We just loved the Bogatsu family! They had such fun, and their little one was an extremely friendly 2-year old, with a dashing smile, and lots of giggles. It’s not always that we get this lucky, as little people rule the world, and when they do not feel like smiling, they will certainly not. Still, it is very much the photographer’s responsibility to engage with your clients. Most people are not inherently comfortable in front of the camera, and could feel very overwhelmed when they get on the big white backdrop.

But when you talk to them some, and get them to open a bit about their family life and the unique dynamic that makes their family them, most people feel a bit more familiar with you, and great images start to happen. With our shoots we aim to always have magic happen in front of our eyes, and there is few things as precious as a little kid giving their ear-to-ear smile, and you know it’s earnest and sincere, because small children give the world their honest selves.

We’ll always try and make your family feel comfortable, and show you that our shoots, is a fun experience, something you’ll remember in years to come, and we’ll do everything but about stand on our heads to get our little people to give us some smiles.
