A picture speaks a thousand words, right? Many folks (myself included), share the 'good' photos that can speak to the fun of their experience. We all share ones the photos that are shot well, capture beauty, joy, etc. Well, the photos shot here, they tell a different story. There is not much of any of the qualities I mentioned. Yet they do capture the essence of an important moment; one where a family (or rather family member!) is cranky, frustrated and not feeling it. A very real moment.
Our dear friend Roger was kind enough to try to capture our family at Turtle Bay. While it turned out to be one big oy vey, there were some great lessons learned, like:
put the camera down and be present in the moment;
honor each person's mood;
life is not perfect.

| Don was willing to smile for the camera after my patience wore thin with Havana and I walked away. |

| Eventually we were able to get a shot of our family and the Haas-Jajeh clan but it was no easy task. Havana still wouldn't smile but that was okay. It was what it was and that was perfect. |
