Julia

Photobucket

Julia was a photographer's dream of a client! She was enthusiastic, cooperative, clever and full of different emotions that came across in the images. Never mind that hair! Amazing hair!

Julia also had a camera, yet when she took a picture her camera spoke about Fairies...Nikon eat your heart out!

When I asked Julia if she would like to sit on a rock and take some portraits she replied yes, not my usual answer! Like a true professional she turned toward the camera, tilted her head and offered me her sweet playful smile. Behind me I heard the laugh of a shocked mother, saying-"this can't be my child"

I love when kids offer their serious side. I feel we live in a society where we are always trying to get people to smile in photographs. Interestingly in Kenya, they refuse to smile in portraits, the exact opposite! I guess I like it because it shows another dimension of kids. Kids do have serious sides, they are thinkers and as parents out there know for sure, they are complex.

These ducks at 103rd on the west side of Central Park are amazing! For many photo shoots now they show up right on time and always add fun for the kids. I am very grateful ducks, keep up the great work!

I had to add this shot because it just cracks me up, and shows another side of Julia! This is the kind of image you can look at when you are having one of those adult bad days and just start laughing..and then get over it!

Thanks Julia!!
