One thing I have learned from this quarantine (as a family photographer) is that there is always more work that can be done to work on your craft. Even if that does not include shooting. I am going back through older sessions and came across this session with my best friend Natalie of Natalie Grace Photography and her daughter Aurora. This was a trade session between her and I. Let’s just say, the session did not go exactly as we planned but that’s pretty typical when it comes to family sessions with a toddler.

 

Aurora went back and forth between happy and crying. But you know what, it is okay. This is what life looks like with an almost 2 year old. You do what you have to get them to cooperate even if that means any kind of snack possible (even if it is chocolate and they can smear it all over themselves lol make sure you scroll all the way through) and wave keys in front of the camera to get them to smile. In the end, the images that you capture are real life and they are memories that you will cherish for a lifetime. Make sure you scroll through and find the donut pictures… Prepare yourself lol

Being a family photographer can be challenging at times and require a lot of patience but I wouldn’t change it for the world!
