When it comes to photographing kids, I spend a good bit of time getting to know them even before clicking the shutter…a playdate of sorts. I’ll ask them questions (because what kid doesn’t like talking about themselves =), have them take pictures of me doing something silly, play tag, climb all over playground equipment…whatever it takes to make them comfortable with me and with the camera. This is key to establish early on in the session to capture those dreamy eye gazes or giant belly laughs. What a rare treat to find in my inbox some photos of this interaction captured between a client and I. Such wonderful, wonderful clients who allowed me to share these photos from an amazing family session a few months ago.
