What to do if your toddler is misbehaving during your photo session

Photographing children means you have to quick on your toes and understanding. Small children are learning what their emotions are and some times do not know exactly what they want. They often will act scared, shy or have the meltdown of all meltdowns. This is especially the case when they are having their photographs taken....

Baby B

Sweet Burgundy came to see me at 9 days new and her session was absolutely amazing! She made me work for her photos, but I enjoyed every single moment of being able to dress her up. Her mother also came equipped with tons of props which made it that much more fun. Here are a...

Reyes Family

I have had the pleasure of getting to know the Reyes family since their youngest son’s newborn session, not to mention we are neighbors! They are such a fun a loving family and quite frankly, I am so jealous Isha’s craftiness! She has definitely outdone herself during this holiday season! For the session, we took...

Warren is 1!

As a mom, it is important to me to have photos of my child growing up. As a photographer, I know there is no way I can get my child to sit down for a photos. Sometimes, kids just have to be kids. I know it can be frustrating when a child won’t participate in...

Garcia Family

In the military community, you would think saying goodbye to friends would get easier over time, but unfortunately it doesn’t. It makes those valuable friendships that much more meaningful and in retrospect bittersweet. The upside to this is it that there is a likely hood of crossing paths again (especially if you come from the...

Brown Family

I have to say I absolutely love having little girls in the studio! I have a very rambunctious two year old boy that is rough and tough, so having a delicate newborn girl, who I can dress up, is so much fun. Miss June’s session was a dream. Not only was she sleepy, she was...
