Thanks to these kiddos (and their parents), I began taking children's portraits almost 1.5 years ago. It has been a joy photographing their ventures. At first, children's portraiture was very difficult for me, as I was not used to using people in my work. However, I have found my "flavor" in coupling strong natural elements with children. At times, nature becomes just as much, if not more, of the subject than the kids themselves.
