Portrait of a Baby

Kate and Georgina Photography

Yeah, yeah, yeah. You swear you’re going to take more pictures of your kids in 2008.

But by the end of the year, the only decent shots of your children will be those taken by your snap-happy mother-in-law (and even they’ll be questionable).

The solution: Kate and Georgina. The duo specializes in candid images that are like children themselves — spontaneous, funny, light, and colorful.

From first birthdays to ballet recitals to everyday mundane moments, Kate and Georgina capture the joy of childhood by putting their tiny subjects completely at ease.

And that’s a promise.
