Another toddler and another set of unique circumstances made this photo shoot very limited! However, it presented a couple of photos that captured the two-year olds glory!

Magic

Sometimes magic happens when least expected while photographing children, you just don't know what's going to happen.

In the above series of photos, I was able to capture this two-week old newborn in the process of waking up and all the different "faces" that go with that for a newborn.

Color Vs. Black and White

I often take photos and play with different color options. This way I can decide whether I like them better in color or black and white. Usually it's easy to choose, for one "pops" and the other doesn't.

Tristin

While I was photographing the other children that day, Tristin took off to be all boy. By the time it was his turn, he was just a little dirty and NOBODY had anything to clean him up with, so the end result was a black and white photo (makes the dirt less noticeable) of a boy in his true element and a lesson learned........ALWAYS carry baby-wipes for a quick clean up!!!

Logan

What to do with a child that doesn't like to smile, pose or co-operate..............stay patient, oh and tell him you can get forever capture his first missing tooth!

Location

I am always on the hunt for interesting settings for taking photos, but sometimes the scenery and setting are right there in front of me and I didn't even realize it.

In this photo the Mackinac Bridge and the water made this photo incredibly memorable. At the time I took it, I never who have guessed how beautiful or powerful this picture would have turned out.

Natural Light

I love to use natural light when taking pictures of children, especially black and white pictures. I feel that natural light, captures the beauty of a child better than any flash or artificial lighting can.

In this photo, I used only the sunlight coming in from the window and was very pleased with the results.
