I met up with little Miss J at Founders’ Park in Queen Creek today. Her mama said that she’s usually extremely shy, so I think we were both pleasantly surprised that she did absolutely amazing! Isn’t she the cutest little thing ever? I don’t know if there’s anything sweeter than a little child like this…but of course that’s why I love doing what I do!

Yes, I actally *do* own a thesaurus. I need to use it! Would you believe that this little beauty was a 28-week preemie!? Look at those eyes, too. Overwhelming cuteness!

Are there even any words??? I need to find some synonyms to “cute” and “adorable” and “precious!”

Kingston joined me in the studio this morning for another cake smash! I honestly think that if I could only photograph one thing for the rest of my life, I would pick this. I don’t think I’ll ever get tired of the adorable expressions and reactions that all babies seem to have!
Everyone has outtakes! | Queen Creek Family Photography

Everyone has outtakes! Kids will be kids–they don’t always act like perfect angels through an entire session. They might not act like an angel for even a moment! But usually, I can capture some memorable images anyway! The most important thing is that they have fun and that they laugh a lot–that way, they will remember it as a positive experience!
I love having a child who is almost always willing to pose for me! She asks me often but that doesn’t mean we don’t have our share of outtakes and sour faces, too!! What 4 year old REALLY likes being told what to do? And I try to keep my direction to loose suggestions and I still get the sour faces!
I had to chuckle as I went through these for the first time and I decided it would be fun to post a series of images that I think will make most moms VERY happy. At least anyone who’s felt stressed if their child is seemingly not cooperative during a photo session (and really, isn’t that ALL of us?)! So many people who’ve seen lots of images of my four year old have said, “You’re so lucky! So-and-so would never be that cooperative all the time!”
Well, do I EVER have a surprise for you! :D And if you check back later, I’ll share the gems from our session as well. You’ll be surprised the images were all taken within the same 5-10 minute period!
