the sibling bond

I'm not sure how many times I need to post about my 7 - almost 8- year old's lack of appreciation for me capturing her life in pictures.

i mean, really...i would think that somewhere inside of her she'd get that I was just trying to preserve some memories of her precious childhood so that when she's older she'll have have some photos to remember her glory days. right?

so, when I started to take pictures of the girls for valentines day cards, and this was the first one I got, I was more than a tad irritated, because really, can't she just throw me a bone and smile??? maybe show her little sister some love on the most important love day of the year???





so, this time I decided i was not going to play her little reindeer games. i decided to just go with it and let them do their thing and not worry about the 'perfect shot'. this is what i tell my clients, so i figured i should follow my own advice.

after we put some tuneage on the iPod, they started to relax and have fun.

and lo and behold....look who is smiling, and even showed her sister some serious love.



the long road
