Is this something on my end or are you posting them in a different way from time to time? For example, on Friday I could view all the photos on your site and today I can only see a white box with a red x in it.Just curious as I hate when I can't see your beautiful pictures!! Thanks!!

Every time I want to take a picture of them together, the big sister came running to me because she is curious about the camera in my hand. How do you solve this problem, Mera? Maybe it's easier if the photographer is "outsider"? I also have a two-years old and a baby.

It just makes it worse if you try and control the situation, then everyone gets stressed and its not fun. The best shots are when it is fun. I love taking pictures of my son. My most recent blog post is one he will probably kill me for, but kids are just so awesome to photograph I just love it. They bring me so much joy. Their innocense is beautiful and the fact that they are just so real. Does that make sense? Anyway, I will see you tomorrow night Me Ra, or at least I will be in the audience. So excited!!

Amazing what pictures can do for the mind. Those were beautiful pictures…I feel so peaceful and calm now after viewing the slideshow and hearing the music. Amazing what pictures can do for the mind.

I agree about letting kids be the leaders in the session. And reassuring is something I need to remember to do more of. I'm okay with the kids running and not sitting where I suggest because I know I'm still getting good shots, but sometimes the parents are really stressed about how it's going. If I remember to let them know that I've captured great moments, it helps them to relax and enjoy the session....and hopefully recommend me. :) Thanks for these tips.
