Just Kidding . . .

So why is it that when you shoot a wedding, the kids in attendance always get more than their fair share of attention?  Well, besides the "cute" factor - an overwhelming advantage they have - there's the "genuine" factor.  Very little artifice - all real. 

These are random shots from a single wedding this winter. 

 

 Fromthe sleigh ride shots to the dance floor, it seemed like everywhere I turned
there was kid things happenings.

  

but I digress, back on the things that children seem to excel at - to start, light loves children.  It caresses them in ways that super models would die for.

Also, they are everywhere and nobody cares...almost anything they do is OK with everyone

and they don't worry about what's the "right thing" to do of course

they pay attention to the important stuff

of course, sometimes when I'm not even trying to photograph them, they get involved....

but one of my favorite things is they don't like to stay up late.
