I have never been able to take all of my own boys’ photos successfully. Silas is super tough and normally just up and runs away when I get my camera out, so I knew that I needed to plan it out a little bit more today if I wanted a successful shoot.

Here are my tips for what worked:

– do photos right after the baby has been fed

– make sure the kids are well rested (we did photos at 10 AM)

– feed them something with protein before you start so that they aren’t hungry or sugar crashing

– bribe them with candy!!!

– take the photos fast and keep them moving

The stars aligned and I got some ADORABLE pictures of all of the boys. I was so happy!
