You know how sometimes you get something new and you just can’t wait to try it out? You buy a new sling, and your child is up on your back the minute its out of the packaging, that type of thing. Well this week has been a bit like that for me!
As many of you who follow my Instagram will know (if you don’t, you can follow me here) I have been building myself a raft! I put the finishing touches to it this week, and couldn’t resist taking it out for a test run using my toddler as my model.
It started off well. Beautiful sky, gorgeous light. I was so excited as I set up and got my son changed.
But things just don’t often go to plan do they?!
This pretty much sums up the first half of the session. He wasn’t happy. At all. He was cold. But he didn’t want his cardi on. He didn’t want cuddles. He didn’t want to wear the hat, or play with the shells. Or even sit on the raft. These models, they’re such divas haha.
But we had a chat, Daddy acted silly, we promised him ice cream, and I finally got some shots I could work with.
I’m absolutely loving this prop. And having some gorgeous photos of my camera-shy little dude is a very welcome bonus!
The raft can be used for newborns as well as sitting babies and toddlers. So if you would like this incorporated into your session, just let me know when you book 🙂
