Enchanted


It is true that the magic of childhood is for the most part intangible however, as a professional photographer and a mother I know that the perfect moment in time captured in a picture can tell a pretty grand tale of the enchantment.
What is it exactly that makes us swoon at the sight of a sleeping baby or melt when we feel the motion of uninhibited play and total freedom of being?
Do the eyes have it? It is a gesture? Or something about the context of the shot that makes it irresistible?
Even after all these years, and many clients later, I’m not sure I can put my finger on it exactly. I guess I just know it when I see it, just as I’m sure you do.
Share with us in a photo what kind of kid stuff stops your grown-up heart in reverie.

My boyfriend's son is a sweet boy. My youngest is 10 now, so I enjoy getting the chance to hang out with a little guy.
