I have 101 million shots of my girls and then my girls with their daddy, but I can probably count each year on one hand how many shots I have of myself on the flip side of the camera that I actually like.

There are those moments over the course of the day when one of them nuzzles into the crook of my neck or roars with laughter at a joke, that I know will not be funny in a few years and probably will roll eyes by the time the teens hit, and I wish someone was there to take a picture of us.  You know that moment; it’s the one you try to stage again…but it never works!

Those are the moments I attempt to create for you during a session. My goal is to take a love-soaked portrait that evokes a memory 10, 20 years down the road. I’m not really into perfection and perfect smiles at the camera. Sure I try to take one or two of those, but the ones that make my heart skip are the ones where I can hear the sound of giggles, where I can see the connection between your eyes.
