The Fails Are My Favorite

20120712-DSC_0064

There's a point every year where we all {and by "we all" I mean "me"} decide {and by "decide" I mean "I guilt trip and antagonize until everyone gives in"} it would be brilliant to get updated photos​ of the children we have with us.

Which usually ends up in the best kind of candid disaster.​

I keep fooling myself into thinking that as they get older, this task will become easier.​

I am, of course, an idiot. But I am ever just as happy to take on this task as many times as it's given to me.​

This year, 10 minutes of shooting time yielded over 200 photos, almost 70 of them were "good". That's an improvement I can get behind!​

Indeed, ​there be wardrobe malfunctions. Naturally.

I stopped shooting for "perfection" a long, long time ago, these loves of mine are amazing just as they are, and these pictures show their personalities wonderfully - to me, that's perfect enough.

Next year, my only goal is less bribery, more attention to pant zippers and shirt collars. ​

I think I'll be able to manage that.​

Those are so cute and fun to look at! I love just following the kids around and taking shot after shot just to see what comes of them later! They are usually the best as you said! :)
