Sometimes kids are a little shy with strangers.  But not Josiah, I had the best time photographing him.  He was the sunshine of my day… I  love this image so much, It will be a sample in my presentation room! 

Why do I love to photograph kids?  They  don’t care if you photograph them. Even when they are playing with their favourite toy.  Who said every photo of a child had to be staring straight at you with a big smile?  I prefer the type of photos that show personality.  When a parent say’s “oh I like it but he’s not smiling”  I ask them if they know what the most famous smile in the world is?   Of course the question stumps a few people…..   The Mona Lisa is famous because of her “non” smile!

Sometimes kids ham it up and just give you a expression that is priceless.Thank goodness I have a quick finger! 

Kids never criticize how many  wrinkles they have or make comment on how their thighs look.  They don’t know about photoshop or ask to take a few years off. They just want to see themselves, they accept themselves and if they don’t like it they will tell you!   I sometimes wish more of my adult clients could be like children 🙂
