It's been about eleven months to the day since I last photographed this family (I try to avoid names when posting about young children). What a change in this adorable little boy, the biggest of course being that he moves. Non-stop. Which is always the case with one-year olds. In my opinion there's really only one way to photograph a child this active and that's to chase! I took many action photos and still managed to capture some of the whole family together.

With portraits I really work with the mindset that these are works of art for each family. With mostly everyone owning a digital camera now and filling their computers and online with snapshots I'm hoping to produce something that should exist off the screen with some timelessness and permanence. As with other photographs on this blog, below are some samples of how I can create art from raw photos.
