Last Thursday, I got to hang out with one of my favorite families in the whole world, the Santiagos. They wanted me to take some pictures of their kids and I was very happy to oblige. There was only one problem… I had very little experience with child photography! Being the Christian that I am I wasn’t gonna let that stop me… Because I can do ALL THINGS through Jesus Christ! ( Sorry…  didn’t mean to go on a bible tangent) Any who, I went  into this shoot thinking to myself “Oh great!… These kids aren’t going to listen…. I’m not going to get any good shots…blah, blah, blah”. I couldn’t have been more wrong. Children make the best models!

Children make the best models simply because they always so uninhibited.  I truly believe I could have asked them to kill a Yeti, using nothing but a ball of yarn and a Tickle Me Elmo and they would have done it without hesitation. Here are some of my favorite shots from shoot.


(This is my favorite, for various and obvious reason)

I know you’re probably sitting in your comfy office chair twisting from side to side saying to yourself “Silly photographer, all kids aren’t the same.“ I know this.  Leave a comment, tell me about your experience … come on don’t be shy!
