Photo Friday #14....

Everyone knows toddlers are difficult to photograph.  With my experience, they either take no direction, do the opposite of what you ask, or even run from the camera!  Well, I do believe I have figured out a solution to this problem.  It's very simple!  Place them in an environment where they are having fun, being themselves.  They will pay no attention to you, therefore you will be able to get amazing photos of their NATURAL self!!  NO fake smiles, NO forced poses, and NO refusing direction!  Today Julia and Daddy K played on a trampoline!  I got a few fantastic shots of true toddler happiness.....


Static anyone??

I wish I went through life every day feeling this relaxed and carefree!  So much you can learn from a kid!

    Awe...so cute, she looks just like her dad!
    I find that's the best way too, to photograph a child, in their natural state.

    Thanks so much for sharing with Foto Friday,

    I love these! Especially that last one. And it's so true, the only way I can get my two year old to look at me is to tell him not to look at me!
