Paul Wendl’s Photography Blog

Ok, I will have to say that photographing babies at this age 10 months can be difficult at some times.  Not only did we have to content with potential bad weather we had to hope that she did experience the separation anxiety and the session taking 3 hours;o)  She did awesome and never missed a smile.  She did so well I think we did the entire photography session in about 30 minutes.  At this age and up I like to keep things simple with great lighting and bring out the personality of the child.

I’ve found in my 8 plus years in photographing infants, babies and children you are on their time schedule.  Nothing I love better is when a mother brings a baby or child in for photography and they say oh this is going to be a tough one or she is very shy and I’m not sure how its going to go?  That is the reason I love to photograph children.  Although they think they are scared or shy or introverted…they all react to simple nurturing.  I’ve maybe had to reschedule less than 6 sessions in the time I’ve been photographing children and most of those times the child was either sick or just having a bad day;o(  I love children and love to photograph them.  I sometimes think I get as much joy photographing their child as the parents do.  Not only are adults put on this earth to help each other so are these little ones.  And their is no better compliment than to hear a parent say that sure is my child in those photographs.
