More so than not when I'm shooting Little Ones I hear mommy's & daddy's behind my camera saying
"Don't fig-it, stop making silly faces, sit up straight...KEEP YOUR SHOES ON!"
Maybe we do that because we automatically assume that kids being kids annoys others
We think the photos will look silly
that you will end up with a lot of pictures of grumpy or rambunctious faces
or no "good photos" at all!
& many times little ones don't always want to sit up straight and smile for a "Sears portrait"
I mean...isn't that why those places still exist?
So you can go get the generic photo of your Little's with a black sheet for the background?
IF THEY WANT TO
kick off their shoes
Laugh hysterically
make SILLY faces
Climb a Tree
Play with a stick
.Let Them.
They are only little once
One day they won't be Little Ones any longer
And instead of going to a photo session and having fun and being Little
they will be "too cool" to smile for the camera
Or make a silly face
Or the ability to express in that exact moment how they feel
Cause again, they are "too cool"
Below are some of my FAV photos of kids just being kids
So let them {Be Little} and you just might be amazed at the {Priceless} images you get
{Laugh until your belly hurts....& then just a little bit more}
