I don't know if you can tell, but this very photogenic little boy (above) was less than pleased that I was photographing him. This shot was taken in between meltdowns with his mom and sister holding him up in the air in hopes to get at least one good shot of him. The trick to this shot was patience, settings that would compensate for movement, family participation, and a little post production magic. Can't you see the "I just cried, I might cry again" twinkle in his eyes?
Upon delivering the photographs to this beautiful family, he was a little more happy to see me. I look forward to photographing him again sometime soon. Here are a couple more shots from the shoot:

This beautiful girl was a natural in front of my lens. She had the head tilt/shoulder drop combination down, and all I could really say was FIERCE.

My best advice for a squirmy or grumpy toddler is to find something that they like, whether its a silly song, a fun game, or, as a last resort: a tablet.
