I HAVE been trying to do better about getting my own girls out for formal portraits… I have.  But, when I discovered this spot for my recent mini-sessions, I knew I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to add my girls on to the end of my afternoon line-up.  Can I tell you how glad I was?  As a parent, it’s hard sometimes to keep up with the energy of our young children.  So much so, that we don’t appreciate these times as much as we should.  This is part of the reason I love photography.  It’s not about capturing that perfect “cheese” smile.  It’s about capturing life unfiltered.. your children… how they are… who they are… their giggles… their silliness.  So, here they are… unfiltered.  <3 <3 <3
