Mastering Child Photography

I admit, I'm not great at capturing Rowan at her best but I recently figured out that if you talk about stinky feet and poopy during the shoot, you get a lot more smiles! Is that bad?

After Mexican Food Jumping

China Girl

Grandma Ricky and Grandpa Don recently were in San Francisco and picked up this cute dress in China Town.
