Truce
Seriously, you all rock! Thank you for the great ideas for recipes! Keep them coming!
So, Brayden and I had a serious talk this morning and we’re calling a truce. We’re going to be nice to each other today. He even offered to pose for a few pictures this morning. What a nice boy!
PS The tip to getting a 1 year old to sit still for a couple of minutes is that you have to contain them. For these pictures I used our old Bumbo. He doesn’t really fit in it anymore and can get out, but it works wonders to get him to sit for 2 minutes. And really, 2 minutes is all you get so work fast! You can see the Bumbo in this picture.
You can get creative with it and incorporate whatever you use to contain them into the picture. You can use a wagon, a bin that holds their toys, a laundry basket, a big comfy arm chair. You see lots of pictures of Brayden in his high chair because it works well too!
K, I’m off to change a poopy diaper. Ah, the glamorous life of being a mommy 
Happy Friday everyone!

I’ve started this blog as a way to connect with other moms who love photography. Whether you are a professional photographer who is looking for advice on how to manage your own business and your family or if you are a mom who is looking for tips on how to take better pictures of your kids, I hope that you can find some good information and be inspired!
So glad a truce has been called. Amazing pictures of my little man! You’re the best, I definately am the luckiest dad/husband in the world. Love you mama.
How do you get such crystal clear shots of Brayden’s eyes? My 5-month old has the most amazing eyes but my shots never do them justice! Are they that clear in camera or is it special post-editing?
I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE this blog by the way! I have been taking pictures for a couple years, recently invested in a 5D, and my husband and I are in the works of starting a business, hopefully! This blog is awesome for mommy stuff and for photography… my two favorite subjects!
Oh My Gosh!! His eyes are AMAZING!!! Love you blog, thanks for all the great tips!
Yeah, I changed one of those today and realized why I don’t have kids just yet! I always tell J I want to be a momtog but the poopy diapers don’t entice me! Ha ha. Using the bumbo is absolutely genius.
Ashley’s last blog post..I just.can’t help myself
i agree with chuck. i find that in many of your pictures, the eyes are so sparkly and crystal clear. is there a special secret you have for that? or are brayden’s eyes just that perfect?
you have such a beautiful son. his smile is contagious!
