Photographing Teenagers

As of late, it seems that many of my photoshoots involve teenagers.  Perhaps this is because my business is primarily word of mouth and I have three teens myself.  While it is true that this age group can challenge the photographer...they may be awkward, self-conscious, embarrassed and sometimes just uncooperative, they are more often than not, just a lot of fun.  

More than any other age group, what comes across really strongly when photographing teens is their sense of humour. Babies are beautiful and completely natural, young kids love to be silly, older people tend to be very posed, but the teens make me laugh.  As they grow from children into adults, their individuality shows through their humour...and it is a privilege to witness this transformation.
