THE SHOTS
FAMILY AND KIDS
Shooting pictures of a family with children can be fun and adventurous if you allow everything to unfold natu-
rally. It can also be one of the most dicult shoots to do well, because people’s insecurities can come out when
they’re in front of a camera. I’ve found it best to allow the pictures to come to me with very little direction. When
shooting the picture of this mother with her son, I allowed them the freedom to be themselves—to smile and
laugh—so I could capture them in their world, not mine.
