Caution Tape, A Random Fence, and Tears

Let me first explain the title of this post ... I met the "C" family at one of my favorite parks to find a huge black tarp covering the fountain, yellow caution tape all in the background, a new fence blocking another favorite spot, and one little fellow who just couldn't stop his tears. Guess it's good that I don't mind a challenge :) And even better that this sweet family (and dear friends of ours) didn't get disappointed as we kept finding that this perfect park was less than perfect on this particular day. As for little "L's" tears ... well, bless his heart he just didn't feel well but still managed to give us a few smiles. Little ones are so unpredictable (especially on portrait day) and sometimes you just have to let go of your idea of a perfect portrait session and make the best of the smiles and happiness you do get along the way ... which the "C" family totally did.

Thank you guys for allowing me to capture your beautiful family again!! Here is a sneak peek into our time together!

This smile was worth waiting for ...
