Here are some outtakes from the most recent shoot…

I actually find the challenge of working with kids loosens up my shooting style – working with non-professional kids this young (the oldest being 4), there isn’t a lot of direction they’ll take, nor do you have their attention for very long – so it forces you to capture more candid moments and to move around with the kids.  It also allows me to be more playful, which is always something I appreciate.
