A real photographer would have waited another two hours for the light to be perfect and glowy.
I however was a mom with a cute kid in a good mood wearing a pink tutu, cherry rhinestones in her hair and ruby slippers.
Cute kids in a good moods wearing a pink tutus, cherry rhinestones in their hair and ruby slippers don’t wait for perfect, glowy light.
They’re like Sasquatch. You are not quite sure they exist but if they do come out you’d better be ready, perfect glowy light or not.

A cooperating toddler is a godsend. You are right, there is no waiting for glowy light.

Old Navy. $14. Best $14 invested in the moosh’s wardrobe in the last six months at least.

All of these shots are incredible. That top one especially deserves to be printed poster-size and hung in your livingroom. Next to the exercise equipment, perhaps?
