The three-year-old window.

When working with a three year old…there is always a window…if you blink…it’s over.

This is Chloe…she is a spunky three-year old who loves the camera and I LOVED taking photos of her last November.


We started strong…she posed…trying to put her foot up against the wall (adorable) and was what we say in Spanish- Pura modela (pure model) Note: I am in Colombia right now so my mind is thinking Spanish.


Once the window of time was up...we knew it was time to change it up.



It was uncomfortably cold for the poor little Nena (once again…Spanish on the brain) So, we had to pull out the good old bag of tricks…TICKLE MONSTER.


Play into her “DOGGY GAME”


“Don’t you dare give me a smile”- REVERSE PSYCHOLOGY...


Then through the viewfinder I saw this look. Her face in this last photo is telling me everything… it was time…the window was gone.
