Ed + Ashley + Annika — At Home

This little lady gave us a real run for our money this year, but I’ve never met a threenager I couldn’t out-stubborn, so we eventually got there. ;)

The first attempt was at the studio and we managed one photo before Annika completely crashed and fell fast asleep on the studio couch. Rather than push her over the edge after waking up from a too-short nap we decided to just try again a different day at their house. When I showed up Annika completely refused to wear clothes 90% of the time, proving that our negotiations weren’t quite over. After a little while we finally coaxed her into a shirt with the promise of a cupcake and some singing and then even managed a pair of pants that she quickly traded in for a pair of shorts, but we’re calling it a win all around!
