Children's Party

Shooting children is not easy. Not all photographers have the charm nor the patience to make children, especially those in the preschool age and below, to smile for the camera, much less stay still for it. When there are children involved, it is always best to expect the unexpected.

That's why I always feel like I am at a children's party whenever I go to a Smart Parenting shoot. There are any number of kids involved. There's lots of food. And there will be, at one point or another, some child who will start crying or go running around. As every mom knows, kids never stay put in one place.





Here, I am talking with Arkin and Clara in this really cool chair. The two are just sweet and adorable.





Shooting out of doors is always fun as it gives the kids a chance to move around. Here, we take shots of Christine and her kids at a playground just outside their home.





Claudine, Carmina, and Jodi with their kids trying to say cheese all together now! Believe me, there were a lot of takes before our photographer got to get everyone to give their best smile all at the same time!





Photog A is great with kids because he knows how to goof off like them.





B in paparazzi mode. I love his Heroes shirt, which he got for only P100 at Shopwise! Must go!





J giving cues to the kiddies.





M's kids dropped by for a quick visit. Baby R is so cute, and I just managed to catch B in the picture.





What's a party without the food? At an SP shoot, apart from some pasta and pizza, there's always empanada from Red Ribbon. Yummy!






And here is the finished product. Out now! :)
