Capturing sweet moments

A large portion of my readership is moms. So, if you're a mom, you can probably relate to the fact that 90 % of the pictures you have of your child do not include you. You're usually the one behind the lens.

I've got some very, very special photos of Kaylee and I that we had professionally done when Kaylee was a month old, and they are some of the best photos I have of the two of us. As she's grown, I've just wished I had more pictures of just Kaylee and I that would really capture our bond.

Now, I've got that.

This past week we had the chance to meet up with a dear friend of mine who also happens to be an absolutely phenomenal photographer. If you've been with me for a while, you may remember me writing about Jen.

Kaylee was rather fussy through the majority of our photo shoot, and I was so bummed because I didn't think there'd be many pictures of her smiling and being herself. Poor thing was just a major cranky butt.

I remember Jen saying, "Sera? Is this stressing you out?" And I told her how I was worried we might not get many good pictures of Kaylee. (I later went on to suggest to Jen that she start carrying Xanax in her camera bag to hand out to the moms during her photo shoots - I assured her that we wouldn't mind paying a wee bit extra for these black market drugs...)

She assured me we'd get plenty of good ones, and boy, oh, boy, was she ever right.

Right before she snapped this one, Kaylee was crying and carrying on and throwing a big huge fit. For a couple moments in time, she quieted down while I tried to put an end to her shenanigans. This is just such a tender moment, and I think this may very well be my favorite picture from the whole session. And, does she not have some mad photo editing skills or what?!?!










This is another one I'm just totally loving. I can practically hear Kaylee's quiet little giggles that accompany this sweet smile.










Head over to http://www.fausetphotography.blogspot.com to check out some more of our little family, and be sure to leave a comment for Jen telling her how freakin' AWESOME she is. :) If we get 25 comments we get a free photo from her. Woo hoo!
