I guess that as adults we forget that kids see the world as a different place. But when you photograph kids for a living you get to go back down there again and see how beautiful the world is at a level you forgot all about.
Our favourite field had suddenly come alive with beautiful fall Asters and Goldenrod so when Gran Maggie and Mom Stephanie brought Cohen in to celebrate his first birthday we knew just the place to go. It’s become a bit of a family tradition to photograph the kids at this age. Sister Mia who is now 5 had her photos done at just the same age so Stephanie and Maggie were keen to make sure Cohen didn’t miss out.
What a fun afternoon. We got the most enjoyment watching Mia picking the flowers in the field and looking after Cohen while Cohen was just as content sitting watching the grasses blowing in the wind. The world must be a wonderful place when you’re a 1 year old.
Just for a bit of variety we took some shots down by the river and in our Cambridge studio and it was in the studio that Mia really came into her own. She jumped and danced making our job so easy. But she never forgot it was Cohen’s day and she sat patiently by while Cohen was dressed in a cute little miniature hockey outfit.
The kids worked so well together it was a real pleasure. I guess to Cohen it was just another exciting day but now he has some amazing images which the family can share with him to help remember the days when he saw the world from a very different angle
