"A Tea Party by a Giant Mossy Tree: A Timeless Moment of Childhood Magic"
I recently had the pleasure of photographing a children's fine art session that was truly magical. Under the shade of a grand oak tree, a little girl hosted a tea party with her favorite bear. The delicate porcelain cups, the tiny plates, and the soft whispers of the breeze through the leaves all created a timeless moment, perfect for capturing the innocence and wonder of childhood.
As the session unfolded, the scene became even more enchanting. The little girl lovingly gathered the bears and nestled them in a cart overflowing with vibrant, fragrant flowers. It was a moment that felt like stepping into a storybook.
While working on the images, one photograph stood out—a captivating shot where she gazed intently at something unseen. I remembered the baby deer I had photographed earlier that morning, a little fawn that plays in our yard. Adding the deer into the image transformed it into something truly special, capturing the magic of this age when imagination knows no bounds.
This is what I strive for in my fine art portraits of children—capturing the fleeting moments of wonder and innocence in a way that feels both timeless and magical.
