First Shave

 As a photographer and mother, I love to catch those precious and ever-so-fleeting moments of childhood. Sometimes you're lucky enough to grab your camera and get it before they even know you're there! I caught him in the bathroom using up all of my husbands shaving cream. The counters were a mess and his face was so serious.  I was very thankful he didn't find the razors-- a spoon was a much better choice!  I quiety ran to my camera bag hit a few settings and caught him from the mirror view without him knowing I was there until he heard the shutter. Thank goodness I had already caught it with one shot!
