Zan & Rania - Feb 2008

This was my first time shooting little kids and I was understandably nervous for as we all know, children and especially little babies can be pretty unpredictable and moody. However, this brother and sister duo were extremely responsive, thoroughly fun and absolutely adorable to photograph!

I had the little baby boy Zan situated on a fluffy white rug which he was obsessed with pulling and eating as he was teething at the time. The little girl was a bit more challenging as she was a little 'prima donna' and wanted all of the spot light! She was also just too cute for words in her little red ballerina tutu and her cargo pants!

I had the parents bring the kids favorite toys, not only to distract but also to incorporate into the composition of the portraits. This made for a nice memorable shot!

Overall the shoot was very successful and everyone involved from the photographer (me), parents, & kids had a blast!
