cherish those everyday moments

One of my favorite things to do is bring my camera along on everyday moments and just capture my kids being themselves.  No posing, asking for smiles....just playing, capturing the shot and having a good-old time.

I'm often asked how I can do this and remain present - that is my #1 goal.  Different from a photoshoot, my kiddos are stuck with me, so I'm not shooting for an hour or more, but rather in very small doses literally a minute here and there and most often they don't even realize I'm taking pics.  

It's our thing and we all love it!  Mismatched outfits, dirt under the fingernails, messy hair....these are the moments I always want to cherish!
