Photographing A Photographer's Granddaughter

Why is it that my child is the hardest to photograph? I had imagined the most beautiful newborn portraits while I was pregnant that I would have done of her after she was born. Maybe my expectations were too high, who knows?

She also peed on the background not once, but twice. Seriously, does she not know this is our business? I had to have a pow wow with her. We were finally able to get some sweet pictures but either her diaper had to be on, or she had to be covered up! I never understood the stress of the mom's bringing their children in to be photographed until I became a mommy. I now COMPLETELY understand! :)
