Archer Watkins is a very serious little man. He sat me down at the start of this baby photoshoot in Kings Park and said “Look Gav, I dont really do photos. All the baby talk and the coo cooing and the trying to make me smile – it’s just not my bag. But Im here for Mum and Dad. They’ve been pretty good to me the last few months, you know, bringing me up and stuff, so Ive agreed to this photoshoot because I like to see them happy. So just do your job, and no mucking about, see?” After our little talk I thought I was going to be in for a very hard time, but I think Archer softened to the idea of the photoshoot as time went by. By the end of it he was even making suggestions – “Hey Gav, how about you just photograph my foot… Ill put it here. And then have Mum and Dad in the background all blurry?” Some of his ideas were really good and can be seen amongst these images below, my favourites from the photography session. I love his facial expressions!
