LOCATION

Very Dep Studio | Hanoi, Vietnam


Our team was extremely thrilled to be able to welcome the Kitchen family to our studio. The shoot was booked before the Covid wave hits and Hanoi went into lock down so after a long waiting period, we were finally able to meet each other in person.

Chris and Laura are both teachers at an international school in Hanoi. We can feel their love for their own children as well as the enthusism when interacting with kids through their eyes. Harry was a bit shy at first but we loved how he slowly warmed up to our team members and even strike many different poses as well as performed a short piece of traditional Irish dance at our studio. Pippa on the other hand, is a brave and smiley girl. The one-year-old seems to be absolutely fearless, she laughs so hard when being carried on her dad’s shoulders or getting tossed up in the air.

After 30 minutes or so, everyone forgot about the camera and all of the pressure of conducting the photoshoot. Our photographer works around, trying to capture the natural moments when the family members spend their time playing and talking to each others. We love every single genuine smile and laughter from the family of four.
