I had the honor of photographing a lifelong friend and her family a few weeks ago in her in-laws stunning backyard and learned a ton in the process of wrangler a toddler, two dogs and having a ball! I've known Jenna since I was five and she was three, she's like another sister and someone I value in the highest sense in my life. Matt and Jenna met at the best school ever (Cal Poly, SLO) and created an adorable tiny human roughly two years ago and will have another Miss Thang gracing us with her presence very soon! I learn a ton every time I photograph someone which is why I'm so lucky that my friends let me practice on them - this time was no exception. I learned that toddlers and dogs are tough, really tough - like pick one and go with that, doing both is quite the challenge. I learned that ice cream WITH sprinkles is the ultimate bribe. And I learned that my husband is a most excellent prop assistant when prepped for the tasks at hand. I also learned that after a toddler has had ice cream WITH sprinkles, she will want to play and pose with all the props she previously did not want any part of. Lessons Learned.
Check out some of my favorite moments from the day!
