When photographing my youngest of clients, say birth to 18 months, there is a whole other dimension of challenges added into the shoot. Besides capturing the right camera settings, lighting, composition and so forth I then have to feel my way with this little person and try and win them over quick enough to get some great shots all from behind a camera. How do you persuade a 1-year old to smile after 30 minutes of shooting when they lost interest 29 minutes ago? The short answer is with a ton of help from mom & dad (oh and treats of course).
See for yourself how hard mom & dad had to work before we were able to get “the shot”…
Oh dad, is that your nose?…
Wait…I just want to check something out over here….
This looks like a good seat for now…
Or maybe this is better…
I’m just over it! Haven’t I done enough!
Yup, I’m officially leaving…
All that hard work and finally….
All in a days work…and I wouldn’t have it any other way…
