Davis County Utah Photographer- Mother's Day Minis

Adding another kid to the mix of things never makes things like pictures easier but chaos bring different types of beauty and fun to pictures. As a mom to three little kids, I understand the stress of taking time, money and energy to try and achieve optimal family pictures. But let me tell you how much pictures come to life when you lower your expectations. We drove over an hour to this spot to swap pictures with a friend and her baby. Lottie started with all the symptoms of an ear infection (runny nose, fussiness, etc.), my older two were fighting and getting dirty in the dirt in this field, it was way more windy than I thought which of course made it colder. However, I love these pictures so much.

First off when babies are fussy, you can distract and angle things in a way that won’t show their grumpiness. And if your kids have short attention spans just keep moving and try different things with them. Sit, stand, walk, hug kids, let them run towards you.

Not everything has to go smoothly or perfectly for the results to still be great. Remember to just embrace it and love you kids when getting your pictures taken!
