In a million years you would have never convinced me that when I was ‘grown’ I would be a professional baby photographer. I mean, I knew people had their babies photographed professionally, but it seemed so rare that one could actually make a living doing such. Certainly, I would guess in the last 10 years or so, baby photography, in particular, newborn baby photography has really boomed. I would guess it’s because of the boom of digital photography, but surely it’s a combination of many variables. Who knows exactly.
Never the less, here I am photographing babies, children and families. It’s almost like a dream. I’m not sure what I enjoy more…taking the photographs or seeing the results in the photos themselves. When I’m at a session, it’s so much fun, but I guess part of that is knowing what the final result will be. It is so rewarding, this job. I mean, it is what it is…a job. I’m not running a charity here. HA! The term ‘job’ often times has a negative connotation. Not sure why. You should see it’s full definition here. But rest assured that in these moments I don’t see it as negative at all. It’s more like a gift of opportunity that has been given to me for a time. I can only hope that for many, many years to come I will still be able to offer families lasting memories in pictures professionally.
For now, I just enjoy each session to the fullest….soaking in getting to know each family and watch their children grow. It’s such a wonderful thing.
This family and little guy were no exception. <3 I so loved his swirly hair, his very big feet, long toes and beautiful skin.
