When Kristin Farnsworth was in high school, she took every art class imaginable to escape the perils of P.E. Whether it was the group calisthenics, the countless dodgeball sessions, or just the smelly locker room that she was trying to avoid, parents around the country are grateful that she chose art over gym. Now a gifted artist, Farnsworth's child portraiture is at once striking, and at second glance thoughtful and innovative. And who needs gym class anyway when your job is photographing children, especially newborns. Capturing that perfect moment when the expression, the lighting, and the scene form the type of synergy that make up a distinctive image can be difficult when you also have to consider whether the child has had his nap time, if he needs his favorite toy, and, for the really little ones, whether he's been properly burped or needs to be changed-one could even call it a workout.
