Many people do (me included) and we often come across shy children and parents. There’s two things to remember really.. 1. you’re not alone, 2. we see it all the time.

The main reason we allow so long for a photoshoot is to allow your party time to relax and enjoy the session. There’s plenty of good tea and biscuits for the grown ups and toys and sweets (read: bribes) for the children. For all it might seem like a chore and you might feel like you’re “not doing it right” we’re only looking for the occasional half a second where everything looks and feels right. We’ve got a huge amount of experience from photographing toddlers of when to pull the trigger!

There’s no need to fret about coming in and wasting our time, or to get frustrated because your 2 year old won’t play ball.. 99.9% of the time, we’ll be absolutely fine and so will the finished images.
