Speed Racer

In the years since I started my small photography business, I pretty much have focused on event photography. On a much smaller scale I have done headshots for companies and even shoot NASCAR for commercial sponsors.
One area in which I would have to say I have a lot of experience by default is children photography. Heck, for 18 years I literally took tens of thousands of photographs of my 2 boys. Likely, to the point of which they would be happy if they never had to see another camera again.
Recently though, I've scheduled a few sessions scheduled with kids. Although not completely unique, I choose to shoot children in what I feel is an friendly atmosphere for both them and I. Usually a park or their own backyard, playing with the things that are familiar to them.
An added benefit beyond that fact that you have a kid that's not screaming while you try and force him into a pose is that natural light because the primary light with a reflector or flash filling in areas when needed. Most people agree that we all, even children, look our best in this type of lighting.
Personally, I'm finding that the reward is pretty great when looking at the end result. Of course the look on the faces of the parents is even better.
