sneak peek from this mornings family session...

If you haven't been outside today, you should go NOW. It feels amazing. The sun is shining...all is right...

I had a morning family session that was close enough to my house, that I decided to walk. It was a lovely walk, despite carrying my gear (I hadn't really worked that into my equation).

After this morning, I've decided that 2 to 3 year olds might be my favorite age to photograph. They are fiercely independent & don't really want to do what you ask of them, but that's what is so wonderful about photographing them. They are genuine. Their smiles, or lack thereof, are true. You know exactly how they feel at any given moment. You just have to ride the wave...

Sometimes there is magic & other times...less magic. But there is always truth and that is a lovely thing.
