Before or After?

I am passing time on this snowy day playing with some old pics.  I love how one image can become something totally different with a little editing!  Check out my before and afters below... Which one would you pick??  Happy Friday everyone!!!

What you didn't see on the "Sneak Peek"

Photographing children is seriously one of the things I love doing more than anything else... they are so funny, I mean really, who else do you get to be around that does exactly what they are feeling in that moment... I love catching some of these things on camera!  I would say that having fun with these kids is one of my favorite parts of being a photographer.  I love to get the kids laughing, being themselves and most importantly having fun.  Usually I get the funniest pictures during the second half of the photo shoot, once the kids have warmed up a little...  They show their funniest faces, expressions and personality.  One of the biggest things I have learned (and am still learning) is that if I can be relaxed and am having a good time, the kids will usually mimic this.  I also want to give a TON of credit to my AMAZING assistants that have wonderful personalities and are so great with kids.  I could not do it without them!

I wanted to share a few of these funny captures with you (a little bit of what you don't see in a sneak peek ;-)!  Here are a few that I thought were so cute!  Happy Monday everyone!
