Kate Weiland creates brilliant images of her amicable and cheerful family but, be warned, these are not the traditional family photos you might expect to see from a shoot with someone like this Newton Family Photographer! Kate shares her unique and quirky images with her followers on Instagram, which are about 230 thousand gathered.
Mother-of-three is the creator of the delicious and totally ridiculous photography food series Our family bites (#ourfamilybites).
“I’ve always been a massive supporter of the fine arts and having taught Drama and Dance for many years, I was eager to get into the photography side of things. The forced perspective photography technique has been especially interesting to me – I knew it would be fun to start a series where our family could look back and just have a good laugh. The outfit ideas are endless, and I’m eager to create and present new designs,” she told Bored Panda.
Kate believes everyone can’t be good at exploring different photography concepts, and it is still perfect if you hire a professional to assist you. If we take the concept of wedding photography alone, for instance, there are numerous factors that need to be considered. For the clients, it’s a simple decision-making process on whom to hire. They might simply browse phrases such as “wedding photographers Rhode Island” and hire someone perfect to their budget from the plethora of results that follow. However, a professional photographer would be able to identify the special angles, captures the moments that are considered most special, and also include everyone that came for the wedding. There is always an added satisfaction when you hire someone professional. Also, it might be easy to grab a camera and snap a picture, but it is altogether another level of technicality to use a tripod and auto-clicks. Whatever be the event, people can contact a few local photographers by searching with keywords like “San Antonio maternity shoot” or something similar, use scenic locations nearby and inquire about family photography to generate ideas for the photoshoot.
Her husband Nate works in a recycling company called “BluPlanet”, in which he also acts as a co-owner. As for Mom, she works as a secondary school teacher.
Kate tries to reflect the life of her beautiful and happy family.
“After our sushi picture went viral, I thought ‘well, people don’t totally hate it is – so I’ll raise the steaks (HA!) and continue the project with some other cuisine’,” she said.
Canadian also names the disadvantages of her new hobby: “In truth, the hardest part of the process is stopping myself from eating the props before finishing the shoot. I’ve gained a few pounds in the process, but it’s all worth it because #ourfamilybites has been the best boredom killer.”
