Photos with a Heart

We took our two month old daughter to the studio for a “professional” photo, when the photos came my husband and I weren’t happy with them. Something was missing that I can’t quite point my finger to. Maybe it’s the cold artificial background or controlled space or total lack of character that bothered me. The photos weren’t taken with the heart. That was the last studio photo session and until this day I haven’t had the urge to take my daughter back to a studio. I wanted photos of her in the natural setting with the activity she was busy with at that time. This is how I want to remember her childhood and our young family days. When I look at the photos now, priceless memories put a smile on my face. Taking photos outdoors come with a challenge, the lighting and the weather has to cooperate. These are just some of my favorite photos I have taken.
