This little was born close to Christmas, so we did 1 year photos and christmas photos all in one go. Sometimes setting a scene with a toddler is difficult. They can be moody and not want to cooperate, Hudson was a doll. We had a lot of fun playing with wrapping paper and lights and different toys. He was just adorable.
Senior photos can be a lot of fun or they can be more challenging than posing a toddler. Some teenagers are being obligated by their parents to get their senior photos and are stiff and refuse to try poses. Angie was not that way at all. She was a model model.
Boys can be more of a challenge when getting them to pose for photos. I tend to bring a lot of examples of GQ models for when they are wearing suits and casual sports figure photos for when they are in casual wear. This has been changing as kids are more and more concerned with their looks and presence on social media. 15 years ago, most kids didn't really know how to pose themselves and there were a lot of awkward poses, slumped shoulders and lackluster smiles to work through. My job is getting easier post-facebook and instagram.
