We had the honor of photographing Amy and Bill's growing family whose beginnings we witnessed at their wedding. Ian is now much taller (still a goofball!), and Finn has come into the world - what a soulful little guy. This session reminded me that capturing the spirit of children is all about being present with them and just letting them be who they are. This often means letting go of my "ideas" about what photographs I want to take and, instead, telling myself to just remain in the moment. I love being happily surprised by what comes out of the camera in the end, and it reinforces my belief that simpler is usually better when it comes to truthful portraiture.
