My tepee props are very popular and great for little babies that can sit up by themselves as they give them something interesting to interact with while they pose.
When attention spans are short, we work fast and I am always looking for ways to keep things interesting for them as we get the best results when they are happy and engaged. For that reason, I’ve never really understood when photographers market the fact that you’ll be in the studio for up to two hours with a tiny baby (apart from newborns obvs, we need the extra time there). There’s nothing to be gained from stringing things out for anyone, it’s definitely a law of diminishing returns.
When you arrive at the studio, you’ll already have let me have your session options via email so I’ll have everything set up for you in the most efficient order possible so we don’t waste any time. We move from one set up to the next as soon as we feel that we’ve lost the interest of your little one so we keep them happy, give you great variety in your finished image gallery and get you back out to your lives with a baby that has had fun, and had no time to get cranky! Longer sessions aren’t an advantage here, I counted once and I did a fourteen minute session once and there were 80 great images in their finished gallery!
Of course, not all babies are in the mood to play as soon as they arrive and I don’t want you to mistake the concept of working fast with ignoring your baby’s need to settle and feel happy in their environment. I like to keep you as close as possible to them throughout the session to make sure they feel secure, in fact in most images, there’s a parent literally just outside of the shot to keep everything calm!
