Pigtails and Sand

For me, I often get lost in the quest for the "perfect" picture and forget the little everyday moments that are so much more important than rather or not everyone's smiling, the light is great, the background looks good.....so I am trying to take more photos that capture  life just as it is.

This next lo is such an example.  This picture is of my daughter playing in the sand.  She's not looking at me, in fact, she is looking at some birds :-)  But what I love about this photo is that she is sitting crisscrossed in the sand, with her little pigtails, and she is squinting her eyes in just a way that she reminds me of my husband.

Have a great day!
