The Lovely Everyday: Birthday Number 5

You know, sometimes, I really get caught up in taking the perfect photo. especially if I have my Canon 6D out. I figure I know how to use it, I spent all that money on it, my photos should reflect that.

And then I get a blurry photo.

Or a grainy photo.

And I’m full of photographer angst, berating myself over what I should have or could have done different.

And I want to delete ALL OF THE PHOTOS.

Because they are not perfect.

But life isn’t perfect so why should my photos be?

I took photo after photo on Pookah’s birthday.

In my excitement to capture every moment, I didn’t constantly check my settings or meter, or white balance etc etc.

At first, I was disappointed.

Then the mother in me saw the joyful moments I captured.

The happiness on my baby’s face.

And all the photos were suddenly perfect.

My everyday was indeed lovely.
