The best thing on earth is children. nothing compares to the unconditional love and delight we feel when we experience a child's love.
The most precious gift I will ever receive was the gift of my daughters and step-daughters. When taking portraits of children I try to capture the expressions, features and personalities that I try to capture when I take pictures of my own. So I can remember how much joy I felt at that precious stage of my child's life. When taking a picture, what's important is how it makes you feel. When I am tasked with capturing the sweet essence of a child's personality I try to take pictures that will evoke those deep, squishy, loving feelings we feel when we look at our children.
