You Say: Family Portraits
Maybe this scene sounds familiar to you: Your whole family is dressed up, on location, ready to take some great photos, when one of your children decides not to cooperate. Your little one hides her face her in hands, or your son keeps running away. The result is a stressful photo shoot, and the family portraits that come from it are less-than-stellar.
If you can relate, you’re not alone. Little children have minds of their own, and they often choose the exact moment you most want them to cooperate to express their fledgling independence. While some kids love the camera, others run crying from it in fear. What’s a Vancouver mom who wants to capture some memories with great family portraits to do?

We know that you – our fellow Vancouver moms – have a few tricks up your sleeves. You’ve dealt with kids who wouldn’t smile, kids who wouldn’t look at the camera, and kids who refused to sit still.
