I love how being around kids makes me look at the world in a different way. Their questions about the simplest things in life make me reconsider why things are the way they are, which is really refreshing and interesting. They’re joyful, positive and embody possibility for the future. It’s for all of these reasons that I truly love to photograph children. It’s, in many ways, much more challenging to photograph a child because most of the time they have their own ideas on how to pose and behave during a photo session. But, when you get a shot that is truly reflective of their growing personalities, it’s so great. I posted a Sneak Peek image last week of this session. Their aunt left me the most flattering comment I can ever hope to receive as a portrait photographer, especially as a kids portrait photographer: “You captured their relationship in one picture.”

The relationship between sisters is very dear to me as I have one sister who is my best friend. These girls already have such a great bond… I hope I was able to capture that and that I can continue to document their lives as they grow older.

She was a little unsure what she was supposed to do…

One of my favorites!
