It’s interesting to see the contrast of how a young child acts when out and about versus his own environment.
When we want a professional portrait made of our beautiful baby, to capture the milestone of a birthday or stage in life, it’s easy to want to reach for that dressy outfit and sit them in front of a backdrop. Then you get there, plop him in front of a photographer and the lights, and bam – the child wants nothing to do with picture time. At home he’s a gigglebox but he’s cranky at the portrait studio. What’s the deal?
Little kids photograph best in a natural state and in their own environment. If a dressy traditional portrait is important to Mom & Dad, this will turn out much better at home (or Grandma’s, or somewhere familiar).
It also helps to schedule portrait time after a nap and a snack. Have snacks and drinks handy during the portrait session, as well as a couple favorite toys and books. Bubbles, silly songs, and a realistic & lighthearted attitude from everyone – including Mom & Dad even if they aren’t in the pictures – makes all the difference in the world.

I met Rosa & Sokly almost a year ago, and they were such a cute engaged pair 
Finally their big day was here, August 1st, and it was definately an unforgettable one.
Getting ready at the salon and enjoying fantastic Vietnamese coffee.
