Photographing children, seniors, engagements, families,
and weddings
can get a little overwhelming,
but I love them all for different reasons.
This is why I currently shoot all types of sessions,
I have just limited the number of sessions I book.
So far this summer, my life has been very manageable
which has allowed a perfect balance of work and play!
But thats not to say I don’t play while I work…..
I have been taking photos of Jack and Katia for a few years now.
This time, I took them out in the yard without their mom or dad
and it worked out awesome!
Most of the time during family/child sessions,
the parents are yelling from behind my back:
“hey, put that down!”
“look at the camera!”
“smile! say cheese”
“stop goofing around and look at the camera!!!!!”
But I want the kids to goof around.
I want the kids to be themselves.
I want the kids to be kids.
It was a lot easier getting photos of Katia because
she’s still young enough to play along with my “tricks,”
whereas Jack could see right through me.
If I have to talk about centipedes to become friends with Jack,
I will talk about centipedes!
I love this one,
this is Katia’s genuine happiness that the sun was peeking out:
hahahaha!!!!!
This image is funny because their poses and actions aren’t child-like at all!
He was actually letting me take his photo here!
I think I can speak for all photographer’s when I say
our cameras are drawn to expressive personalities like Katia’s :
Summer:)
Just a little bit cold from the sprinkler:
