oh, man… Josh is getting so big, talking full sentences and complex thoughts, learned to swim last week when we were in Tahoe, and today he told me he had to potty four times, and he did. It was not just a ruse to get m&m’s, he really had to potty.
Why am I sharing this with the world on my blog?? Well, that’s just how I roll – I wear my heart on my sleeve, and it’s one of the things that makes me really good at my job of being a wedding and portrait photographer. As a photographer, you really need to connect with people in a short amount of time on a real and personal level! It has to be real… especially with children’s photography. They don’t care if you have the most expensive camera in the world or where you studied, or any of that. Can you get in there and connect with them and play with them? Then you’re the hero, you’re fun, and they have a good time.
So many times parents are stressed out because they have taken time off from work, paid a session fee, and gotten it together to get everyone to the session, and they really want it to go well. I can tell you hundreds of stories about families who have left the session feeling like their kids misbehaved, or didn’t cooperate, and so therefore their images probably won’t live up to their lofty expectations. Then they come, see their images, laugh, cry, and are amazed at what they are seeing – their family, not just what they look like, but who they are… Anyhow, I am so proud of Josh, so happy to get to photograph him, and everybody else’s families, and just wanted to share… Feeling all warm and fuzzy today :^)
