Photography

A photograph is more than just
A gift to bring or send.
And more than just the likeness of
A relative or friend.
It is a kindly greeting and
A memory to hold.
Of happy times and pleasant things.
However new or old.
It is a mirror that reflects
Companionship and cheer.
And now and then the wistfulness
That turns into a tear.
A photograph is something to
Adorn a desk or wall.
Or carry in a pocket and
Display to one and all.
It is a faithful portrait
The smile that friendship shares
To add its sunshine and to sho
That someone really cares.

Work style
Recently a potential customer asked me how I "work" with children. A little confused I asked them to explain what they were looking for. After finding out they wanted to know how I get good "heartprints" from kids who are scared or just flat out don't want any part of posing, I explained that my style is to try to start out with some fun, take some casual play shots, mix in a little posing and return back to FUN! It is so much easier to get a great smile from a youngster when we are playing and I'm not intimidating to them with a camera stuck in my face. Do I maybe miss some smiles, yes, probably so, but that's okay...everyone has had fun and I got plenty of others. Here's a photo from my personal collection to share with you. I'm awaiting new props and backgrounds and will post samples from our little models we will be using in a few weeks.
Isn't he just ADORABLE with his blankie???
