our first family shoot :)



So this past week we where in St Croix, It was awesome...While we where there Mark planned to do a family shoot for our Aunt and Uncle. So the whole trip we where brainstorming poses and themes etc....little did we know babies have their own agenda. So all our ideas and poses got thrown out the window after our first attempt to make the baby smile...

So our 2nd game plan was just to go with the flow. Like most of you know, when you are shooting Babies they don't want to smile when you say smile, and they don't want to look at the camera unless you have someone like myself (Candice) jumping up and down like a crazy person screaming "wooop woop". So we just walked to different parts of the house with hopes that this "next shot" would be better the the last, and with no tears.

After the shoot was done, we were super pumped with the results! It was so fun to watch Mark snap his camera and watch his face light up when he caught the "perfect" moment.

Our Aunt and Uncle are such awesome people. They have the cutest baby boy, and their love and joy from him shine all around them. Thanks guys for letting us capturing the beginning of your family story!

Here are a couple of the shots we grabbed.

Bubbles. Bubbles are always good to take on shoots with todlers, they are memorised by them. That is my free tip to you ;) You did good for your fist family/kiddo shoot! He is a cutie pie!!!
