The summer sun is coming and the fun that happens during those lovely days bring out the best in photos. There is nothing like the well-taken picture in the natural light of the day. I love the mid-70's temperatures to make the day perfect. I don't relish the upper 80's and 90's (too hot!) but they do make for nice lighting, if done correctly and anything cooler can make for uncomfortable smiles. I think that the best pictures are the ones that the subject never knows that he or she is having their pictures taken. Children are my favorite subjects since they haven't obtained that over-contrived self-consciousness that we adults seem to acquire in our adolescence. The pictures taken are still nice, but a formed, thought out smile emerges and that carelessness of youth fades away into it. Oh, to be young again and haven't the cares of the world to contend with! It does go by fast and before we all know it our children have become aware....I try to capture all of the moments of my children and love that they have had some extended stays in childhood in this world where that ends too soon.
