It takes some persuasion to get some small kids to laugh, or even just to smile. This little girl was quite shy when she came into our studio, and her mother warned us that she has had a photo shoot before, with no success, and no smiles came from little one.

We bribed her a little and joked with her about her sweet toys she brought with, one of them being a lovely ragdoll which was about as big as she is. With some friendly energy from our side, this little girl brought forth the most stunning smiles, and we had such a great time with her in the studio, her mother was in utter awe at what we were able to achieve with her 5-year old.

The studio should be no bad experience for any child, and we understand that all children differ, and that some will smile quite easily, and some struggle a bit, needing some persuasion. Children, are just kids after all, and respond well to tickles, and our shell full of plastic balls we keep in the studio, the best tool we have to get kids to laugh, it works wonders.

Being a photographer, is all about connecting with people, and we aim to do that every time, any client walks in here, regardless if it’s for a family shoot, a modeling shoot, or any other. Our clients are what make us a business, but they also feel like, and become our family.
