the challenges of child photography...

ok so i have just recently began taking pictures of kids. and man oh man is it a challenge... some are busy bodies... like this little girl paige. she would much rather play and stay busy than have her picture taken. and although it may seem like i am not getting the job done, after looking at how precious these are... it all seems ok.

and then there are those that will just look into the camera blankly... as if to say i hate you and please get that huge thing out of my face. thus bringing you mia. she was a friend of paige's and came to say hi. paige wanted to play and mia, well she just wanted a cookie... (i have learned bribes work pretty well with kids! meet mia...

i am hoping to get a nack for all of this soon... it is challenging, but you can't have a better subject than a child... they are adorable, unpredictable and pretty much the pictures can be a bust or breath-taking.
