Ever have a photo session where the kids are a little, well... rambunctious? Or maybe they're in a funk, don't want to participate, are prone to tantrums—or any other (totally) normal kid behavior that might stress you out when it comes to taking photos of families. Woof, I hear you. As a mama of 5 and a family photographer for over 10 years, I know what it's like to wrangle rowdy kids—and get lots of stunning photos of them (even if they aren't too crazy about the idea of a photo shoot). I'll walk you through EXACTLY what you need to know about connecting with families and kids so that they want to participate—and so that you can get high-quality, authentic photos, no matter what.
