Now That's a Tongue Twister

Children can be quirky.  I remember taking my oldest son to have his one year portraits done and using a baseball mit and ball as props.  He was so excited about that ball that he would raise and lower his hand repeatedly, pretending to throw the ball, and bouncing in place.  All the pictures with that baseball are in motion (or of him trying to eat the ball)!  Similarly, with my youngest, we had "naked baby" pictures done when he was about four months old.  He would not leave the sheet covering his lower half in place for anything.  It took five minutes to get him to leave it in place.  I will forever remember those portrait sessions because my children's silliness was captured in photographs. 

Last week we had a cute baby girl come into our studio who was photographed by Ryan.  Teagun is a 9 month old little sweetie.  In almost all of her shots she would roll her tongue and stick it out of her mouth, just slightly.  It was her "signature" look and was absolutely adorable!  Check out a few of her images...

Does your child have a quirk or a signature move they do regularly?  So many times we want for our kids to have that "perfect" look for portraits, but also capturing those fun moments when they are being silly is a great memory maker.  You will be sure to look back on those pictures and smile, remembering those special moments.
