I cannot stress enough the value of portraiture, particularly when it comes to children. They change so much in a rapid space of time from being a baby to becoming a toddler and ask any parent about the terrible two's :). What’s in a portrait you may ask? Well at a very basic level it's a representation of a person at a specific time in their lives. That's why it's so important to capture those moments when your children are at certain stages in their lives. One day they will be adults.
