I’m convinced that photographing children requires 3x’s the amount of sugar that they themselves consume. I recently photographed my friend’s family of which the children were ages were both sub 5yrs old. I’m still working on the photos so I can only share a few unedited ones.
This photo shows one of the many attempts to corral the kids into a family portrait.
I’m pretty sure it doesn’t matter who’s kid it is, they are going to be hard to handle come nap time (which is about the time we ended up doing the shoot), bad timing.
Of course sometimes you nail a great shot that just leaves you giggling and it just shows the children as they really are.
I’ll share the edited ones when they are done of course.
I’m now convinced that taking photos of children at play is the best way to get a great shot.
Take this set for example, I just whipped out my camera at my nieces birthday party that was at a local gymnastics center. I had no intention of taking photos but the colors at the place were so vibrant I couldn’t resist.
I'm not the princess you think I am
I'm stuck, seriously..
They Call Him George

To be fair, I have had the time to crop and bump up some colors on these photos since I used them for my final project (last minute idea). Now if I can keep my interest up in photography whenever the new semester starts I’ll be heading in the right direction. Sometimes school just takes over all my free time and I can’t make room for the really fun stuff.
Till the next blog, comment away..
