I have known this little girl since she was an infant. I always look so forward to seeing her and her mother. Mom is so creative…she is a photographer’s dream. She has a way of incorporating great props and they never look cheesey…she definitely has an eye! I just learned she was a fantastic gymnast!
Our last shoot was in intense heat this summer. It was stressful to say the least – two year olds and heat do not mix very well! With the help of grandma, we managed to pull out some nice images. Mom was hot but we all survived.
Fast forward to last week….now it was me who became stressed. All two year olds are busy…Sarah was as happy as could be but I could not keep her in one spot. I was wishing I had a remote clicker
(I may invest in one!) and was trying so hard to get those smiles. I put pressure on myself because I know mom drives a way to visit me and I wanted her to have some great images. By putting pressure on myself for smiles, I was overlooking what we did capture. It was not until I opened the files that I saw we got some great expressions from a very beautiful little girl. Some of these I would blow up big….I like them that much! Lesson learned….be openminded, have fun, and wait and see! Love you guys and enjoy!!
