Beautiful Baby Girls
Babies and Children… Have you ever tried to photograph them? Everyone always comments on the images I do of children; how they all look so angelic, happy and beautiful. “You really have a way with kids” they say. I even shot the children’s division for Nike, so one could conclude that, yes, I have a way with children, but it is not that simple. Shooting Children can be challenging!
My secret… PATIENCE, lot’s of patience and PSYCHOLOGY. I know, who would have thought you needed a degree in psych to be a photographer? Being able to relate to, and on your subjects level, at any level, whether they are an infant or a CEO is key to a great photograph!
To tell you the truth… they cry a lot, CHILDREN that is. Sometimes they cry for hours, which often leaves me walking away feeling beaten. However, at the end of the day when you are reviewing your images, there they are, the PERFECT few shots that make you look and feel like a magician. Your clients are amazed, happy, thrilled and even in awe at your results, given the circumstances.
Oh yeah… did I forget to mention that you need to SHOOT lots and lots of film? There is always safety in numbers!
All images were shot with available light with my Canon Mark III and a 70-200mm f2.8 lens
Snow Day
Remember when you were a kid and you got a snow day and you played until it got dark outside. Well I got to spend Portland’s most recent storm 
with some beautiful and very energetic children that reminded me of how fun it is to play in the snow at any age. I had so much fun shooting these beautiful children, take a look at the full album on my facebook fan page!
