When I went to UT a few weeks ago to photograph Timmy and his family we had a ton of fun out on the field. At one point as we were moving about, Timmy grabbed my hand, looked up at me and said “Where’s the BAND?!” Totally made me smile.

And this photo, I’m pretty sure it is the only one Timmy cared about that day. As we were taking shots on the 50 yard line, a helicopter flew over us.

I have to be on my toes a lot, and I know many photographers and moms know the feeling. But guess what? PCS, it’s not just for photographers kids, its for their friends too. Tis true. Exhibit A: Lily, Taryn’s BFF. I first photographed her at 18 months old and since then, well, she’s kind of gotten over me and my camera shanigans. My old die hard tricks don’t even crack the surface. And with their family session coming up soon, I wracked my brain thinking […]
