"I love to photograph kids (of all ages). Their smiles and expressions are so natural, and they're completely uninhibited when they're being photographed."
Favorite photos: One of a bride dancing with her young son. She scooped him up in her arms, he wrapped his arms around her neck and the love and emotion just radiated. "I still get a lump in my throat when I look at that photo," Newbold says.
