This toddler has PCS or what is commonly known as Photographer's Child Syndrome. Symptoms of this syndrome include but are not limited to expressions of "are we done yet?", "not again!" and most common, "No More Pictures!". Sadly, the only cure for this syndrome is promises of fruit snacks and other goodies. Taken at a playdate/ photo session with another photographer friend.

Mr. R's Sneak Peek

2008-01-24T16:49:00.001-08:00

Here is a sneak peek from Mr. R's 1st year photo make up shoot. Mom and I learned rather quickly that in order to keep him happy we need to keep his tummy full! Here he is munching on some Goldfishie crackers. I think that he did much better the 2nd time around.
