Children

Who knew photographing energetic children could be so fun....and so challenging! This is my three-year old great niece, Mila. She knew when a camera was pointed her way...and she would usually flee in the opposite direction. I lucked out with this shot, catching her unguarded expression while her mom called to her.

  4. Love the cute dimples! And, you know, the majority of people never seem to grow out of that "fight or flee" mode when it comes to pointing a camera in their direction. *sigh*

  5. She's going to break a lot of hearts down the road! Unless she grows up like my niece who thinks the sun revolves around her, but I digress.....

    Great shot of the relative!

  6. She is a little cutie and the natural pose is perfect. I also like that you caught her against a nice neutral background - great contrast for the bright top.

  7. When the subject is looking away from the camera it adds some mistery to the shot. Nicely done!

  8. "Unguarded" is the best way to photograph kids. Great job!

  11. I envy you, being a male I have to just soak up thier energy from the distance. I find hearing childrens laughter to be more refreshing than standing under a waterfall on a stifelling day!
