Working with children can be a challenge, but it can be so rewarding! You have to know how to be silly, how to play, and how to tell if you’re pushing them too much or they need a break. As a child photographer, I have an array of tricks up my sleeve guaranteed to get even the toughest kiddo to have fun and give me genuine smiles. I can’t promise that I won’t get your child wound up before giving them back to you, but we definitely have fun during your photography session! (I like to ask kids which family member has the stinkiest feet, and I may even break out a rubber chicken. Consider yourself warned.)
If your child has a birthday approaching, or you just need to get some updated images of them (with real smiles, not “say cheese” ones), I’m the photographer for you!
Here are some images from Ruby’s session. She wanted a mermaid themed birthday, so of course she had to comb her hair with a Dinglehopper. It’s what mermaids do! Then she saw some of the princess dresses I have for my clients to use and had to try them all on. She especially loved the green one that reminded her of Princess Tiana from Disney’s “The Princess and the Frog”. It has jingle bells on the back for even more princess bling. The dresses are all from Dollcake and are always a favorite for aspiring princesses.
Without further ado, Princess Ruby.
