It’s hard enough to get a grown person to be patient during a photo shoot. Children can be even more challenging, and babies are probably the most difficult subjects of all. How do you explain to that tired, hungry, wiggly baby that if they can be still or not cry for just one more picture, it’ll all be over? Let’s not forget the parents. They can be tired and grumpy too, but they want the best picture they can get of their little bundle of joy.
