She is a girl...
Sometimes I feel guilty--photographing my daughter, Abigail, much more than my son, Caleb. The reason behind this is that Abigail is oftentimes way more dramatic than her brother is, or ever will be; I thought it would be great to document such temperament, so I can show her future husband what he should be looking forward to for the rest of his life.
She is a girl, and this is how she was made, I have to remind myself.
The first time I realized this is how she operates, I told my husband that we have to pray hard, starting now. I am all for bringing up a princess, but I am definitely not for bringing up a spoiled princess.
You see, there is a big difference.
Then, every so often, our girl decides to flash a killer smile, which melts the hearts of many.
She is a girl, just like me...and this is how we are made.

Beautiful post. I've never thought of it in this way. I do tend to photograph children that are more dramatic. A family I know once asked me to take some pictures of their baby when he was crying. The picture showed his real personality and in a way was very cute because of the expression he made.But I also admire this family and their parenting skills because their kids are not spoiled at all.
I so believe that you will be able to find a balance in raising your children.
Great pictures. I know that girls have much more temperament. I was the only one in our family and if you are the only girl between two brothers you need to have temperament, because otherwise they tease you until no end.
I am sure you will do great raising both of your kids.
