I love photographing people.  I love to interact with children and hear their stories.  I meet many fascinating people through my work and I will always gravitate to photographing family dynamics. But I also have a BIG love for animals. They are just as much part of our families but usually they don't get to be the solo star in a photo shoot.  That's why I love these studio sessions with animals. They don't get timid in front of the camera or complain about bad hair days.  They do what they do and are who they are.  The best reward for me is one of them falling asleep during the session.  It's a sign of content and comfort. Aside from the cuteness of them, it teaches me patience and grabbing the "moment" when it presents itself. I have to be quick on my trigger and ready to use my vocals in new, interesting ways I didn't know I could. These four kittens were 7 weeks at the time of these photos.  Fragile like newborn babies but active like toddlers they kept me on my toes. Nothing different from shooting toddlers.  You just go with the flow!
