“When children pretend, they’re using their imaginations to move beyond the bounds of reality. A stick can be a magic wand. A sock can be a puppet. A small child can be a superhero.” Fred Rogers

“Of all the needs (there are none imaginary) a lonely child has, the one that must be satisfied, if there is going to be hope and a hope of wholeness, is the unshaken need for an unshakable God.” -Maya Angelou

Children’s “Informal” Shoot

Riz Crescini — Mon, 09 Apr 2012 08:01:38 +0000

As people where leaving church after the Easter service and lunch, my family was one of the last ones to leave. My youngest had just taken a short nap inside the church and being the photographer that I am, I decided to just take a few shots of my kids and my friends’ kids. Well, I was delighted with what I captured.

CAUTION: There is a lot of cuteness in this post. And I mean a lot! This is not for the faint of heart. I repeat: it is not for the faint of heart! Proceed with caution….and oh yeah: enjoy!!

Spring is here. The cherry blossoms are late this year but they are just around the corner. And when that happens, this beautiful lady will be my model during a spring shoot project. The images below are from a short shoot we did at the end of last year. Enjoy!

Photo Shoot with Hazuki: Kitakyushu, Japan

Riz Crescini — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 07:10:20 +0000

My friend, Hazuki, used to live in Kitakyushu but due to her husband’s job transfer, she and her family moved up north. Hazuki and her daughter were back in town last weekend for a quick visit. Shortly before their departure, I had a chance to do a photo shoot at her request. She is a yoga instructor and has started a small business. She naturally wanted profile pictures for her blog/website and that’s where I come in. Hazuki was great to work with and I believe the images we captured that day reflect her fun and engaging personality. I am sure that future clients that visit her site will notice this right away. Happy viewing, everyone!!

We found this empty park with beautiful fall leaves and decided to do a couple "yoga" images.

Before their train departure, we found one more location and came away with beautiful portraits of Hazuki.

Here are some behind-the-scene shots of Hazuki with her cute daughter.
