HEATHER WILKINSON | Photographer

When it comes to photographing young children & babies, there really is no game plan.  Some children love the process and have all kinds of ideas for posing.  Some children spitefully don’t want to give their parents those great images that they are hoping for, and by “some children” I am directly referring to MY son.  And then sometimes, some of them are just kind of unsure of the whole idea.  I had a little mixture the other day with Cece & Theo.  As you’ll see here, CeCe was rather into it….

Theo’s mama brought a bow-tie for him to wear, and at first, he seemed neutral about it…
And then, we started to get the sense that he wasn’t really feelin’ it anymore…
And then neutral again…
Although similar expressions, not really what we were hoping for….  =)
This girl kept cracking me up by saying things like, “Ohh, that’s hysterical.”
Theo here, he’s an independent fella.  He felt a little better propped up on his own without the help of his sister.

Here are a couple of my favourites from a quick evening session with the Culberson family last week.  They will soon be tearing down their old barn since they’re building a new one, so they wanted to use it as their backdrop…
