Innocence & Authenticity

by Epic Mom on February 22, 2012

This morning as I watched my toddlers, I was moved to capture them on film. Life moves so fast and kids grow up so quickly that I am challenging myself to photograph my babies at least once a week for the next while. I want to soak up every nuance of who they are, (tired, smiling, sleepy, silly, cranky, jumping for joy).   I want to capture them as they are - their innocence and authenticity.  Using the medium of photography, I ultimately want this series to be a love letter to my precious children.

Char, your kids are so beautiful! It’s so important to capture those moments. I just wish it was easy for me to take my son’s picture these days. It’s not like how it was when he was a little chubby baby, not moving around so much. haha.

Thanks Lindsay! The only way I could capture those moments with my kids was because they had just woken up and were still a little sleepy. Once they’re fully awake, they run around like little energizer bunnies, especially JD!-)

I love the quality of these images. They have a timeless look to them. I don’t know what you did in post processing, but it is well done.

Thank you so much! Hubby just saw the first shot of our daughter and was marvelling about how the picture looks like a childhood picture of his grandmother. I’m really excited to keep discovering my kids through a more focused lens!
