Social Investment Photography | Antigua, West Indies | Orange County Wedding and Portrait Photographer

I know I’ve been absent for a while, but I’ve been busy getting the last few photo albums done for a client (and nesting at 4am!) before this baby pops. I actually went to the ER last night and, while the OB thought I could walk around and accelerate labor enough to have the baby that night, this little girl isn’t quite ripe enough yet (36 weeks), so my other option was to go home and rest to see whether the contractions would dissipate. I’m at home working, so you can guess that the latter option worked out for the time being!

Here are a few sneak peeks from this client’s project. The aim of the photo project was to show the heart and soul of this elementary school, whose population is made of poor children from the neighborhood, in order to raise some needed funds for their educational materials and for a capital/building project. Having shot portraits around the world, I realize that each culture is different and people react to cameras in different ways, so I wasn’t sure what to expect in this country. But these kids LOVED the camera and you can see how much the school cares for them through their interactions with their teachers and staff. You show love and love is reflected back – it totally shows in their eyes!
