Erin, Will & Mary

Here is a recent session I did in my studio with a wonderful client of mine, Erin. I love getting to know the parents and kids I photograph! Having two boys of my own gives me a different sense of perspective and comfort that I probably wouldn't have without my own experiences. Erin regularly brings her 4 kids to the studio for sessions. Like I mentioned previously, I'm always amzazed with the strength of mom's. Corralling 1 child can be a challenge.. but 4?! Will is about 12 months and Mary 2 1/2.

Capturing a child's unique personality is fun and challenging. Sometimes there isn't much in the way of verbal communication, but body language can play a huge part... I love getting down to their level and acting like a crazy, wild kid. This can involve rolling around, barking like a dog, make honking sounds, peekaboo and on and on. I'm glad nobody's taking photographs of me!!!
