She got a Baby Sister, and a Baby Cousin, two weeks apart!
But that doesn't mean any of them were particularly happy about it!
But isn't that how life is sometimes? Sometimes the images that I think people will want to see just for a laugh (like the one above of all three girls crying) are the ones they love the most. The image above shows how hectic and overwhelming 3 kids under the age of 3 can be. But I'm guessing they wouldn't have it any other way. This was one of the prints they ordered. Because they wanted to remember how the kids were, not how they looked when they acted perfect and smiled for the camera. I think sometimes we forget that kids are not perfect. They don't always smile. Heck, they don't always grin. Getting pictures of my kids smiling is like trying to find flying monkeys.
But photography to me isn't just about smiles, and perfect hair, and the perfect outfit. This image isn't perfect. Nobody is really looking at the camera. Mom is almost choking little "Tommy". Little "Tommy" has one eye closed. Mom's eyes are closed, and Dad forgot to take off the sunglasses. The dogs are insane. But this is them!
For me, photography is all about capturing life as it happens. And when I manage to capture a funny, sad, real-life moment, that's what makes me smile!
