She wanted to know exactly what I was up to! It took a while for her to trust me (as she should), get comfortable and ignore the clicking of my camera, but once she did we made some beautiful photos together keeping it Sweet & Simple.

Headshot Outtakes | Astoria
Something happens to my trigger finger when taking headshots of kids (this sentence sounds crazy out of context, btw) Panic over missing "the shot" sets in and it takes over, clicking away...click, click, click, click, click, click...DEEP BREATH.
