Photog. Session {Children/Family} + What I've Learned
No need to adjust your screen! These girls are THAT adorable. I had the wonderful opportunity to capture their sweetheart faces this past week!
Their mommy also joined in on some. Their daddy is military and just came back from Korea but is stationed in Hawaii right now, where the family will meet back at soon!
What I have learned with children sessions..
You can't force poses. Children will do as they please and trying to make them pose, smile, or look a certain way will most likely just be a waste of time.
Plus, they won't be their natural selves. It makes a big difference in the end photograph. Anybody can tell whether a child has a forced or real smile.
And real smiles are soo much better!
So make the session fun, 'let them be little', and be prepared to run along with them :)
I'm still editing from this session, believe me this does not conclude the cuteness!

Abigail Brown
I recently discovered the beautiful work of British artist Abigail Brown and immediately fell in love. I absolutely adore the creatures she hand makes from scraps of fabric, both new and old.
Granddaughter of an incredibly talented seamstress, Abigail was handed a small bag of wonderful colourful scraps of fabrics by her grandmother when she was a child and her love of working with fabrics was born. Her work is inspired by her fascination with animals and each piece is hand stitched exquisitely with great attention to detail.
Her work has appeared in countless magazines and has been sold in Liberty's of London, Takashimaya in New York and Bensimon in Paris.
To see more of her beautiful work, check out her portfolio.
Happy Friday, sweets!
