Seven Ages of Children

Page 3 of 4

- AGE 2 -

Around the second birthday, a major milestone is achieved.

The toddler now responds to reason, humor, and action. Totally unpredictable, but always adorable ... expect them to be loveable, shy, rowdy, or reserved - as they begin to explore the world around them ... here one minute and gone the next!

- AGE 3 -

Still toddlers, most three-year-olds have discovered how to entertain themselves.

The world of toddlers is filled with portrait opportunities that capture the mystery and fantasy that are so much a part of these joyful days of discovery and make-believe that fade so soon.

- AGE 4 TO 5 -

One of the cutest, most engaging ages for little boys and girls, the ability to speak and reason grow stronger every day.

Searching for their place in the world, they have already developed personal interests, likes and dislikes. Their individuality of character and action should be portrayed before the baby teeth are lost and replaced by permanent ones ... forever altering the endearing look of early childhood.

- AGE 6 TO 8 -

During this period, the snaggly-tooth age ends and permanent teeth emerge to change the facial contours.

A developing mind reveals a more mature, inquiring look. Now off to school and making their way in the world... There is so much to learn! Portraits made at this age help to confirm a child's positive self image.
