In my last blog I featured some images of a young girl and promised to feature her sister in the next blog – well here I am.  Her parents adopted a beautiful baby some time ago.  I was honored to photograph her, now at the age of two.  As any two-year-old would be, she was very active and it was the usual challenge to draw out and capture her personality.  We pulled out all the stops and I was able to capture her in a fun way.  It took a while to get her to smile for me, but we pulled out a secret weapon; her older sister whom I talked about last blog.  She was very good at getting her baby sister to smile and you could tell there was a wonderful bond between the two.  While photographing active children can be tiring, it is also very rewarding.  I always enjoy looking through the images after downloading them to the computer.  They are never perfect because small children just do not hold a pose.  That of course makes it impossible to readjust the lights to suite the pose.  I try not to worry about that.  Capturing the moment is more important than the technical – although I do have a way of lighting that works in this instance.  This child turned out to have many faces and I think I came away from the portrait session having captured many of her varied expressions.
