If you fave my photos and don't have any of your own...I'm going to block you. If all your favorites are photos I don't want to see mine next to...I'm going to block you. If anything at all about your profile, photos or favorites makes me uncomfortable...I'm going to block you. I'm here to enjoy great portraits and hopefully get inspired. Maybe in turn, I'll be able to inspire somebody else.

Pat's commitment to and expertise at capturing the expressions, emotions, and exploits of children (especially her own) serves as a beacon for others attempting to do the same. She has been an inspiration to me (especially earlier in my photography "career" when I questioned whether I should be pursuing photography at all)...and you won't find a more helpful or unpretentious person with such a wry and wonderful sense of humor. Pat has shown me what a good photograph is and was the main influence regarding my decision to go the whole Canon DSLR route. I just hope I am lucky enough to meet her in person someday..:-).

Storyteller. Magic. Rich. Deep. I would instantly hang some of her stories up on my walls if I could. Her photos so move my imagination, I race to her stream as soon as I see she's posted something new. Her work is simply beautiful, original, technically strong and inspiring. Art. Thank you for sharing!!

Love her, love her, love her. She makes me smile. She makes pictures of children that are timeless and joyful. She sees into her subjects. When I look at her portraits I think of giggles, mud, and tons of amazing light. Thank you for being on flickr and being such an inspiration and a help to so many of us.

I'll just start by saying that Pat Fruen is the funniest person I've ever met. Besides being an amazing friend, Pat's a World Class Children's Portrait Artist! Pat's style is unique and consistant. She understands lighting and style better than most and can take any kid-any where and make ART---effortlessly!

Looking at a P.K photograph, you're at once drawn in to the eyes of the subject. She captures truth and honestly like nobody else I know. I've been watching P.K's work for quite a few years now on another website. I was thrilled to see she had finally joined Flickr! P. manages to shoot not only gorgeous images of children, but the souls of children, right down to the nitty gritty. She is a true inspiration and creative talent.
