There are countless reasons to have the photographer come to you. The obvious lies in the fact that your collection of images will feel more true to you and this time. In addition, the time leading up to the session getting ready will be easier. Photography with toddlers and young children can be fun!! Here is how:
I have compiled my ten reasons why the photographer should come to you, here.
HOW TO MAKE PHOTOGRAPHY WITH YOUNG CHILDREN FUN:
We have all been there. You have a big surprise for the kids and you are trying desperately to get them fed, washed up, and ready. Shoes are on, shoes are off, a melt down here, and spill there. You have zero time to brush your hair or find matching socks. You have to be a certain place at a certain time. Most importantly, you are so super excited and want to share this with them. But little humans with big feelings can have different plans for the mornings.
When the photographer comes to you for newborn photos with toddlers, you get to dial down that behind the scenes stress a bit. By removing the car travel and the time constraints, you spend the morning at slower pace. Subsequently, starting your session in a more enjoyable way.
Emotions are heavily tied to your photographic experience. By nature, that is the driving force of photographing in a candid, lifestyle way. On the other hand, you want to remember how this time felt, what it smelled like, all the sounds that went with this chapter. No negative feelings or emotions should be attached to your photograph session.
“Photographing with Steph feels natural and she always makes it fun. My husband has always looked at professional photography like a chore. We were made to pose and do things that made us feel awkward. Then we found Steph!! We were genuinely laughing and having a good time together. She played music to set the mood for us and my kids asked to take her home with us.” – Tina H.
PHOTOGRAPHY WITH TODDLERS ARE DIFFERENT AND UNIQUE TO YOU:
The newborn session below welcomes the newest brother into this family of five. All children were under the age of four. With that comes creative games from my nanny days. These parents were ready to get down on the ground and play with their kids. They were snuggle piles and smooches and just let it flow. I make no promises of a sit and smile family portrait, though I will always capture the feelings and the emotions among your family in a natural way.
