My Confessions...

Let me mention something special about my wife. She absolutely loves to photograph young children. If you have known her or have watched her work with toddlers, you would instantly see there is something the young kids naturally gravitate to. Maybe it's her infectious smile, maybe it's the fact that she grew up in a daycare.  When parents would drop off kids for the first time... Dawn was quick to distract kids and make them forget those fearful feelings of being in a new situation..  This is a life skill that is critical for us working in this age group, and I don't have this skill but more importantly, our competition never will.  Dawn often interacts with the kids while I shoot.  This is not just my work or her work, this is a tag team effort of her life skill and mine.
