Jessi Brancatti
I’m a professional photographer, located in Córdoba, Argentina. I’ve been photographing for over 7 years. After being a professional Newborn photographer for years, I decided to shoot outdoors and I love it! I really love nature, my passion for children, nature and animals is my great source of inspiration to capture and freeze unique moments for eternity. I enjoy planning every detail to create a beautiful atmosphere and telling stories through my photos. My main goal is to learn every day something new to improve. Welcome to my world!
Ewa Burns
We are the sum of all our experiences. I believe the photographer can capture a split second in time that can cross barriers and boundaries that bind people together and touch in each of us what is human. Photography is my luxury. It is one of the way of my self-development, the feeling of satisfaction, the motivation to the wide spectrum of activity. It consumes all my free time, and even the time that I already do not have. Born in Cracow, I have an immutable and unchangeable Polish soul. I have wondered the world searching for windmills that led me on my never-ending Quixotic quest for beauty, meaning and humanness. My personal reality is that I am tethered to four children who keep me down to earth every time I want to fly.
Alisa Stigter
I'm Alisa, owner of Wishes and Wonder Photography. I have always loved photography, but that love grew even more when my girls were born. As they grew older, I wanted to bring their imaginative world to life. From photographing special moments of play, to creating magical scenes, I was able to do just that.

Photography and post-production have become an integral part of my life. Thank you for recognizing my work, it's a sign that I'm going in the right direction and motivates me to keep working and creating.

Watching the colors of the leaves change, the magic of falling snow, raindrops on ferns, and moss covered trees are always an inspiration with the magic of the seasonal changes . I truly love photographing primarily children bringing my creative ideas and a part of myself through them, and keeping that inner child and magic alive. It truly is a wonderful gift being able to create and share lifetime memories.

Nadia Colin
My name is Nadia Colin. As a wife, mother, and children's fine art photographer in Louisiana, USA, I often find myself searching, obsessing, with the details of both life and photography. Before this, I traveled to the most romantic and desired places on earth while working as a graphic designer on cruise ships. During this time, the world itself was my canvas. Traveling to places like Rome or Venice has trained my eye to see the beauty that constantly surrounds us. The way light filters through trees, waterfalls in fields of grass, or the magnificent complexity found in even the simplest flower. Beauty is everywhere in nature, if you look closely enough. These experiences shaped my way of looking at things, and having a family has shaped me even more. Now, it's an absolute joy to combine my love of nature, art, and family to capture a moment in someone's life, a fleeting moment, frozen forever.

Magical Childhood Photography Awards – November 2021
Photo of November 2021 and first place belongs to:
Racheli Hared
I'm Racheli Hared, photographer from Israel
Love children, they challenge me and take me out of me .
I started shooting and holding a camera almost 3 year including the quarantine and learned how to use it from the guiding book
I had an issue with myself. And it is that my past expiration just gave me a feeling of failure.
I wanted to prove so hard to myself, that I'm valuable.
So I started my way quietly with no one knowing (even not my hubby) I was afraid some words or anything would break me and bother me to build my dream and that's how I created this image.
This image was created on the blue hour with light on the back and on the front of her and giving the mystery I needed for this.
It proves it all and it means a lot to me.
Second place ex aequo belongs to:
TOMASZ STANKIEWICZ from Portretove Love
My name is Tomek, I was born in 1969 in Warsaw, where I live and create to the present. A chemist and computer scientist by profession, but I have always been interested in arts and crafts. First, metalwork that turned into a passion for jewelry and now also photography, which occupies the first place in my life.
My first adventure with a photo camera started a few years ago as I traveled through far away lands and places on earth, while looking for minerals, precious, and semi-precious gemstones for my jewelry. I was touched by nature’s amazing mineral creations as well as the environments they were found in, stopped in time, their colors, smells, distinct atmosphere, and culture. I wanted to immortalize them. I and my adventures soon gained two four-legged friends of the Alaskan Malamute breed: Princess Soraya and Malakwa Creek Sikko. Watching their behavior and admiring landscapes while taking their walks was a wonderful experience, especially when coupled with the photo camera and taking photos. The magic of photography captured me completely at that time but shortly, I faced another challenge: taking photos to exhibit his art. In mid-2015, I began to seriously think about professional photography. I took photography classes, gained knowledge from online courses, started scheduling photo sessions, and taking many photos. I currently strive to widen my horizons and abilities, continually challenging myself, by always setting and achieving new goals. "Because Life is Beautiful" is my motto.

He is having a good time, and I only capture these moments and in such natural photography I feel best as a photographer.

Hi! My name is Marcin Błoch, I live in Poland in Rojów. My adventure with photography began about 10 years ago, when I fell in love with photographing insects. I devoted literally every free moment to it. In 2014, my son Wojtek was born, and since then I have also started to capture his growing up. With time, other children started to appear in front of my lens, and I quickly realized that I would like this to be my job. In 2018, I gave up macro photography and focused only on photographing kids. In photography, I love to play with light and paint enchanted pictures with the help of nature touched by the sun. 5 months ago our second son, Leon, was born and as soon as he starts to sit on his own, you will see him in my portfolio together with Wojtek. My beloved wife, Natalia supports me. Together we look for places to take photos and often come up with some nice ideas. I am very happy that my photo came here. I have always dreamed about photos in the heather, but only now I managed to find the perfect place ? Wojtek loves the forest, mushrooms and walks, so when I suggested photos in the heather, he did not hesitate for a long time, and additionally beautiful light appeared.
Photographer of September 2021:
Lucas Rodrigues Dutra
My name is Lucas Rodrigues, I'm a photographer for the LUCCA Group, I work with artistic and advertising photography in Brazil, in the context of children.

I bring a more beautiful and enchanting result when I think in an artistic and poetic way how to work these records, thinking with the manipulation, colors, lights and shadows to generate true masterpieces, this is the world I built, a world of enchantments.

Hi everyone. My name is Callie and I live in a little village in Lincolnshire.

Photography has always been a passion of mine but once my daughter was born 3 years ago it really gave me the confidence to take more photos. She has been my main model but for the past year I have started using my camera on others. So so nerve wrecking but I'm glad I pushed myself.

Third Place:
Sylwia Glazer
Hi, my name is Sylwia Glazer, I live in Sieradz.
The adventure with photography began some time ago, with nature photography. Recently my passion turned into work and it turned out that I love it even more.
The artistic world has always had a big influence on me. The world of painting, sculpture or photography stops time for me.
Portrait, conceptual or staged photography can take me into a different world of emotions and the magic I want to show happens in my head.
Recently, I have also run individual workshops for photographers and I am honored to be chosen and I can communicate how beautiful photography can be and what can inspire. How to look at the light, colors and rhythm in a photo and how to create this world and what happens in my heart when I allow myself to be fully creative.
There are a lot of things that inspire me and I want to tell about it with my photography.
Photographer of August 2021:
Aleksandra Uzdrzychowska
My name is Aleksandra and I come from Poland. I live in a small town near Opole. Photography has always been my great passion, but it was limited to photos taken with a smartphone or in gusts with a camera with a built-in lens, in addition to automatic settings. Despite this, I always heard that I have an eye. A year ago, I decided to transform my passion into something more. I started from scratch, learning how to use the camera. After that, everything happened very quickly. Apparently, photography was for me, because it suddenly turned out that all my obsessions, which make my everyday life so difficult, work perfectly in the world of photography. I know that there is still a long way ahead of me, but I set out on it with a smile on my face, excitement, how great adventure awaits me and gratitude, because the camera not only became my third eye, but opened the other two for me. Thank you very much for the award, it is a great foundation for me and motivation for further work and development.

Magical Childhood Photography Awards – July 2021
Photo of July 2021 and first place belongs to:
Anna Jurczak
My name is Ana and I'm from Poland . Photography is my passion:)
Winner pic came out just without any plan. I was with my family in the countryside, and just decided to take some pics of our cornfield. The model was my little cousin Aleksander
I will show more pics from this photo session on my fanpage soon
Second place:
Leanne Livingstone
My name is Leanne and I'm the face behind LL Photography.
My passion for photography sparked at only 17 years old when I was given my first 35mm film camera. It was a way to express myself and helped me gain the confidence I have today.
I love everything about photography, the families, taking the images, the post editing process and the looks on families faces when they see their images for the first time after they are edited. Makes my heart happy!
I specialise in FINE ART PORTRAITURE, photographing Newborns, Child portraits, Sitters, Maternity, Family, Mama & Me, Cake Smash and Dog Portrait sessions.
I love my art to tell a story and to evoke emotion.
'Nature is a tool to get children to experience not just the wider world, but themselves..' unknown
I LOVE Fine Art Outdoor children’s Portraits! I love creating memories of children and photographing their unique characteristics in nature. I believe all children need to be explore the world in their own way. I love to capture Children being themselves.
I live in Bonnie Scotland within the Sutherland Part of the Highlands...and yes it is that beautiful! I'm so blessed to be where I am.
This image was a natural shot. If a child is a bit shy I will let them be themselves and follow them with my camera to capture their unique little selves. Such a perfect little model. I’m sure her parents will treasure this memory for years to come.
Thank you so much for choosing my image..I never expected to get that many votes...my best yet! I am so humbled and so grateful for the feature.
Thanks again Magical Childhood Photography
Third Place:
Laura Lazar
I am Laura Lazar, wife and mother of two beautiful boys, currently based in Germany! In the last two years I've been learning, practicing by myself and loving photography so much that I even made a small photo studio in my home! This way I can be closer to my family, they are my everyday inspiration :). This picture that won in July means a lot, because it was my first " real " session in my own little studio! I love photographing in natural light, I love neutral and natural colours, I collect and use in my pictures lots of old/ vintage things, I like to connect with families, to capture emotions, real laughter and also tears.
Photographer of July 2021:
Marta Grochowska
Hello everyone. My name is Marta and I live in Poland. I always had a very big passion for photography and all kinds of art. For a long time I admired beautiful pictures transformed by photoshop into magical images. So in october 2021 I decided to try to do it myself. Friendship with camera and photoshop wasn't easy at the beginning, but I was constantly learning and practicing to be better and better. My first and main model is my 3 years old daughter Maja. I love the moments when she explores the world, discover new places. We always have so much fun during sessions. Recently I started making photos for others. I love the moment when they look at the photos for the first time and when they are surprised how ordinary places change after editing. What inspires me? In the first place my daughter, but also everything around me - nature, music, dreams, memories, movies .... Thanks everyone for the award, it is a great honor for me. It gives me big wings to go forward.
