Intimate bonding between an individual parent and child is a vital part of early development. It’s rare that these moments are captured on film. However. In photographer Christopher Ryan’s “Parent and Child Intimacy” series, we see these glimpses of joyful, fun moments in a spirit of unity between a parent and child.
