Anticipation:)
I look forward EVERY YEAR to photographing this family with great excitement and anticipation...
Why?
Because I know that the "mom" and I are like-minded...she "sees" what I want to capture before I even know it myself sometimes...I have to do minimal directing, and I don't ever have to "get them" to be candid and playful...it just happens with them...they are natural...
What you see if what you get...their little princess always gives me the best expressions and their little guy always has me running:) I absolutely get giddy when I see that they are "up next" in my schedule of sessions in the fall...
This year, mommy had a bit of fun planned for afterwards...I'm thinking her tactics work marvelously well...
I think you'll agree:)
