Fun with puddles! | Parker CO children and family photographer

As a photographer, I want to continuously challenge myself to get more creative.  I've taken classes, I've participated in workshops, and I ask for honest critique from other photographers to help me improve.  I often get caught up in taking pictures for clients and forget to capture our every day life.  It's hard to find a balance between getting the perfect picture for a wall portrait, and candidly capturing the lives of my children and family.  The other day we got home from running some errands and there were huge puddles on the ground from the rain we had just gotten.  Elizabeth is currently obsessed with rain, so I thought it would be fun to let her play in the puddles.  I grabbed my camera and she went to town.  She didn't want to take direction, so I just went with it.  And soon Logan joined in on the fun.  Here are a few photos from our fun :)
