deciding

the longest part of editing a photo session for me is whittling down however many I start with to however many I'm planning on ending up with

I go back and forth comparing similar shots. try to decide on a top 25 or so based on what makes me happy, what moms are going to like seeing their kids doing, who's going to think they look too dorky and collecting a good representation of everybody

this family took 2 tries to get enough good ones due to the craziest thunderstorm ever

then I somehow ended up with 437 pictures

I'm at least half way there and plan on finishing tonight

here's a couple from the keep list so far
