My mom would always say 'Life's not perfect'...so yes mom I get it...BUT is it wrong to want it to be!!? 

I have to admit not every photo session goes as I plan it in my head.  Kids are not dolls and have their own personalities...WHAAATTT!!??.  I am not always as directive as I should be but is it weird to think a little chaos is fun :/  I often leave a session thinking of everything I could have done different...I am SLOOOWWWLLY learning from my mistakes but also walking away knowing I did the best I could and in the end we caught them being 'THEM'...their expressions, their 'perfect picture'...not mine.  When I see photos online I appreciate 'perfect photos' but even more I appreciate the not-so-perfect ones...cause those just might be perfect for that family!

Ultimately it's about my clients experience.  I want them to have fun, the kids to laugh, not to sit and think they have to paste a cheesy smile on their face the whole time.

Sometimes a crying photo just takes the cake!

And despite Miss Sienna's facial expression, we do have a special bond...she just doesn't know it yet! :)

Happy Friday!!
