The Innocence of Childhood

As I worked through the images of a recent session, I found myself continually reflecting on the innocence of children. How lucky are we to live in a society and culture that values the age of childhood? Childhood is supposed to be a time for joy, love, and fun. It is a time for children to be cuddled and protected by their parents. I think there cannot be too many hugs and kisses given when our children are young. The time of childhood passes quickly - we need to fully embrace the art of these moments. LIFE IS ART! Appreciate it to its fullest!

"Look Ma....No Teeth!"

I love this image! I love the big gap, no teeth and the pure joy on his face! I was reminded once again how quickly time passes, when my son lost his tooth a short time ago. Before we know it, the new one was growing in. And in one day, from morning till evening, I was shocked at how much that one tooth came in.

The time of "Lost Teeth" is so short. But I love this time so much, I have decided to introduce my "Look Ma...No Teeth" mini-sessions. These portrait sessions are 30 - 45 minutes long (about half the time of a regular session), and can include up to 2 children. The cost of the session is $50 and will include a set of 8 wallet portraits of the same image. I will also provide you with an on-line website link so that you can share these images with your family and friends. Go to http://www.gscphotography.com/ for more information on contacting me to arrange a "Look Ma...No Teeth" portrait session.

Here are a few more from that session. Enjoy!

The Communion Season Fast Approaches

While the Super Bowl just ended (yeah Steelers!), planning for Spring Events has already started. I love photographing communion sessions. The girls get to dress like a princess for a day, the boys look so handsome, and mom and dad are always so proud. Their little children are growing up!

I am starting to book communion portrait sessions. For those of you that call before April 1, 2009 and reserve your child's communion session, you will receive 25 custom-designed fine art cards (a value of $60).

This recent session was a lot of fun. Hope you enjoy. You can see more of my portrait images and information on portrait sessions on my website http://www.gscphotography.com/.

This one is "How much do you love your mom?" "This Much!!!!!"
