It’s not uncommon for us to have families show up for family pictures, only to have less-than-cooperative children. We just wanted those of you know you’re not the only ones.
Here’s Jack: Our energetic, cute 3 year old – who would not give us a normal smile even with begging and promises of ice cream.
Here’s Elena: Our sassy, beautiful 2 year old – who decided to spit water down her front right when I took the lens cap off the camera, and who also didn’t want to sit still or smile during her pictures either.
I finally told her she would get some yogurt if she gave me a smile and this is what I got.
So next time you get your kids pictures done and they don’t cooperate, remember that you are not alone. It happens to us photographers too.
Elena did eventually give the camera some love and I got a few great shots of her, but Jack never did earn his ice cream. I did find this picture amongst all the crazy smiles. I’ll take it!
And because our kids are so cute, here is one with all three of them. Gotta love the miracle of three smiling kids in the same picture. Love it.
We still aren’t 100% up-and-running yet with our photography business. We recently moved (again) and are settling down, but hopefully soon we will be able to start taking pictures of family
Yes, that is my sister. Yes, my nieces and nephews are awesome. Yes, Elizabella is superwoman in many of her shots. And yes, I love how they turned out.
