Sweet Baby Boy

This very sweet 3 month old was so funny to photograph. Initially he was completely disturbed by my camera. He was all smiles looking at mom, but as soon as the "camera" came in site, I got one of these looks...
But time bets all.

I am not sure if he got use to the camera or just decide I wasn't going anywhere, but he relaxed and I was able to get a few great images.


And now my favorites...

The, "look at the camera" caught in action.

And the one I was waiting for, "completely forgot about the camera" smile.

Siblings

This week I was honored to photograph a few siblings. It's always fun to see the relationship between the younger and older siblings, and to see the "cool" shift in the older siblings. Children 5 and under seem less occupied by my camera and capturing their personalities is a little easier. While most children older than 5 years have a definite idea of how they want the camera to see them. The older siblings take it beyond themselves and do there best to also influence the younger siblings to do the "proper" pose.
It's my job to capture them were they are, so I catch "Cool" then I do my best to instigate a natural response. Parents seem to like the "COOL" and LOVE the natural responses.
Check out these adorable pairs...

Oh the personalities I encounter...I love my job.

Few Weekends Ago

This past few weeks I have had the pleasure of photographing lots of very fun individuals. However the photo shoot on this particular weekend stood out, I had a new challenge. Take a look at these...

Friends

I was asked to photograph a group of four friends varying from ages 3 to 5. I learned that I need a colorful, loud, funny, whatchamacallit to attract ALL eyes and smiles at one time.
Here are some of the first pics...Next it was time to have them sit and look in one direction...


Not much luck!

But individually I had all the attention!What could be more admirable than friendship?
