It might have been the photographers job from hell ... five kids ages five and under. But a few days after I shot this group I was at a photographers convention where I learned I had just shot Experiental Photography. The new trend in professional photography is not to capture the perfect image with smiles, crossed ankles and hands folded compliantly in one's lap. The new trend is to capture the experience. Without giving myself too much credit, I have to admit that was my only choice! Early in my hour session I figured out I had to just keep shooting and hope for the best so if I saw a face, I let the shutter fly! To get this adorable picture I had to shoot about 116 images. The abuela and I were a bit frazzled at the end of the hour, not to mention the two mothers of these children, and were we less respectable we might have collapsed with a glass of wine at some point and said "We give up!". But once the images were out of the camera it was apparent we had far more keepers than we thought during the process. Here are a few more.
