Week 10 - Two Year Old Beauty

0I have been in to photography for a while now and I would have to say that my favorite subject to photography are people -babies/toddlers to be specific. One of the biggest reasons was that they grow up so quickly. They rarely look the same from one photo opportunity to the next.

This week, I've invited my next door neighbor's little princess to take a shoot. I asked her mom if I could get some practice shoot and let her be my model. She gladly approved and to my excitement I immediately prepared my gadgets, set my improvised "home studio" then all the fun happened.

This little beauty loved playing and in fact she would come up to me to show all the toys. She was a challenge to photograph but I just loved that high energy. She was such a super model.

There were so many I wanted to share, but as for my two-picture blog rule.... these two were my favorites.

Photographing children is great fun, rewarding, sometimes frustrating and makes for a good aerobic workout, all at once.  For more of her, visit this link PEOPLE

  3. It’s amazing how much baby and child photography has changed when DSLR has been around. Good thing it's digital no need to pack a pile of rolled 35mm films. No more excuses not to shoot.

    I like the kid. Her eyes are full of excitement.
