I wanted to share this image I took yesterday in the studio. We just finished up some family shots on the couch; the kids were getting comfortable and were having fun running around the studio. We took a break to give their nineteen month old brother a chance to eat a cookie. My plan was to get the two kids together in this pose and bring the little one in next to them. I took one test shot for exposure and quickly snapped this shot. It was as if the stars aligned. This image moves me in a goose bumps on the back of my neck, lump in my throat kind of way.

and not two minutes later we were back to this……
