Polka Dots

The other day I had the pleasure to photograph 3 siblings - 2 boys and 1 girl. The sun was out, the creek was running and everyone was having a good time. Then the sunglasses and hats came out. Oh boy! What fun when you're young and there's something new to play with!

Celia loved the sunglasses! You can see it here in this image - throwing her head back and laughing. Do you remember how the world looked the first time you wore sunglasses? I start to giggle when I look at this image.

As for hats, they can be hit or miss. What's that strange thing on my head? Fortunately, she enjoyed it - especially when her older brothers had on hats as well.

I love how these images complement each other. One harsh from the contrasty light and the other soft, made in the shade kind of look. What's fun is that they captured Celia as she is - a vibrant two year old.

Baby Portraits

When I get a call asking about new baby portraits, there's an excitement that shoots through me and my brain begins to see images from the voice and description of the child from the parent.  When I arrived at this client's home, I had a general idea of what I needed but my work really shines when I stay open to the moment, and what is shown to me.

This image is one of those that just developed and after the creative session, I knew there was a broad variety of images that would make a great newborn book for this family.  This image covers an entire page of their book and is accompanied by the words, "big shoes to fill."

Sometimes just paying attention, or a new phrase I learned, having "situational awareness." is the open door to some great images.

Faces! Faces! Nothing but Faces!

Now that we've all got a little cabin fever and had some nice warm days this week, it's time to start thinking about your children's portraits.
