Words fail me when it comes to speaking of the connection and joy presence with children. There is only now, and when you join them in the now the possibilities are endless. These sweet siblings have been an muse of mine since they were bumps in their mamas belly. Our session, a timeless afternoon wandering ancient botanical trails spoke to all our hearts. Such moments remind me of the constant fluidity of life, passing time, fleeting motherhood, and a reminder to cherish the perfection of imperfection. Children just don't lie, in fact they are brutally honest, and I have never worked with one who was not a little sad to see me go! As important as the session and artistic creative documentation is to me, the relationship with my littlest clients always comes first. I hope to, one session at a time, show children everywhere that "real honest photography" is fun, and requires only one thing.... BE YOURSELF!
These are simply beautiful... you captured the innocence and perfection of Amy and John's children. I was just telling my dad that kids often behave better than adults in many situations but we just fail to notice it.

Thank you so very much Stacey! I adore capturing the innocence and bliss of childhood through each unique individual. The kiddos are so loving and fun, it was a joy photographing them.
