St. Louis Children’s Photography.

This little one was a bit fussy when we started to shoot. Although you’d never know it by the smile on the first photo! Here’s the secret…

Not my secret, but her Mom & Dad’s. A hair dryer. Yes, that’s right, a hair dryer. As I was setting up the first shot, and rubbing her back a little trying to get her relaxed, her Dad looks over at Mom and says, “Should I go get the hair dryer.” The what? I was thinking. He came back, turned on the loud hair dryer, pointed her way, and instantly she stopped fussing and calmed to sleep. Amazing! I don’t know that I’ll be packing a hair dryer in my camera bag… but just thought I should share that little secret for any parents looking to “try anything” : )

Now on with the photos…
