It’s Hard To Be A Kid Sometimes

Alyssa Govea January 15, 2021

As cute as the kiddos may be, don’t forget that they have tough and bad days too! Sometimes it’s hard to get a smile or a laugh out of them. There are times where the kids are cranky, don’t want to be away from mom and dad, or are cautious or shy since they don’t know the photographer or assistant. We’ll do our best to work with your family to get those smiles and laughs out. It may take just a good tickle from a family member, it may take a break, it may take a different pose or setting. Remember a good night sleep or nap, a meal or snack, water, and diaper change can all help too! Bringing a favorite toy and putting on their favorite song or show might help as well!

To A New Year!

Alyssa Govea January 9, 2021

Happy New Year! We hope everyone had fun this holiday season, and still got to celebrate together some way safe despite the virus. We got a little bit of a break here at the studio to enjoy the holidays too. We were also able to reflect back on this unusual and unprecedented year. As difficult as things have been with shut downs, restrictions, and unknowns we are truly grateful and thankful to all of you that have kept our small business going and staying afloat. We can’t do this without all of you, so again, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your continued support. We are extremely appreciative to capture your families, children, and special moments, and we hope to continue to have that opportunity. We hope this year is better than last and wish all of you a great year.
