NOTHING like this. Hahaha! But maybe they have started doing more lifestyle photography there too. I loved that you and Abby worked together on ‘planning’ the tea party for her stuffed animals/photo shoot!

Definitely going to try looking at my son while I shoot and see if that helps. I have plenty of neat photos of him staring off into space, but the ones with direct eye contact are so much more compelling–and so much harder to get 🙂

Also, if you have really little ones who don’t engage in conversation yet, here’s something that works approximately once per photo shoot: get all your settings adjusted for lighting, angles, aperture, etc. and then crow like a rooster really loud. 🙂 Your child (unless he’s used to hearing mom sound like a rooster!) will almost assuredly look straight at the camera, and often with a priceless expression 🙂

I’m glad you didn’t share the technical stuff! Most of that stuff is hard to apply to kids anyway, in my experience. Thanks!

She’s a sweetheart, for sure. I find, too, that having kids playing and engaged helps to dispel what their grandmother calls, “making that silly face!”
