Easter came and went and I was so exhausted from the soccer tournement -I didn’t take many pictures – Sometimes even I just don’t feel like being a photographer – I know…. lets see that Shock Face. I have learned through out this journey – that it is ok to not capture every single moment – because guess what … as much as we want it to – we just can’t freeze time – bummer right??
That is not to say that I didn’t drink my coffee and videotape the kids enthusiasm for Easter morning… Enthusiasm that, mind you, started at the very crack of dawn. Guess what else I have learned over the last few years… Man – photography doesn’t have to be artistic every single time. It doesn’t need to be perfect every single time. This is my story – their story… our story.. in all of its imperfect glory – crooked horizon lines and all.
And lets just think about it…just for a second…all the very best artists didn’t have 1000’s of hits – they had only a few hits and probably handfuls of misses. So there is that and thus the burden of perfection is released and I am now free to embrace the misses with perhaps a couple of hits thrown into the mix.

Probably seems like a silly photo to you… but while we sat and waited for Lunch to you – I watched as Hayden was Suttons shadow on the playground. He is such a protector of her…and I just love watching him… watch her.
And sometimes.. even if I am not shooting to be an artistic – sometimes a little fake sky is needed to add a little umph…totally looks fake.. But I still like it – so there!
