for me : boston childrens photographer

This series of images almost never happened.  You see, I had a wonderful shoot with a family last week.  It’s been in the works for months.  We decided to push the shoot to the fall versus the summer and in the interim had to postpone because of rain.  I was really looking forward to working with them as they had a fabulous vintage truck we could use as a prop–something I have always wanted!  We decided that we would also use the beach by their home as a second location.  I had visions of it in my mind and indeed it all truly came to fruition.  But as we wrapped it up, with sand in my boots and in my hair, I realized that my favorite hat that I wanted her to wear had been forgotten.  Even though she was ready to call it a day, she obliged and let me spend another 5 minutes photographing her.  That’s all it took.  And it was magic.  In a split second decision to ask her to do it for me versus my indecisiveness–that jerky back and forth decision “should I, can I, will I”  and then not moving forward with something you know will rock you to your core???  This time I listened to my heart and did it.  And this is what happened.  Purely selfish on my part and I enjoyed every single minute.  It filled me up.   This is what shooting for me looks like.  So, listen to your heart.  Shoot for you.  Enjoy. xoxo  boston childrens photographer
