1.5 years old + Smarties | Lake Stevens Family Photographer

The best way to convince a wild, spunky toddler to cooperate? Smarties! They are small, travel well and aren’t messy. Not to mention the fact that children go after them like they a compressed bits of sunshine and rainbows!

This is Emma. You may recognize her from her one year photos and her awesome cake smash last spring. Our session started as any other; about 10-15 minutes of shyness and clinging to momma. Then, I offered her some fruit snacks which must be this little girl’s form of currency! Worked like a charm and she was literally eating out of the palm of my hand and more than ready for her close up. I’ll have you know, she was justly rewarded for her efforts with a smartie candy necklace. Great job, baby girl!
