Photographing Children

Picture of contentment!

Today was one of those truly magical days where everything just seemed to work perfectly! It was a beautiful day and the easy drive to Warsash, Hampshire, to photograph two beautiful children, was a bonus!

Almost three years ago, I was privileged to be invited to photograph a new family. Abigail was just a few days old when we did her newborn portrait session, but within a few shots, she had stolen my heart with her smiles. I had the opportunity to photograph Abby again when she was a little over a year old and today I photographed her 5 week old sister for the first time.

Photographing children is something that is very close to my heart. Having never had children of my own, I think I approach each children’s photo session with an excitement, anticipation and curiosity that is unique to someone who has never lived with little ones 24/7. At times, I think that my diminutive  subjects and I are equally curious about one another!
