Fall Session

As an artist, I like to dream up ideas to photograph. As a photographer I like to explore different genres in the field, and as a mother it's always the challenge to execute the idea when it pertains to my toddler. I find the challenge excruciatingly painful at times, however each experience or failure lends its own lessons to be learned. Sometimes those failures become successes played out in contrast to my perceived vision, offering new experiences and skills learned.

This was definitely one of those shoots. Everything went wrong, but yet the end result was everything we needed. :)

My husband helped me do a mini-session, of my Daughter at a year and a half, which ended up lasting till sunset. What a wonderful opportunity and experience. It's sad to say, I don't often get to enjoy a sunset outdoors, let alone have the opportunity to photograph during one. With young children one learns to try to advance ones skills with expediency. Especially as they grow and no longer are content playing while you snap away.
