I love my job
a lot
capturing families together
stopping time for a few moments
creating a moment to remember
witnessing laughter
firsts
and lasts
and all the inbetween
real life
the good
and the bad
being real
helping people feel comfortable in their own skin
playing games with kids
tricking them
bribery
passion
laughter
But, too often, I fail to capture my own family
My wrist hurts from shooting other people all weekend
Its not a great backdrop
the rental is ugly
the lighthing is wrong
its mid day
there will be distractions in back ground
when would I have time to edit them anyway?
I need to get paid clients their photos
and then I take a deep breathe
count to 10
and remember how much I love photos
I love my family
they love photos
and they don't care if there are color casts from the slip in slide on their face
so, I went for it yesterday
bad, mid-day lighting, blown out areas, and all
I have to say
as a mom
I love these photos
alot
