Capturing precious moments - Sophia

One of the things that I love about photographing children and families is how I'm capturing a specific time in their lives, a time all too soon gone that they will be able to revisit time and time again over many years to come through great portraits.  Though adults do not change significantly from year-to-year, children certainly do and they grow up so fast!  As a second-time-around mom with not only an adult daughter over 30 but also an 11-year-old son and a 10-year-old daughter, I all too well know how quickly they are all grown up!  

Earlier this month, I had the distinct pleasure of photographing the super adorable Sophia (age 7, first grade).  I remember each of my daughters at her age - full of joy, wonder, and personality!  Many children that I work with around this age, especially little girls, they follow direction very well and enjoy being models for the day.  

This slideshow of unedited proofs is only from the first set of shots that I took of Sophia during our session.  Her expressions are priceless!  Can you feel the joy, wonder, and personality that are Sophia when you look at these images?
