Adventures of Photographing a One Year Old
For those MCP readers who have infants and toddlers, you know how challenging it can be photographing a child that crawls fast and is on the verge of walking. My twins are now 8, so it had been a while since having this as a task. When I was visiting family in Atlanta, I had the opportunity to photograph my 1 year old nephew, and I just did a guest post on The Pioneer Woman’s Website, showing some of the details. I hope insight into my experiences is helpful to you.
Just click here or on the photo to read my guest post.

love the new blog!!!!! This post gave me a good chuckle. One year olds are challenging – until they first start learning to walk, then they are so new at it, and slow that you can often get a good shot. Right before that, they are such experienced cruisers it is nearly impossible.
