How I photograph my 2 year old...


How do I manage to photograph my BUSY two year old you ask?
Simple.
I grab her attention long enough to snap a few shots with CANDY!

Yep, I'm THAT Momma that resorts to bribery! 

And today I am letting you in behind the scenes of our most recent photoshoot...
{typically I crop the bribery tools OUT of my pictures}

Whatever works is my philosophy.
shirt: Old Navy
leggings: Children's Place
shoes: Toms
headband: Queen Bee Barrette 


and THAT is a mouth full of Jelly Bellies...

Peek a BOO

    Aww so cute. I'd resort to candy, too! The girl I babysit gets a chocolate chip if she goes "pee pee on her potty" (: works like a charm

    I have an almost 2 yr old and photographing her is WORK! That's funny that you have jelly beans for her because I just bought a bag today to bribe her for our next "shoot" :)
