photographers and their children

Most people assume that photographer’s have beautiful pictures of their families plastered all over their walls. Although this is true for some, it’s not true for me. In my perfect world my girls would always be up for a photo session but that’s just not the case. Most of the time they run when they see me going for my camera, can’t say that I blame them. I mean really, what 8, 4 & 2 year old do you know that likes to stand still and follow directions. When I finally do get them to agree I’m always meet by an eye roll and constant complaining…so I take what I can get.
The following photos were taken in 2 days- they're never all good at one time. With all the complaining, running away, whining, are you done yet, I get a ton of really bad shots. But then there comes a moment when they aren’t fighting me and they are just being my sweet little girls and I’m able to capture it…for that I am grateful.
