Tanya Giles-Hilder: Storybook Child Portraits

This week’s inspiration comes from Photographer of the week Tanya Giles-Hilder.

When our son was diagnosed with Autism, he gave me the gift of photography. He opened up a whole new world for me, one I never knew existed. Now I feel a little bit like Alice; I’ve fallen into a Wonderland that is beautiful, exciting and crazy all at the same time…..child photographer, how does it get better than that? Says Tanya
