He was playing one minute… and sleeping the next. Today… a day later I felt it was so precious and I HAD to share.
I often second guess myself on my everyday photos of my own child. (of course I think Mary is amazing, and I could never be as artistic as she) On top of that I always think my house isn’t picturesque – but whatever – Thankful to have a house. I took these and at first look I wasn’t sure they were “good enough”. Such a silly mess I am sometimes. Truth is, an everyday photo of your own child is precious… regardless of the composition, white balance, aperture, etc (including messy house). Clarity is a must… but the rest… BLAH! Maybe you don’t suffer from this “it MUST be perfect – or its not as good as so and sos pictures” ailment like I… but if you are like me – I wanted to let you know you aren’t alone! I am my own WORST critic of everything about me. I love the photos I take for my clients, but my everyday photos… are blah. When I look at photos of myself I look old, I look tired… I look wrinkled! Then I look at these photos a week later and think… wow that photo is awesome – and I look so young. (chuckle) Everyday, unplanned photos of my child from a week ago can bring tears to my eyes. So happy I take them despite my insecurities.

We have heard so many clients say their only photos of their child are on their iPhone. At least they have a photo to remember those moments. When it is a photo of your child it is perfection!
