Todays Pick : A Favorite Photo

In my minds-eyes  I was going over recent shoots within the last month or so, deciding what to choose for “Today’s Pick” …  I thought about the weddings, the seniors, the portraits, the babies, the sport teams, the professional headshots ….  then I thought about yesterday, while shooting senior photos of Ryan, he asked “What is your favorite photo that you’ve ever taken”  … I stood there for a moment thinking this is an easy question.  I blurt out… a photo I shot of my niece that ‘almost’ made the cover of the Professional Photographers Magazine (okay ~ well, again in my eyes it almost did, of over 5000 entries, it did make it to the under 40 round)… then, I said “wait” there was a recent photo of a bride & groom that I absolutely love” … then I said “wait”  I’m in the mist of editing a senior, and there is this one photo that I just love…   I realized just then, I couldn’t pick ‘one’ favorite photo.  On the drive home I thought to myself, “wait” my favorite photo is the one that makes me smile.  The one that touches the heart.  The one that brings joy to my clients.  The one that mean nothing to anyone but me.    The one when I hear ”oh wow, that’s my son, my daughter… that’s him”  … That is my favorite photo!

I couldn’t help smiling as I remember the morning I spent with Jeffery and Gracie and their parents at Round Hill Farm. When I got their email requesting another session with the location idea, I jumped at it. There is nothing more special than documenting parents with their little ones as they interact, have fun and build memories. I envy moments like this…  This is “a favorite photo” 

How special would it be to have a twin…

To see the world through the eyes of a 2 year old…

memories that just bring a smile.
