Family interviews and quotes for book
For the book I wanted some personal quotes from both my dad and step-mum as they are the people constantly caring for Amelia and they give a lot of love and dedication. I thought it would add a nice personal touch to the photo story and I have seen it used in other photo books and really liked the idea.
I didn't do official interviews as i don't feel that you would get as raw and natural responses but whilst spending time photographing Amelia and my family I asked various questions and noted a few of the quotes down that my step-mum and Dad had said. Also when showing them the final images for the books I also noted down anything they had to say about the content in the images. The ones which I used in the book were:
- “ We have a lot of cupboards full of all the supplies she needs on a day to day basis, we are definitely well stocked. She has more cupboard space than anyone else.” - Donna (Amelia's mum and my step-mum)
- “She makes everyday brighter and life wouldn’t be the same without her.” - Steven (our dad)
- “She has a lot of attitude when she’s just been woken up, but who doesn’t? We’re all the same really.“ - Steven
- “She is an inspiration to everyone she meets, always full of joy and never lets life get her down.” - Donna
