The kid-friendly moments that make me smile

Kids are hilarious. I have met so many and they are absolutely the reason why I've committed to being behind the lens. I've heard from too many parents focused on reining in their kids for a photoshoot & that's not my style. Let's set them loose, watch them play, and see what we get. I've coaxed them out from behind parents' legs, I've watched them sob about not wanting to do anything in front of a camera, and I've watched them act out - and I've always gotten a keepsake photo. I promise the real stuff is what is worth framing - it's honest and it will make you smile most when you look at that print in 10 years. Take a look at some of my favorite silliness captures below.
