I have NEVER been soooo EXCITED to share a set of photos.  I left this session with a huge smile on my face!

A little background:  I’ve been photographing the Ellie and Max for over a year now.  We do about 6 photo shoots a year!  And they are still my hardest clients!  Getting these two to focus and sit still for more than 2-seconds is a nightmare.  Their parents and I have tried every bribe we can think of- candy, chocolate, toys, TV time…NOTHING and I mean NOTHING works!  Until today….

How I did it?!?  A mixture of the perfect amount of sleep and snacks for Ellie and Max before the portrait session.  And then bribing with playtime at the park and quarters!  Yes Quarters?!?  Ellie really wanted “monies” to put her in pockets.  So bring on the quarters.  Not to mention the lighting was utterly puuuurrrfect!  I could not be more happy with these photos and I think their parents’ hearts will melt.
