Meltdowns, tears, detours and other (future) fond memories

There are a few portraits that everyone wants. Usually involving smiles, kisses or a tender moment between Daddy and Baby. But what about the other stuff?

Tantrums, defiance, dirt...while the moment is beyond frustrating, years from now when your little one is all grown up and on his or her way to college won't you look up at the photo in full blown tantrum mode at the park and grow misty? I took the below photo of my daughter at Tyler Aborteum two weeks ago. It was hot and she got very angry because she couldn't play with my camera. In the moment, we were both a little upset. But even now when I look at it, I can see the humor and well, she's just so darn cute when she cries.

Some of the best photos I've taken are those unplanned and agitated moments.

Go with it. They turn out to be life's treasures.
