I would consider my business very specialized. 90%+ of my work is kids in the 4-10 bracket. And I absolutely adore it… I love the challenge, I love the silliness, I love the play, I love the unexpectedness, I really do just love that age group. Every once in a while though I get to shoot the older set and, I have to say, having a subject that does exactly what you ask for as long as you ask it is pretty darn amazing! On my most recent visit to Dallas I got to hang out with a small group and shoot these two lovely models. I came home thinking that perhaps my speciality should add a few years ;)

Kelsey Gerhard: These are "tastic!" as my 3 yr old would say. I LOVE the colors. And it's funny as I've shot a few teens lately and you pretty much just typed exactly what I've been thinking! (06.28.2011 01:11am)
Sara from L.A.: I get absolutely giddy when I see that you have posted something new. Always fresh. Always new. Never the same. Always inspiring. Love stopping to see what you've come up with next. xo P.S. based on your advice from the Oakley workshop, my 85mm f1.2 comes tomorrow and I can't wait to practice, practice, practice!

zalaine: Coolness does seem to fit you, very nicely. There is Something right before they have their senior photos taking, where they WANT to be see in adult eyes, that being grown up is light years away but still moving in that direction. Cool changes and looks different as we pass throught the seasons of life but this innocence is only available for a few years. Great work Miss S! (06.28.2011 04:19pm)
