Cooling off in the heat! | Child Photography | Metro-Detroit, Michigan

I was in the process of reorganizing some of my personal pictures from last year and I came across one of my forgotten favorites!!! Tracy and I were shooting a wedding out of town and were hanging out with our daughter for a few final moments in the hotel room before we had to say goodbye and go photograph the bride and groom and all their preparations before the wedding ceremony. It was already shaping up to be a dreadfully hot day and all of us were trying to stay as cool as possible while we went through the final checks of all our camera gear. We had cranked the air-conditioner in the hotel room up to full power and it was finally starting to kick in. That’s when I noticed my 1-year old smiling a huge goofy grin while standing next to the air conditioning vent and enjoying the cool air. The vent was pumping out air big-time by now and whipping her hair into a frenzy, making her look ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS!!! I quickly turned and composed one good candid photograph before she noticed.
Not something I’d necessarily enlarge to a 20×30, frame and mount on the living room wall, but every time I see it it makes me laugh!!! It also makes me appreciate how the simple things in life can still put a smile on your face, even if your not 1-year old anymore.
