this image makes me GIDDY!!!!!!!
trick #1...run at the family like a wild woman making weird noises and then retreat. Do this about seven times so they smile at you in anticipation for the next time. :) (it's a good think I have no pride)

trick #2...have the kids hold onto something. This keeps them still for about .000004 seconds


trick #3...just let them run around at will so they don't feel like you're making them be still (a toddlers worst nightmare) side note...it's best to do this away from hard, metal objects like this bridge because a run away toddler might do a face plant right into the side of the bridge (oops)

trick #4...suspend the children in mid-air so they can't run away. (they love this trick as much as I do)

Love your tricks!! And these little guys are too cute!
Wonderful! I love hearing the back story on the first photo! Thanks for sharing your bag of tricks.
These are fabulous! Love that first shot, and your tricks are great!
My favorites are the ones of just the kids, especially the ones of them running away! I also love how this family is dressed!
Bravo Cindi! After a month of photographing quite a few toddlers I am in need of a few more tricks for sure. I love the toddler age, but boy do they make you work for it, don't they?
Absolutely stunning work as usual - and a gorgeous family to boot!
They are so cute!! I adore that running over the bridge shot!
Great shots and I applaud your 'get'em smiling' skills.
I love how you caught the kids in action here! Beautiful family captures!
I love the bridge shot, such great action. Nice tips, too.
