I adore the “H” family. I have known their mommy for years. It is always such a blast to catch up and see how things are going. I have also been photographing the big “H” since he was one so it is fun to see all of his changes. Since the family added a new little one into the mix, we had to document the occasion! I hope that you all enjoy! On a different note, I adore your comments. Please keep them coming and don’t be offended if it takes me a while to “approve” them. I get about 250 spam comments a day and there really isn’t a super quick way to sort through them (at least that I have found) so eventually your comments will be up for all their glory. Definitely know that I appreciate them completely!!
All the best,
Meghan
There are certainly times when it takes a little while for things to get going when shooting a toddler! As a children’s photographer and a mom to two toddlers, I am completely aware that it takes a bit for kiddos to warm up. I get some of my favorite pictures of the shoot during this “warm-up” phase. They are always so funny but, of course, after a little while they get used to the camera and then eventually forget that I am even there. When you are getting your children ready for a shoot, make sure to get them excited about me coming over to photograph them. If they start to think of it like I am coming over to play, sometimes that helps a bit to ease into the shoot. I always try to meet the kiddos without my camera so that they get more comfortable with me without a giant camera in hand. There is definitely an art to photographing young children!
I love the movement and laughter in this next one:
