The Blooper Real

I was trying to clean up my picture files this week and came across the pile of pictures I had of Cora and her best buddy Rory on their last day of preschool back in May.  At the time I really just wanted one or two good photos to document their last day.  I remember being frustrated because all I wanted was ONE good picture where they were both smiling and looking at the camera!!  It got to the point where I threw up my hands and just laughed because it seemed so impossible.  I put down the camera, slightly disgusted and thought "ugh...whatever, good enough" and moved on.  Today as I was clicking through being ruthless with my delete button, I realized when I got to this set of pictures I was having trouble deleting any.  Why?  Certainly not because of their photogenic smiling poses.  No I actually found something better.  I realized each picture perfectly captured their personalities, their relationship, and the way they interact with each other.  When you look at the photos together it's like a sneak peak into an amazing friendship. Sometimes the blooper real is better than perfection....that's life, right..?
