Hey everybody!
When I'm doing a shoot, I never finish until I know I have THE shot. After I get that feeling down in my soul, I can keep shooting, and maybe take a few risks, knowing that I'm good with the shoot regardless. When I was shooting the Woods family recently (you probably remember Mariah from the blog half a dozen times), I kept getting sweet shots of the family (which I'll share soon) and kept getting that good soul feeling, but the final frame of this shoot... after I captured it, I knew that was the perfect moment and the perfect shot. When I got home to my computer I downloaded and looked at the image and fell in love with it all over again.
As a dad of a 10 year old daughter, the thing that gives me the most joy in life is seeing her love her baby sister. Maybe that's one of the reasons this image means so much to me.
Talk to you soon,
Dale
