Our children may annoy us and make us go crazy thanks to what they do whether it is inside the home or outside it, but we cannot deny that they also change our life and make us happy. Only those who do not have children can feel and appreciate the importance of kids in this life. There are a few happy moments that we live with our children but unfortunately these moments quickly disappear and we of course forget them over the years to finally find that we do not remember anything about the past and what is left in our minds about the special moments that we lived with our children is almost nothing.
So we have to resort to the camera for recording every special moment we live with our young children.

What do you think of these Unique photographers?
Are there any other professional child photographers whom you know?
Jake Olsen is an awful awful human being. He takes good photos but that is it. He is rude and condescending
Magdalena Berny-The pictures are beautiful .But in the fotos shown-where are the children? I see only angel looking girls photos, as if preparing a catalogue for future-to be manequins and models.
Maybe do some research on Jake Olson first. Horrible person.
Someone needs to remove Jake Olson after his horrible comments. Please delete him off this list!

Hi Mark, just a bit curious as to why you think these people are vile, ……………not at all judging, just interested to have more insight to them as photographers and if it was their approach? I have met a few photographers in the past who do great work but are awful to work with!
