Child Photography
Child photography is where you capture one of the precious, priceless and treasured children while they interact with siblings,
parents, grand parents and other significant individuals in their lives. Are you are one of those children whose parents and
grandparents cared greatly for you, taught you important things they knew, shared their treasured memories and traditions with
you? Perhaps they even shared their photographs of days gone by. They may even have photographed you and your siblings as you played.
Photography, and especially child photography, allows you to capture those special clothes and outfits your mother or grandmother
spent long hours sewing for you to wear. Did they lovingly knit that special hat or sweater for you? Did your parents teach you how
to ride your first two wheel bike, or share a special activity like a ride on a tractor on the farm they grew up on, or perhaps a
ride in Mom's airplane? Were some of those moments captured through child photography? What special things did they do for you, and
how do you remember them? Some treasured photographs, faded pieces of paper with early handwriting or papers with drawings on them?
Child photography is most effective for special events. For example, did you get a chance to go back to the school of your parents
childhood, and did they tell you those stories that only they knew, and of the feelings that went with them? Did your Grandpa or Dad
teach you how to drive? Or did they take you fishing? Did you like the peacefulness and quiet between you? Did you feel connected to
your family in a very deep and special way? How do you remember those times today? Did someone use child photography to capture some
of those moments?
Child photography is about all of these things. Today, or someday, you may have the blessing of beautiful children of your own, or
grandchildren that give you the opportunity to create within them that sense of love that you knew as a child. This knowledge of
feeling very safe and secure, and helping them to know that they are the most special little people in the entire world, is very
important. Because, to you they are! And you want them to know it! And you need to capture those memories through digital child photography.!
Whether you are a parent or grandparent, Real Kids Photography was created to help families who care deeply for their children capture and
preserve those memories through child photography. We try to capture the unique expressions of love between children who know that they are
loved, and those who love them so very much.
Child photography requires our photographers be specially trained and motivated to uncover those special "looks" and "quirks" that define the
individuality of each child, and how they interact with those adults who are so very special in their lives. Every effort is made to photograph
the natural interaction of children and parents, children and siblings, children and grandparents - photographing those special moments of their
lives that are so brief and fleeting, yet remain in our memories until the last days.
Child photography, to be really good, requires a great deal of physical labor. For example, the child photographer needs to get down to the same level
as the child. This might mean being flat on the floor, on bended knee, or perhaps even on their back! It takes patience, and many (hundreds, even)
photographs to get one or two which capture those special looks. Child photography is not for the squeamish, and requires incredible concentration
and awareness of the surroundings to accomplish the goal of a very special photograph.
If you are interested in child photography, then explore my portfolio on this web site and see some of those looks I have been speaking about. In
addition, I have taken photographs of many children doing special things, and with their parent s permission have created art on canvas which captures
those special images. Take a moment and look at "Little Boy Walkin The Tracks"
and "Kids Playing On The Beach" Child Photography.
