Makenna: 1 year | Franklin TN baby photographer

This sweet girl was the big winner from my 2013 Client Favorites contest. Her mama ran quite the campaign to get votes and succeeded! Their prize was a free mini session, which we had today. That contest was so much fun and got a great response from all of you! I definitely plan on doing it again this year.

Miss Makenna was not giving away smiles today. Nope. She was bound and determined to make us work for it– and so we did!  I know parents sometimes get nervous when this happens. Trust me, I’ve been in your shoes!  I feel pretty comfortable about knowing when I’ve captured the shots I need, so I always continue to shoot until we have reached that point.  At some sessions, that may happen pretty quickly if things are just clicking.  At others, we might need to take a little more time.  That is ok!  Children are unique, so we have to respond to them accordingly.

Getting to spend a lot of our session playing instruments is what made Makenna happy. That makes a lot of sense, though, because her daddy is a musician. You may remember how we put her in his guitar case for her 6 month shoot.  Wait– what am I talking about?  Of course you know that photo since it was the one that won the contest!
