I'm not going to lie and say photographing kids is always easy. I try to prepare for sessions and have ideas in my head on what I want to do with the families and kids but most of the time it doesn't work out that way. Does that bother me? Nope! What we have to remember is kids will be kids and they don't quite understand why I have to take so many photos, why they have to sometimes sit still for long periods and basically what the whole process is about. So through all the craziness that goes on during a session I pride myself on being a very relaxed person during sessions and just hope that the parents see this and realize that I'm there to capture their kids as they are, at this time. So what if the little ones will not sit still and just want to run. That is just that child at this stage in their life. Curious and independent. I may not get a bunch of photos that I intended to get but there will be that one moment where I do capture your child with those big beautiful eyes and that sweet expression. It's that moment that I have captured their soul and froze this moment in time and that is all I can really wish for at each session I do. So when you come into a session with huge expectations of kids sitting and being perfect and me being able to capture a ton of photos this will only result in stress or disappointment on you when the kiddos are just being themselves. It's not about that number of photos we get during the session, it's about capturing who they are at this age. Even if it is only one great photo.
SO...M Family, thank you for your patience and easy going personalities. You were great!!
This one cracks me up. He is just being an 18mos old.
Here is that one split second of capturing an expression that I'm always looking for with little ones. The eyes!!!
and the eyes again... love looking into the eyes of children!
and some lovin..
