Commercial: Joyful
I find children the most interesting subject to photograph. Their innocence and raw emotions are the ones that I try to chase. The challenge is to look for that comfort zone. Unlike adults, children could easily run away from the camera, cover their faces with their chubby hands and say, “I don’t like!”
The secret is be a KID. Act like one! Talk like one. I wore a yellow Mickey Mouse shirt when I did this shoot for a diaper brand that will launch really soon. And it takes a lot of patience to get that money shot. I’m no expert, but I try to improve every time I do shoots with kids.
Sharing some of my faves.

Warming up.
Still warming up. It takes time. Seriously!
Big sister, Simone, pitched in. Beautiful child!
fine series, I really like your pictures and (almost) get the feeling you used film ?? Do you ever ?
Hi Bella.. i do shoot film but not for weddings/commercial purposes. I just recently got hooked, but with the photos the film effect is what i am trying to achieve.. wan’t it to be timeless, imperfect, and faded.. you know what i mean?
Thank you for visiting.
Oh my gosh! These photos are SO, SO BEAUTIFUL!!!
thank you liz…
