Every time I do an article re denied contact that have to have photos included, which I hate may I say, the photographer will always say that their brief is to take sad photos!
The reasoning behind this is as it is a tragic situation, I have to look miserable.
Trying to look miserable for 2 hours, is miserable it itself!
I was thinking about this, and yes of course the issue of denied contact is a very sad, heartbreaking thing but would I really want my granddaughter to see photos of me looking sad?
No, of course not.
The memories I carry of her are joyful and happy, certainly not sad.
So there needs to be a sensible balance, there are positives in all of this , raising public awareness of the rights of grandchildren needs recognition, not photos of a miserable gran.
