I have been photographing the H family since Charlotte was born!  Click here to see Charlotte’s Newborn Session. We’ve also done a cake smash and a Gingerbread mini together and each time these kiddos are more fun!

One of the things you should know about me as a photographer is that I tend to ignore parents at the beginning of a mini-session. I prepare you for this and try to answer all of your questions before the session, but I only have 10-15 minutes in a mini-session to get your kiddos to like me and come alive for the camera. So as soon as your kiddos come in, I spend all my energy getting to know them and building a connection with them. Sometimes that means we are running races or dancing or even jumping on the bed.

With the H family, each kiddo is different. James, the oldest, and I talked a bit about school and solved some algebraic equations right on my studio paper. Martin is a complete goofball who I had jumping all over the studio and laughing and all my antics. Charlotte looked at me and told me that she wasn’t in the mood to pose or smile and not in a rude way. Charlotte knows her own mind and I knew respected her wishes by first capturing images of her siblings and having her help with the camera. When you’re three and you see a few images pop up, you naturally want to see yourself on the back of the camera, too. Charlotte clearly joined the fun on her own after that moment of connection with me. We didn’t have to bribe or have a tantrum because she knew I was listening to and respecting her.

Because the H family has worked with me several times, mom and dad trusted my process and the results are fantastic! I even had a moment to capture Corey and Jeb alone while all the kiddos were going nuts either chatting with me or destroying my toy corner.
