Mom vs. Photographer
As a mom I know the feeling of wanting just the right family photo and wanting at least one photo with smiles. As a photographer I know the reality... sometimes it doesn’t happen on command. Some of the most beautiful photos can be those capturing a moment without anyone looking at the camera. However, I find myself torn with wanting those smiley photos and also wanting those candid in the moment photos of my family. You just never know what you will get. Last fall, my husband snapped a few of my son and I together. Needless to say, Nixon is not a smile-on-command type of kiddo... But this photographing mama still loves him.
It is important to relax and just enjoy the moment for whatever it may bring. See more photos on my personal blog: The Diary of a Dame.

The three-year-old window.
When working with a three year old…there is always a window…if you blink…it’s over.
This is Chloe…she is a spunky three-year old who loves the camera and I LOVED taking photos of her last November.
We started strong…she posed…trying to put her foot up against the wall (adorable) and was what we say in Spanish- Pura modela (pure model) Note: I am in Colombia right now so my mind is thinking Spanish.
Once the window of time was up...we knew it was time to change it up.
It was uncomfortably cold for the poor little Nena (once again…Spanish on the brain) So, we had to pull out the good old bag of tricks…TICKLE MONSTER.
Play into her “DOGGY GAME”
“Don’t you dare give me a smile”- REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY...
Then through the viewfinder I saw this look. Her face in this last photo is telling me everything… it was time…the window was gone.
