Little Blue Tulip began on a whim & a fanciful thought four years ago as the first paid shoot under the Blue Tulip umbrella. It began in response to a question....
The question was - Could I reinterpret something that has been done to death & usually with little or no imagination ? Could I do it in a way that would completely turn an entire genre of photography on it's head? And most intriguing of all, could I do this in a creatively satisfying manner & keep my integrity ?
Our style of capture reflects our philosophy on children & the Early Years Learning Framework. We believe children deserve to be treated with the same dignity & respect you would give to an adult. It is with this in mind that we work the way we do & are able achieve the results that we do.
Children don't need to be dressed up in silly clothing, told to smile or have things waved at them. With a little bit of time & practised observation they will engage & begin to interact with us on their own level. This is what we are looking for.
It is important to understand that we operate in your daycare/early childhood education centre/preschool in a way that will not disrupt your programming or the children’s day to day routine. We always have & will photograph all of your children individually, unless there is a special need not to do so. We will also photograph any siblings that attend concurrently.

Darcy wasn't having a bar of it. No way. Tell your story walking & take your camera with you. Of course the real Darcy stood up & everything was good...........do you think I helped ? This was taken by the uber apprentice, Zac Macleod. Or, as he is increasingly being referred to as.......- " The Future".
