Children Photography at my Studio

Photographing children is fun for me.  How can it not be a great time!  Children are uninhibited and will quickly let you know what they do and don't like.  The three kids that showed up at  my studio, LJ Franklin Photography in New Richmond, Ohio arrived ready for their close ups.  All being 6 years old and under I knew their attention span would not last long.  Snacks and "run time" was allowed.

Just down the road was a place with tall grass and I asked the mother of the kids if it would be okay to go there to try some photographs of the kids running.  The two kids loved it and one of the images from that activity is attached below. 

The kids were great and their mom was so amenable to my suggested photographic locations.  Below are photographs of the children in a studio and in a few outdoor settings.  Too cute.

  

Acadian Flycatcher

As I sat looking over my garden contemplating what to do about the deer eating my flowers and the lily of the valleys taking over my garden I heard a thump against the house window.  I turned just in time to see a bird fall to the deck.  I found a dazed looking bird at the base of the window.  Quickly I tucked the bird into the folds of my shirt so it would be safe and warm.  I then went for my camera.  After a few minutes I could feel it moving about so I took it out and snapped a couple of images before it took off.   A beautiful Acadian Flycatcher.
