My Job......Catching Moments

I can't begin to tell you how much I love photographing kids. Yes, there is the unpredictability that you just have to 'go' with because if a child doesn't want their photos taken it's up to you to get it done. All while making it fun. And then there's the meltdowns that may possibly happen during a session to set things back a bit. Add in a few wardrobe changes and you've got a full session. But if you're prepared for all of this then photographing little people is a blast. With these two little ones we sailed through our session so flawlessly and they both made me laugh through it all. Big sister H was a perfect model for me and melted me soon into the session when she very quickly became my buddy. Hand-holding and all. :)
I'd love to tell you that this first photo is of Miss H and her baby sister loving each other while playing in the leaves. But I'd be lying. Pictures don't always tell the entire story. We encouraged H to go in for a hug but little L didn't want to have anything to do with it. Looks like L is trying to hug back. Nope.....just trying to get away! And where was I.....positioned to capture the 'picture-perfect' moment.
