27 Photos That Celebrate the Powerful Bond Between Children and Animals
Kids and animals on the same wavelength
Andrea Martin is a portrait photographer based in southern West Virginia who specializes in children’s and family photography, and she has a particular gift for capturing the connection between children and animals. Each of these photos depicts a moment of playfulness, curiosity, or mutual affection, highlighting the natural affinity and trust that can develop when kids have animals in their lives.
Anyone who grew up around animals will recognize the shared joy, protectiveness, and in the case of cats, exasperated tolerance (high praise from a cat) in the facial expressions that are captured in these delightful photos. A mother of four herself, Andrea also teaches workshops in West Virginia on creating and capturing a natural interaction between children and animals.
