. the luitjens family .

. the longer i do photography the more i realize that you never know what's going to walk through the doors when you schedule a shoot . it's always a surprise . good thing i like surprises, huh ? and i have to say, i've rarely been disappointed, i have such great clients to work with . on that note, meet this cute little family . they were so fun to watch interact .

. my main goal of my photography is to portray love and happiness . in my mind that is perfection, as opposed to the perfectly posed with the predictable smiles . nothing wrong with those photos, they just aren't what i love to capture .

. this is what i want to capture .

(little tristan wanted mommy)

. seriously, i'm feeling a little teary eyed today anyway, but i just want to cry (happy tears) when i see the love and happiness in these faces .

. love . love . love .

. thank you so much luitjens family for letting me capture you guys, as you are .
