The only light source for this portrait was coming from the fireplace. My family and I have been enjoying a well deserved break. Take time to enjoy the season.

Into the future.

I like the expressions on the kids faces.

The most wonderful time of the year.

Soft natural light can't be beat in making portraits. Without the distractions of flashes / studio lights. One can concentrate on the subject. My daughter enjoys having her picture taken. I enjoy taking them. She is growing up right before my eyes. The days are long but the years are short.

Anticipation

The twenty five days before Christmas are my favorite. Getting the Christmas tree. Going to parties. Wrapping simple presents. Sitting and being thankful for the meaning of the season. Enjoying the wonder shown on a child's face. Slow down and enjoy the season.

See the change

Our children grow up fast. Of course we don't realize it. The days are long and tiring. But before you know it. The years are flying by. This is why I am passionate about child portraiture. When I hear a client say, "You captured my child's personality in that picture", is rewarding to me.
