Child portraiture shoot in San Francisco – Sammy

These are pictures of the gorgeous Sammy from a shoot in San Francisco. Boy was I tired after this shoot! So much energy! I can’t believe I captured her sitting still – most of the shoot was spent running. It’s funny how sometimes a shoot will start with definite image ideas in mind – and even though not one of those came to fruition – we still love these images. My best advice to ‘still’ a toddler – give them a lollypop ;-)

Child portraiture shoot – Karen, Cian and Leah

This is the lovely Karen, her younger brother Cian, and little sister, Leah. Thanks Ronan and Ikuyo for letting me photograph your delightful (and very active!) children.

Children’s portraiture is a new venture for me, and is certainly hard work!! However, very rewarding and worth the results. Kids are kids, and there’s pretty much no controlling them, especially at this age ;-) They are charming and natural in front of the camera, with no heirs and graces, and I’m definitely looking to do more.
