This little cutie was recently in the studio to celebrate her 3rd Birthday with a photoshoot! I have had the absolute pleasure of capturing her first, second and third birthdays and I love looking back to see how much she has changed over the years. I can't tell you how much it means to me when parents trust me year and after year to capture these special memories.
Capturing beautiful memories for a family is a photographers dream. However, as most toddler parents already know, the reality can be far from picture-perfect! Imagine the scene: me, the photographer, poised and ready, camera in hand, while a three year old, with never ending determination, would rather be anywhere but in front of that camera!
Patience is definitely a must have when photographing children. As a photographer, I have learned a lot about patience over the years, as a Mom I am not sure I have learned that lesson quite yet! Luckily I have a few tricks up my sleeve when working with reluctant 3 year olds.
Just when you might think the photoshoot is a lost cause, moments of unexpected delight unfold. A sweet giggle, an adorable eye roll or a heart-melting smile. These glimpses of real emotion remind us why we endure the chaos of a toddler photoshoot in the first place. Luckily, it only takes a second to capture these moments.
Photographing toddlers reminds us of the beauty of imperfection. With a little bit of patience we get a glimpse into their perfect little personalities and I don't think there is anything more magical!
