The vast majority of your clients will say that the act of bringing a child into their lives has changed them more than nearly any other experience to date. Whether it is the overall story behind how their pregnancy progressed or the significance of their specific birth story, or how they found their way to adoption...and the actual moment they first saw their child is an incredibly significant experience.

Simply put, the accomplishment of bringing a child into your world is nearly as high drama as it gets.

So if you're photographing weddings and portraits, it is important to recognise that, in both situations, you're responsible for capturing this great drama.

At a wedding, it's just one day, but it's still all about relationships - about capturing the dynamics between people, the interactions and expressions, and the truly sincere emotion.

At a portrait session, we are also responsible for capturing this irreplaceable little spirit. And, of course, while photographing them, we are still expected to showcase the family in a way that is revealing, and different, and inspiring, and artful, and interesting. We are still responsebility for tapping into who our subjects are and capturing those same complex dynamics between the family that surrounds them.

And it's a responsibility that, especially when taken to heart, can really propel you to give your very best at every portrait session you shoot.
