Photographing a rite of passage! Kids loosing their front teeth!

Over the years of photographing kids, I have had a lot of clients come in to capture their children BEFORE they lose their teeth- trying to capture the last moments when their baby is growing into childhood. But I have this great client who has brought each of her kids in to capture the toothless grin, celebrating this time in their life. I LOVE it! 

 Everyone remembers that point in their life, where you were when it came out, how it happened- was it yanked, did it end up in the apple you bit into, was it attached to a string and slammed out in the door??? But  many of us don’t have the photos to document it. I love the toothless grin-and wanted to pass on the photos so people could enjoy them as well! I hope it starts a new trend so I can see more laughing toothless little kids in here- as for toothless adults-not quite the same:)
