As parents we think we will remember lots of moments of our kids’ growing up.
From my experience, we don’t. Not enough, in any case (thinking of the two tall teenagers at home…). And that’s natural. Because we are so busy as parents, trying to juggle it all.
The magic is in the everyday. The small, unpolished stories, the in-between moments. Capturing those moments through photography is what I would like to offer at Little Mo.
In other words, I created Little Mo to help us jog our memories and give our future selves something valuable to enjoy and look back on.
STORYTELLING APPROACH
Taking photographs of your child means being there for your child. To play, to listen, to be quiet, to be loud, to be funny, to be serious, to draw, to read or play hide and seek. I am chiming in with what your child loves doing.
And this is when the magic happens.
The camera is just there, a part of the play, but not the main character. That is your child, the hero/ine of his/her own story.
It does not matter whether your child is a late or early walker, whether he is shy or she is bold. Your child is unique and wonderful and does not need to do anything or be anyone else than him/herself.
The little things and what seem to be insignificant moments are often the most powerful later on. I look for and capture these little things for you to remember forever.
Natural images, as raw and real as can be. Playful, explorative and encouraging. This is how I like to approach taking photographs of your child..
