Ask any photographer about taking pictures of children. It can be an extremely challenging task. Now, think of compounding this frustration by adding autism or cerebral palsy to the formula. This is an assignment that many photographers would rather not undertake. Realizing this, parents of children with special needs often do not even attempt to have professional portraits made of their disabled offspring. Other parents express their frustration, because they are forever hoping for—but not getting—a picture that will bring out the true “spirit” of their very special son or daughter

Tracy Besek has recently completed training offered by Special Kids Photography of America (SKPA), a nationwide nonprofit organization. This unique instruction helps make the photographer’s interaction with the child easier and the parents a lot happier with the results.

Here’s Our slideshow of Kathleen’s full studio session.  Enjoy!

We had our Fordson High School senior rep out for her on-location session.  It was a gorgeous morning, and not a lot of humidity.  That did change later in the day, but the important thing was that it was gorgeous in the morning.

We hit up Starbucks on Michigan Ave, and the condo complex behind it as well as Ford Field in Dearborn.  It was just as much fun as her studio session. Kathleen is such a natural in front of the camera.

Here’s your sneak peek!

Here’s Clint’s Slideshow from the first two parts of his session. We still have a couple other mini sessions to complete his series. I enjoyed both sessions very much. Clint is a well rounded young man. He was a pleasure to photograph, and I can’t wait to finish up in the next couple weeks with the remainder of his shoots.
The outdoor portion was taken at Greenfield Village in Dearborn, MI, and the piano portion was taken at Evola Music in Canton, MI.
Enjoy!

Here is the complete slide show of Kayla’s studio session. Kayla is our first Student Rep this year. Keep looking here for when her outdoor session is posted. I am excited about those as well.
Without further ado….
