This little turkey had to be the best kid shoot in quite some time. Little Carson. A total doll. He was just a joy and he wouldn’t stop moving… all energy and smiles. I wish I could say my own miscreants had been so durn easy going at this age…. ummmmm. Nope. Resounding nope.
So this little dude was so appreciated… on what was a rainy, nasty day he was just pure BLISS!

I snapped relentlessly… hundreds of exposures. What was really a family sitting turned into all Carson… all the time. And his parents were thrilled.

Oh so many years ago, when my own photographic aspirations were still but a seed… a dream… wishes and unicorns… at a meeting to discuss our wedding coverage, I assured the photographer we hired that the ceremony would be outdoors and he could feel free to “snap away”….
Down his bulbous nose he glared, “I don’t snap.”
Pretentious ass… but to his credit, that moment helped direct me professionally: I’m a “snapper”… I just snap, snap, snap and snap some more. And you know what? All that snapping gets me some purdy good images… so proud snapper am I….

Right Carson?

Well bless that little Carson’s energetic soul! And darn good thing you ended up with that pretentious non-snapper! I snap too!

Great post.

This is a gorgeous photo! I’m with you - what can you lose by snapping? If you don’t, you might miss the best shot!

That is a wonderful capture and I love the angle. If the other images turned out half as well as that one, Carson’s parents are going to have a hard time choosing.

That is a great photo! I really like how you angled it. Oh, your wedding photographer sounds like mine. All of my wedding photos are posed and look so posed! Ugh. Snap away!

Coolest little turkey ever. Certainly a money shot! Effective background.

Say It!

Most of our obstacles would melt away if, instead of cowering before them, we should make up our minds to walk boldly through them. -Orison Swett Marden

… when a man is capable of being in uncertainties, mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason. - John Keats

Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success. whole, clear, glorious life lies before you. Achieve! Achieve! - Andrew Carnegie

As a single footstep will not make a path on the earth, so a single thought will not make a pathway in the mind. To make a deep physical path, we walk again and again. To make a deep mental path, we must think over and over the kind of thoughts we wish to dominate our lives. -Henry David Thoreau
