Or we've said, "I just can't get a good picture of my kid because he/she won't sit still long enough for me to do so." Just another reason to hire a professional. You see, we photographers have little tricks up our sleeves - and the right equipment - for making those moments still enough to photograph.
I know that children (especially ages 1-3) can be very hard to photograph because they are so mobile and busy. (I have learned that very quickly with my own little busy boy, Miles! Stay tuned for a blog post about a sweet (but challenging) Valentine's Day mini-shoot I had with him... coming in early February.)
I love capturing those little still moments for parents to enjoy. I met the little cuties below at the "A Wonderful Life" event (click here) that I volunteered at in early December at my church. I only had about 60 seconds to work with them, and as I did so, their mama mentioned that she's never gotten a good picture of the two of them together, and she has had to actually Photoshop them together in the past. Well, with a little coaching and a new lady making them laugh (me!), we got these images for their mama in just about 60-seconds. Imagine if we had a full 1-2 hour session together. The little guys were just too cute!
