One of the first things I learned about photographing one’s children is that it is good to be sure to always dress them in clothing that is good for photography. This means no words or pictures on shirts, as those will detract from portraiture. As a homeschooling parent, I go a bit farther: when photographing one’s children studying, always be sure to dress them in clothing that matches their math book.

Iris and I take a short stroll in some nearby woods.
