I recently shot photos in the home of the Brandenburgs, a nice young family who is celebrating the first birthday of their daughter, Tessa. The shoot included some portraits of Tessa, and also some family holiday shots. Tessa was a fun subject, even if we did have to keep wiping graham cracker crumbs from her chin :) One of my favorite photos that came out of the shoot was this mother and daughter photo. The dress was purchased by a relative of theirs who is in the armed forces and stationed overseas. I also enjoyed the photo of Tessa eating her shoe. Sometimes those "real" moments make much better photos than canned smiles.
