Beauty in Imperfection


I snapped this shot of Sienna being entranced by the ocean. Right after I clicked the camera, I noticed that the little darling had half her bathing suit up her bottom. I reached forward and fixed it, then got another shot quickly. But when I got home and looked at them, I kept the first one.

For me, when I try to hard to make sure that everything in the picture is perfect, the shot losses it's sincerity and feeling. Perfection can be cold at times and flaws incredibly endearing.

In short, don't be afraid of shooting what seems like a non-kodak moment. I promise you they can end up being your favorites.
