The weather was sweltering, and the air was filled with swarms of gnats. Yet, when the client requests holiday photos to capture precious moments with her little family, you must set aside distractions and focus on the task... I also enjoy a good challenge. This family was an absolute delight to photograph! The scorching heat and buzzing gnats couldn't dampen our spirits. We were on a mission to capture the perfect holiday memories, and nothing was going to stand in our way.


We had to work fast because this little guy moved quickly! He was like a tiny whirlwind, darting from one spot to the next with boundless energy. Capturing his fleeting moments of stillness was a test of agility and patience. I was determined to get him to smile or laugh and was willing to do anything to get that out of him—running, jumping, running backward, stomping leaves...you name it, I did it.


This little one was a tough nut to crack. No matter how many funny faces or silly dances I performed, he remained adorably serious. But hey, I love a good challenge. With persistence, a dash of creativity, and a whole lot of running around, we finally broke through. That moment when he cracked a smile or let out a giggle? Pure gold. In the end, we got some wonderful photos that this family can cherish forever. Each shot is a testament to the fun and joy we experienced during the shoot. Despite the heat and gnats, we captured the essence of this little family’s love and happiness.


So, here’s to embracing challenges, battling gnats, and capturing those fleeting moments of joy. If you’re looking to create lasting memories with your family, don’t let a little heat or a few pesky insects stand in your way. And if you need someone who’s willing to stomp on leaves and run backward to get that perfect shot, you know who to call. Congratulations to this lovely family—your holiday photos turned out fantastic!
