A Child's Face

As a mother of our beautiful daughter (who appears in our blogs frequently), I have experienced first hand how fleeting the moments are.  "They grow so fast" is a common phrase because it is so true!  And in our busy lives, how often can we simply sit and look at our child?  And even if we made the time, how often do they actually sit still?  Haaha.  

So as photographers and parents, we really value our opportunities to photograph children and babies to capture these moments in time.  Many studios can snap a shot of your child smiling, in a traditional pose.  We can get those also, and do capture that on a regular basis, but the art that really draws me is the close-enough-to-see-the-downy-hairs-only-children-have images.  I love the soft light, tight framing with our 105 on a black or neutral backdrop.  These images can be smiling or even simply thoughtful as children often are.  As long as the emotion is genuine, it's my favorite type of shot.  

We are pleased to be able to post some of these photographs captured during Colonial Nursery School's spring photography fundraiser.  We are donating 75% of the profits from this charity photography event back to the non-profit coop school.  Colonial is a wonderful place where the parents, teachers, and children work together to create an environment when all participants grow and learn together.  And we were happy to be a part of photographing their students.
