It’s been said that “the cobbler’s children have no shoes …” Not so for photographer’s kids. At least the little ones of my photographer friends. Their kids, like mine, are some of the most photographed children around. As a matter of fact, I’m trying really hard to get myself out from behind the lens and in front of it more often with my child. Looking through her first year album brought me to that revelation. But, although I snap, snap, snap away at her … and have done so since the day she was born, I’ve found I have to schedule the formal stuff (like 18 month pics) into my calendar just like I would any of my clients even though I’m the one capturing the moments … So much to my delight, despite a freezing Sunday morning and a toddler who moves at the speed of light these days with an even shorter attention span, my husband and I managed to capture some really wonderful images of our “Bella Bug” at 18 months. Below is a 10×20 collage I designed of some of my favorites from the session.
