I did a pretty good job
I can make story boards from sessions too, but then you have to ask for it

I loved this beautiful little girl! I have to say it again I feel so incredibly blessed to meet so many adorable little kids and create images that will be their memories in the future. After all, that is what pictures are, right? Memories for the future. One of the things I really cherish most are my photo albums from all the different periods of my life, every time I take time to see through them it is like travelling back remembering moments from my life. (they are safely stored in Norway by the way, so not very often I have the chance, but still…) Living an expat life I think it is extra important to preserve your memories through pictures. Don’t you?
This brother and sister were the perfect little models, they were just playing around and posing all over the place. Such lovely kids!
Which image do you like best?I have a couple of favorites here which are high on my list of my all time faves actually… Funnily enough I really loved this session even if everything seemed to be going wrong right before it started, as my camera was acting up and suddenly my strobes weren’t working either. Luckily I have great natural light in my studio on bright days, so no studio lights needed anyhow…

Such adorable siblings! They were a little shy at first but after a little while the smiles were all over the place.
