Stomping Ground Photo is taking on the world of ugly class portraits, and appears to be winning. No more will the photographer call us 'Princess' or 'Captain,' with our eyes one way and our chin the other.
Instead, snazzy shots of lightsaber-swinging, giggling and happy children abound--not posed, but allowing kids to be kids, in all their glory. Stomping Ground Photo is based out of Brooklyn, but operates in numerous cities throughout the US.
