Speaking from experience here. Toddlers are hard. Toddlers are crazy! You truly have no idea how taking photos with your toddler is going to roll out. It could go great, or it could go terribly wrong. You just can’t count on them posing perfectly and big, beautiful smiles. This family did the best thing you can do on a shoot with a toddler. They had fun. Instead of trying to get perfectly posed shots, they just had fun and look how cute, natural, and beautiful these photos are. Also, I am really into newborn sessions taking place at the beach!
