Sammy wanted this pose . He said “I want a picture without smile”. Pre-teenagers have their personalities, as a photographer we have to work with them, what they like, what music they are into it, this way they can enjoy their session and parents are happy with the results.

"Every child is born blessed with a vivid imagination." ~ Walt Disney. Children see magic in everything because they look for it. As we grow up we stop playing and all the sudden we stop seeing the magic around us. We should remember how to be a child again so we stimulate our creativity and imagination. What do you do to keep your creativity active?

Let’s do this 📸

What do I do when my children don’t want to coop

What do I do when my children don’t want to cooperate when I take their pictures?

Sometimes I have success by just begging, other times by bribing them, and some other times is not that easy.

When I’m inspired and want to take a picture, my motto is: “Whatever it takes to accomplish the goal to get their cooperation! Some of the things that I have done go from blowing bubbles indoor (like in this picture) give them candy, let my daughter play with my makeup, play their favourite songs at a loud volume and of course, BRIBING: give $5 to my 9 year old boy, give them a big ice cream, and seldom times let him be silly and sing songs that have washroom words (which I don’t allow him to use) 🤫🤭😊, but with boys it has yield success. Again, whatever it takes!!! to make them participate joyfully.

At the end they love the results and I always tell them: See, it was worth it 😍 check my stories as well to see more.

I use some of these strategies with my little clients too if parents allows me. 😉 I will not bribe them... I will leave that to the parents.😄

What technique do you use to get those pictures for your own kids or little clients?
I would love to read the stories

I want to be a little girl again.

Lately, I have been thinking of this a lot. I want to be a child again to see the world different, that child that never judge herself, that stopped I appreciate every little thing in nature, animals, flowers, the rain, the sunrise, the sunset. That girl that always played to be a dancer, a superhero, that always used her imagination to create new stories, that loved little surprises.

Recently, I took a workshop with a very creative girl @laraalcantara . She reminded us that we all have an inner child within us – it is our natural personality with our innate instincts, intuition, emotions and specially creativity. As we grow older, the inner adult begins to take over and operate through logic and reasoning. In this reflection, I have been thinking a lot to explore my inner child and attempt to create inner bonding between my inner child and my inner adult. I have promised to try harder.

Now I enjoyed a lot see the world through the eyes of my own kids.

Hello there. Happy Monday. Missing you all.

I haven’t posted in a few weeks, to be honest this lockdown it’s been hard for me, I know that same as me, thousands of photographers and small businesses owners are struggling too.

I read an article last week from @colesclassroom about this and it is perfectly ok to be mad, sad, scared, frustrated, feel like We don’t feel inspired or motivated.

It is important to acknowledge all those feelings, let them wash over all of us to process them and come to a good terms with them.

Here is a piece of that article that stuck in my head and maybe you need to read it as well.

“It can be tempting to tell yourself But so many people have it worse. I’m selfish for feeling this way when it’s so much worse for so many other people. You might be hear this even from a friend or family member.
Your fear or frustration are valid. Just because others ‘have it worse” does not take away from your feelings. Allowing yourself to be mad or sad or scared doesn’t make you ungrateful for what you have; it simply makes you human. You can also be grateful for other things in your life and still experience suffering and pain. Feelings aren’t mutually exclusive.
Your frustration, your fear, your pain…it’s real. Don’t let anyone make you feel bad for grieving the loss of this season and what it means for YOUR business.”

So hang in there, is it OK to feel what you are feeling and acknowledge it to maintain a healthy mind. This shall pass and it wont be like this forever. All of this is happening for a reason, let’s focus on the family, take care of ourselves, try to find an inspiration around us, support one another, take a break from social media if needed, negative distractions don’t help the cause. I’m sure the good times will come again for all of us. 🌅. Photo credit: @jocelynphillipsbranding with @snapclickphotographers meetup back in August.

By this time last year I was making plans for 2020

By this time last year I was making plans for 2020. I had many ideas and goals personally and professionally. I had different sessions and promotions that I wanted to do. Then came Covid-19... I had to stopped it all and reinvent myself to come with new ideas. The gathering regulations didn’t help but I was able to adapt and continue with business under the new normal.
I didn’t have plans for indoor Christmas sessions as I couldn’t foresee how the regulations were going to change.
I had a few frequent customers that called me to do Last Minute Christmas sessions, I thought about it for a few days and decided to do them last week in a safe way. I am glad I did as I was inspired again to continue with my work during these unprecedented times.
I can proudly say my customers are my personal motivators to continue working for my dreams! #christmassessions #familysessions
