It's completely different going from shooting people that you can position and pose to kiddos that you're just trying to catch a second of eye contact from. I took at least triple the amount of pictures that I usually take at a photo session with less of them turning out. It's that age, being completely interested in what you are experiencing, not what the photographer is trying to get you to look at. And there's always a moment when you know the session is over, when you know they're just DONE. I love photographing kids but I definitely need to start bringing something to keep them engaged in, even if that only lasts for a few seconds.
With every session there is always something new to learn, always another new experience. I love that challenge.
Thank you to G & A for letting me attempt to capture a few smiles from a few adorable boys. I hope that you like them!!! Here are a few of my faves....

Very cute, Audrey! I can totally relate to the "done" comment. It's so true :)
Kids are difficult to photograph for sure, but you really got some winners with these photos. Looks like you captured them doing what they do best-being kids!
Last night I realized that it never fails when I put stuff on my head that shouldn't be on my head.
I wanted photos of my son's chicken pox and I knew he wasn't going strip for me so I got him in the bathtub and stood on a chair and put various things on my head. Gets em every time!
Oh and one qtip in each ear helps too ;)
