Parks are often the preferred venue of choice for my clients, recipe but I was eager to mix things up for this session.
Thanks to this amazing little family who let me stretch my creative legs for our session.

When I met this lovely family for the first time, I was excitedly greeted by little Miss C who showed me her dress and some of her great toys.
She was so amazingly cooperative, I couldn’t believe it. We whisked through some posed family portraits, and even got some great ones of her in her bedroom as she showed me around, and of her and daddy together after a rousing game of “knight dragons.”

This kid has imagination to spare!

Nearing the end of the session, the words “Mars bar” came up, as Miss C had been promised some candy for cooperating. She made sure her parents didn’t forget the deal. She smiled, but this whole deal was wearing thin. Make with the chocolate!

Even when I returned to do their viewing session a week later, she made sure to point out in a particular photo when she was looking quite serious that “that was when I wanted my Mars bar”.

Well the results speak for themselves. I think I might start carrying a stash in my camera bag.

You’ve got kids. They do fun stuff. They make you crazy, they make you smile.

It’s easy sometimes to get distracted from the joy. To be overwhelmed by all you have to do. I know. I have two kids and run my business from home. It’s chaotic on a good day.

Sometimes though, you just gotta ‘Keep calm, and snap on.’

That’s right. When my son dumped out some flour onto the kitchen counter and started digging in it while I was in the next room, I was, to say the least, annoyed with the situation. But had I let that annoyance get the better of me, I would have missed out on the wonder and amazement that ensued.

“Look mommy, snow!” he gushed as he ran his toy digger through a pile of the white stuff.

What if next time your kid did something that made you crazy, you could just be in the moment. You could just watch him/her in wonder. What if you could take a great photo of it, that would make your heart ache each time you looked at it, because it was just so awesome?

Come to my Snappy Mama workshop and find out how to use your camera to the best of your ability.
Let me take the frustration out of one part of your day so you can be free to enjoy other parts.
