orange county family photographerFamily Photographer Orange County // Timing is everything

I love when we can add things into a photo session that make it exciting!  This time, it was these amazing vintage bikes.  The twins had received them as a gift, so their mom so kindly lugged them out to the park so we could play around with them.  I love how they bring such brilliant smiles to the children’s faces.

Of course, with a session like this we start with the family portraits and all the necessary things.  Then at the very end we bring out the bikes.  It’s funny how you don’t think of things like this until you’re a mom or until you’ve had it happen to you as a photographer.  If you bring out the ‘fun thing’ and let them play, then say, now we’re going to sit down for some photos, you’ll be greeted with a hearty, ‘no thank you.’

Timing is everything!
