Don't Worry, Just Leave it to Me | Alexandria, VA Child and Family Photographer

The holiday season should be filled with joy and happiness, not dread and torture over trying to take your own family photo using a tripod and timer. The 'C' family has always had lovely holiday photos, but at a cost to their sanity. After too many years of blood, sweat, and tears, they finally gave up on doing it themselves and reached out to me for help. It's amazing how kids just respond so much better when there is someone on the other side of the camera who is NOT mom or dad. Especially if the photographer is a total goofball. ;)

And sure enough, although the boys were a bit shy at first, I got some of the best smiles of the session right out of the gate. And they both had the loveliest smiles - such handsome fellas! They were wonderful to work with - gentle, cooperative, and willing to try different things. We even had a bit of an injury, but the brave boy soldiered on. What a trooper!

I sure hope that our session was a pleasant experience for the boys and that their takeaway is that taking photos is FUN!

Here is a sneak peak from our session:
