My newborn, child, kid is just not cooperating, what can we do? I do understand that kids are completely random,especially when the spotlight is on them, however, we have a high volume of clients and so we must still adhere to our schedule. I suggest practicing with your child before your session, that way it does not feel like a completely new experience.
I'm shy or I've never taken pictures before, will you help me pose? While our main focus and goal is to professionally capture your session, we can offer minor insight. For an additional fee, a professional Creative Director can be added to assist you during your session.This person is focused on producing results and is trained to ENHANCE your experience.
