| Kid Stuff (or 'Mommy, I don't want
a shot!) Probably some of my best work, though to tell the truth I'm not quite sure why. I don't have any kids of my own and I don't really treat them much differently than I do anyone else, but I like them and they seem to like me. They're great subjects. Not only their beautiful features like smooth skin and silky hair, but their whole outlook on life! Kids are natural, spontaneous, overflowing with ideas, excited about new experiences and fascinated by the simplest things. Look at some of these photos where you see a little one just looking into the lens with no sense of self consciousness whatsoever and you'll see what I mean. All this, plus the enormous satisfaction I get from watching some of my young friends growing up year after year... first starting to walk and talk, then getting too big to toss up in the air or photograph nude anymore, starting school, on & on. The whole time growing and living and learning, and maybe holding on to some of that childlike innocence that was captured on film. I imagine them one day all grown up, graduating or getting married or with kids of their own, then looking back at the photos we did, thinking of me and smiling. That's cool. So even though I wouldn't want to photograph nothing but kids they keep me sharp, focused and tuned in and in shape crawling or running all around, and in the most fundamental sense of the word... they remind me what Beauty really is. Just remember not to use the word 'shots' for photos - always makes the little guys nervous for some reason ;') Photo Editors I have hundreds of great photos like these and permission from most of the parents to market them. Check out the kids in the Model section of the Portfolio too. Drop me a line and let me know what you're interested in. We're ready!!! |
