Lessons for a Photographer:

DO NOT GIVE UP was one of the first lessons I learned as a photographer.  You might see someone’s images and believe they just walked up to the family, and BOOM…great photos.

But, that is almost never true.  Even if I’ve worked with a family before, I haven’t seem them for a year, so it takes a little time.

Be patient.

If you’re a photographer, if you’re a parent. Hang in there. Be patient. Let the magic happen.
