Photographers' Kids are the Worst!

It NEVER fails; a beautiful family shows up with their young children and as any other young children do, said children act...their age. And every.single.time the parent(s) are apologizing, getting embarrassed, so on and so forth when it comes to their children’s' behavior during the session or worrying that nothing will turn out because, "my child is the worst picture taker ever!"

Lies... Your child, unless you're also a photographer, is not the worst. Mine is. As much as one would think a photographer's kid would be used to being in front of the camera (truth), it's almost as if they are S

O used to it that they become odd creatures in front of the lens because this time it THEIR turn in front of the camera. So, dear parents, caregiver, etc....do yourself a favor; relax, enjoy the moments we're capturing of your tiny humans as they truly are and you will look back on these memories and relish in them and only wish that your kiddos could be that small again.

Case in point - I thought it would be a GENIOUS idea to have a photo shoot with my own daughter (my

"mini") to commemorate our 3rd and 30th birthdays (they're only a couple of days apart) and have my business partner (aka Mom/Grandma). Well, stick a photographer in front of the camera with their mini in it's bound to turn into a "Murphy's Law" situation. So, our tea party was saved only by some delicious cake...

We started off late, but in good spirits:

Then we set up for the tea party:

Pretty cute eh? Well, see those sweet glass goblets? Those are my maternal grandmother's and the saucers the cakes are on were my paternal grandmother's...

Watch for the goblets:

Notice how they dissapeared?? Well, we tried to lean in to give eachother a kiss and Lexi lost her balance, knocked over the table, and fell into the backdrop. This then led to the goblets (with liquid) going flying and breaking (tears...) on our floor. Karen, (business partner/mom/grandma) tried to save the day and clean up the glass and instead cut herself and started bleeding everywhere. SEE! Murphy's Law!

After cleaning up the mess, and drying the tears, we ended with promise of smashing cake in mom's face:

And a snuggle with her teddy bear (his name is "Bluey" and he was given to me at birth):

So, as you can see, we ended up with some canvas worthy photos...even after our "Murphy's Law" photo shoot. Relax..."We've got this"
