Give them images that make me say: “MAN, I wish I had a shot like that of my kids.”
Simple, really.
And editing this session with boy/girl twins (who do not belong to me) I found this. And as a mom of boy/girl twins similar in age, I don’t have to have been the photographer to know that there was a split second opportunity to get this quiet moment.

I like it. Do our clients ever say “Man I wish I had that shot of my kids!” when they see shots of YOUR kids?
Maybe…who knows? I would like to think that I inspire people to go off and photograph their lives as best they can AND invest in the work of pro photographers they admire.
Typo. I meant to ask do your clients, not our clients. I have no kids, so I’e never had that feeling. I think “MAN, I wish I’d shot that!” a lot though.
I say “Man! I wish I had that shot of MY kids!” when I see your photos… and I don’t even HAVE kids!
Yep, gorgeous. I wanna shot like that of my kids, or kids that look like that in shots!
Ditto what Heather said!
Rachel this is just beautiful!!! What I love is that you’ve managed to capture a side to my kids that I haven’t. So excited to see the rest! x
Working on them, Fi Mims I kinda went a bit overboard and there are, um, lots! This weekend is all you and conference photos!!! Then I am caught up!!!!!
And Fi I think that it is awesome that you get family photos done because as I see when Peta (or Jen) takes photos of my kids, they ALWAYS get sides of them I am yet to capture in my images!!!!
Yay – we have lots of wall space I’ve been waiting to fill. And I know you are super busy, we will wait patiently …
I think oh man these are memories I want to keep forever. What a gorgeous pic!!
Urgh this is GORGEOUS! I want a pic like this!
breathtaking portrait!
