If you know me, then you know I love pictures! I think it comes from me not having a lot of pictures of myself when I was a baby/toddler. I blame it our move from Nigeria to America…a lot of things were left behind 😦
To sum it up, I feel that you will get more for your buck with a freelance photographer.
Speaking of Freelance Photography…

It was a must that I packed some toddler must haves for our photoshoot outing, because quite frankly..these little humans are busy little beings!
What I packed for my Toddler for our outside photoshoot:
-The basics (diapers, wipes)
-A change of clothes & shoes (for those “just in case” moments)
-Hair care supplies (comb, extra rubber bands/scrunchies & Olive oil mist)
-Extra hair bows (you can never have enough)
-Various snacks including SKITTLES! I got that idea from my awesome friend Tinnell Sloan’s instagram picture below:

Thank Goodness for Skittles! Thanks to Tinnell for sharing that also! Follow her Instagram page and encourage her to start blogging! She’s the jack of all trades 🙂

Congratulations on baby #2 and I'm so happy for you guys! The pictures are absolutely gorgeous but then it had gorgeous people in them. 🙂 As for Olivia, she is so photogenic, always smiling. I can never get Madison to smile ever. I might have to use that Skittles tip and see if it works. Hope you're having a great weekend my friend!

Thank you so much Mama! I hope that ya'll had a blast during Madison's Birthday Weekend!
When my friend Tinnell shared that the skittles helped her little one, I had to try it because sometimes, Olivia is just not in the smiling/picture mood so i totally understand! Madison is a little cutie & I love all of her pics, smile or no smile lol! Let me know if the skittles helps!

Awww….lovely pictures! Congrats again!
P.s.: God bless child photographers! I don't know how they do it, because I find it very difficult to capture great shots of my own kids! I have a family picture where both my kids had Caprisun or cookies in their hands! Lol! Makes for great memories though…
