I was treated to a session recently that just made my photographer heart overfilled with joy! I got to meet a new little friend at her home. Mom & Dad stayed back and just let her play with me …. I captured her tongue (a lot) …. captivated by a stick and her swing …. booty shakes …. climbing a tree … running in a field. See, mom & dad were just cool for me to capture my new little friend just as she was. Sure we got a beautiful smile just perfect for a Christmas Card or Grandma’s Wall …. but we also captured a whole lot of who she is right now in this very moment! As my children have aged, as I look back over my photos of them through the years … those are the ones that make me smile & remember …. far more than the perfect portrait. So next time we meet and your little ones are having much more fun just being silly with me remember ….. this is what you’ll want to look back at!
