This post isn’t meant to get you down, or make you sad.  It’s meant to show you the real-life moments that happen.  Yes, I know you always get to see the best, and most happy, and most lovely of all the images I take.  Did ya think I’d show you the bad ones?  Of course not!  But I did want to share with you some super cute, and super sad faces I got from Kate this past weekend.

We went out on one of the hottest, most humid, most sunny afternoons.  And darn it, Kate wanted some milk!  And she wasn’t going to be persuaded otherwise!  We gave her yogurt bites, Skittles, funny dances, silly songs, and her mommy even gave her kisses…but she would have none of it!  She wasn’t going to smile until she got some milk.

I’m blogging this to show you that life may not always be smiles, and that’s okay.  We all want some milk once in a while and it’s alright not to smile until we get it.  So, go get what you are longing for and then smile.

Today I got to visit Baltimore, which I know barely anything about. I can usually count on my brother-in-law Bert to find awesome spots to photograph his family. My niece Mackinzie recently turned 3 and her mom asked if I’d take a couple of shots of her for this glorious occasion!

Okay now, my sister-in-law, Mackinzie’s mom, Laura, dresses her daughter so cute! These fuzzy boots she was wearing were adorable! These boots were so awesome that two total strangers walking behind us starting singing, “Apple bottom jeans…boots with the fur…” (if you know the song, you know it, if you don’t…sorry!).

Mackinzie is also a testament to how great a child can be for a few Skittles! Thanks Bert, Laura, and Kinzie for sharing your afternoon with me! Enjoy your preview!
