One of the great things about doing photography is that it makes me see the world through a lens. No matter where I am, I'm setting up shots in my mind. Figuring out how to work with undesireable backdrops is one of the challenges I am constantly working out in my mind. I'm able to see so much more beauty in the world that I might not have noticed before.
Then you bring kids into the mix with their thousands of questions and that adds 10 times the amount of wonder you notice in the world. This is why my babies are my favorite location scouts. They definitely don't want to rush things and they are always noticing the smallest details.
"These trees look scary!"
"Who lives in this barn?"
"The sand is so warm."
Photographers are always trying to tell a story in their photos and kids have a way of pointing you in the right direction of a compelling story.
