Claire is almost 7 and I must say, this is such a fun age to photograph! (* parents take note! :)) I’ve photographed her since she was a toddler and each session is easier and more enjoyable, for everyone. I like to include kids in the ideas for poses and have them help me find spots they like, to keep them engaged in the process and accurately capture their personality.
And I just love cute little baby teeth and we caught hers just before they start falling out. And I’m so glad her parents jumped in for this shoot, so they have some great family photos too.
Isn’t Claire incredibly photogenic?! And props to mom for a great choice on Claire’s classic, flattering and subtly patriotic outfit! A couple reasons I like it: it has layers, texture, just enough pattern to be interesting but not busy, a flattering color and interesting neckline for close up shots, sleeves to make tight cropping look better and reduce the amount of skin (to keep the focus on her face) and a long enough skirt to easily sit.
