Because everyone's entitled to a bad day...MD baby portraits

In the years I have been photographing babies and kids, I have learned quite a few tricks to eeking out nice images of even the grumpiest of subjects. But I have also learned to know when it's time to cut things short and try again another day.

This session was one of those. Little Maitland here was not thrilled with her visit to the studio the first time. It seems she was just too tired to put up with all my silliness, and she let us know in no uncertain terms that she was DONE. Unfortunately, she was "done" before I was, so I invited her to come back another day. Look at the difference! I'm so thrilled, because the images from the second shoot show her truly sunny personality (not to mention some awesomely squeezeable thighs!)
