Bennett Cousin Sneak Peek

These cousins had a wonderful time capturing photos all together for their Oma! The moms and grandmother were a wonderful help as we wrangled toddlers and coaxed smiles, and I’d say it was a great success to have all three kids together for such special pictures.

The ladies had coordinated on starting with the wooden background with a few rustic props. Their grandmother had even brought her custom sign that read “Oma and Opa’s Cousin Camp” which provided the perfect touch. The kids did a great job holding the sign, and then I brought out my wooden blocks for them to build together and to capture the fast moving toddler for a few pictures.

We even were able to take a few sibling images of brother and sister, plus individuals of each kid against several of the backgrounds.

With the grey setting, we tried to get a picture of all kids standing together, and I admit I had to employ my best master photographer/mom tactics, which is to focus on each kid individually while keeping track of the images. Then combining the best of all three together to create that magical and desired “cousin standing photo.”

The kids were still doing such a great job we opted for a chance at a final background with curtains and let the oldest show a picture book to his cousins. In all honesty, those were some of the most magical photos, where they all sat together calmly, then each was allowed their snuggly blanket or to sit on the pillows as we truly captured the most genuine smiles of the day.

A huge thanks to the moms/Oma’s that helped get all these kids together and wrangle them so I could keep my camera ready. It was a great success!
