You pray for a smile, but learn to be satisfied with a… pucker.
Or your child’s signature silly face. Every kid has one.
But once in a blue moon,
You’ll get the shots you’ve been waiting two years to capture.
The stars will align and for one brief, glorious moment, brother and sister will sit still together… AND SMILE FOR THE CAMERA.
You will hold your breath and snap away like there’s no tomorrow.
And you’ll smile as you look back over the pictures you’ve just taken, knowing that you’ve finally captured an image that will forever be etched on your mind and your heart.
