Just kidding what?

Photography. It's not about smiling children on a gradient backdrop. It's your kids (your teens, your family, yourselves, your pets) doing what you do when you're happy, and capturing that as a tangible memory.
I'm Shani, and I'd love to take your picture. Seriously.

Little Miss Sunshine

I know I am not supposed to post too many photos of my own kids, becasue …wait, why? does it make me look less proffessional? Like I’m just a mommy photographer? maybe, and I don’t let that stop me. I believe I have to point my camera at my kids and at my life and that I don’t do it enough ( their grandparents agree…) Usually my kids run away or just make faces, (that they think are funny), when in the middle of a tender moment, I say “wait… I’ll be right back, I just want to go get my camera, and of course the moment is gone, gone, gone. But this afternoon, like the whole day today that rained and we thought would be just a regular rainy in-home day, turned out to be a glorious sunny California day, and just like the shirt Zoe’s wearing and just like a ray of light in an otherwaise codish day, I got one of those rare, deep, calm, sweet beautiful looks that are just one of the reasons I am so CRAZY about my kids, and why I have to photograph them too, and share it with you.
