Years ago I took photographs just to show that I’d been there, done that.  Once my kids were born, I realized that too much of childhood is fleeting. I knew it would be too easy to forget about those all too brief moments and stages of development if I didn’t find a way to record them.  I started experimenting with the camera to catch more of their personalities as they developed.

 

That’s what I’d like to do for you.  I want to capture those little moments when their personality really shines through.  I’ve found that following kids around in their own habitat or while out exploring something new is a great way to let their personality shine through.  No poses, just life.
