Its very rare (so rare, I can’t even think of an actual time) that I have walked away from a photo shoot and not feel satisfied after capturing children and their innocence. For me, in some ways they are easier than adults because they have nothing to hide if approached right. The trick is finding that sweet spot, that spot that will open up to a giggle, or a tender moment that can only be seen usually for a split second.

I remember photographing my own kids before they “loved” the camera… that was a bit tricky, especially for my oldest, who getting to smile was like pulling teeth… and after each shoot I would be left sweating as if I just ran a marathon, but I walked away with my reward… the reward of capturing that golden stage before the next growth occurs. Don’t miss out on this time, its too precious! Portraits by Shanti DuPrez / Children Portraits / Photographing Children / Half Moon Bay

I just wanted to thank you and Shannon so very much for making us feel like we had our friends their taking the pictures! You were very patient, especially when you first got there and none of us were ready and I was still sort of stressed from trying to finish the set up across the street! But after getting ready and starting to take pictures everything just fell into place. We had a number of people comment on Wow the photographer was everywhere. And you were.

We, Marty and I had almost as much fun as the kids did! The party/dancing didn’t end till I started blowing candles out at 1:30am!

Thank you very much for being professional and low key at the same time that worked for us perfectly!!

Cindy and Marty
