Innocence of a child

I love photographing the children. Especially portraits.
They have this very special essence, which is hard to find in grownups.

It seems like "real photographers" consider child photography not a very serious form of art, as something too cute like puppies, sunsets and flower macros.

I do not agree :)

We were at a birthday party today, when I met this wonderful little girl. She glanced at me shyly, eat her cake in silence, then rushed to the playground. There was something so special about her. Her mother told me, that she had arrived in a fancy dress, but in two minutes she took it off- as it was not very comfortable to climb the hights in a dress. Difficulties of being a woman, I often feel the same, yet have not had the courage to through away my high heels :P

I have had a week as s single mom (my husband went to work in a another city) and I survived. It was not so difficult as I had imagined. Tomorrow we head all together to Viljandi and spend a week there. I have no idea, when shall I get time to blip as there is no internet yet.
