Over my 9 years in business and over 700 shoots I have had many not so enthusiastic toddlers and kids. I never push and have lots of experience. Trust that I will do everything possible to have your kids warm up during the shoot. If ever a re-shoot is necessary it's possible! Whatever you do, don't stress - kids pick up on that energy quickly. Your kids are in good hands with me and I have yet to have a session where I haven't gotten at least some amazing shots.
