Childrens  Portraiture

Children are so much fun to photograph, oh of course we want the cute smiles for the camera but  as a lifestyle photographer I strive to document them interacting with the world and each other. I like to get the sweet seconds between the smiles and allowing them the freedom to explore their surroundings. I feel that is when we really see the essence of our children.

​Pausing to listen to an airplane in the sky, stooping to watch a ladybug on a plant, sitting on a rock to watch the waves crash over the quayside — children have their own agendas and timescales. As they find out more about their world and their place in it, they work hard not to let adults hurry them. We need to hear their voices. ~Cathy Nutbrown
