The Yoshikawas

Three energetic Yoshikawas. Ages from 2-11. They were wonderful fun little (and not so little) guys (used this word in a non-gender form...heh). Kids are so amusing to me, they get silly, cranky, then silly again in a matter of minutes. My goal for this session is to capture the 3 children's personalities. We played, we talked, we laughed while I snapped away. It was not even "work"! I love my "job" :)

It helps to have 2 little boys of my own. My boys "train" me to interact with other kids...and most of all, more patience. The one main ingredient in photographing children is patience (yes, you all know that!) .

Posing kids generally is a no-no for me. In my opinion, it is those "in-between" moments that make great pictures. I was there for 1.5 hr and we didn't spend a minute posing. You see them playing/posing around, it was ALL THEM!!! It was all their ideas!

Thanks guys for playing with me for an hour and a half!
