It’s that time of year when all thoughts and energy go into thinking about getting organized and starting the year off feeling oh so good and ready for whatever life brings yours way.  So while I was cleaning up my computer,  I was reminiscing through last year’s photos and videos and thought I just have to share this sweet little video I made for one of my favorite families last fall.

I created the video to show the family…especially mom what a challenge at times a photographer has to capture that perfect family photo.  While you take a moment to watch this video keep in mind that all of these images were  pretty much taken one after another. This was a quick 30 minute fall mini photo session.  Here’s a 2 minute video of giggles!!  These photos are straight out of the camera!

When I presented it to mom…she laughed and smiled while watching it and told me that I captured all those looks she sees but never gets…that made me smile.

A note to remember, while you are photographing don’t look for the perfect smiles each shot…take many…these are the moments we all want to cherish.  Enjoy!!  I hope it puts a smile of your face too!
