My January Boys!

I had the privilege of shooting 4 little gents this last week. It was quite a day. Most photographers only show you the great stuff and make it look easy. Well I thought I would show you a couple of bloopers (with moms permission of course.) Sometimes I get the perfect subject who loves the camera, more often I get the child who hates the camera and only wants mommy. So whats a photographer to do? That's when my little embarrassing routine starts. It might be the Elmo song, badly impersonated voices from other cartoons, the Wrong rendition of twinkle twinkle, peek a boo, or any odd sound that my mouth can create. All to get a little smile or some sort of break in the grumps. All this to say it's not always as easy as it looks. One of the many great reasons why you stay with the same photographer who becomes familiar with your family. (That's my little marketing piece.)

Somehow we still got this. Little brother below loved the camera!



This little cutie didn't give me a smile until 50 minutes into the shoot. But he almost cracked here. Pretty sure I was singing the Elmo song.



Little Cameron is a natural. Love those eyes!The only downfall to having clients that are teething... they chew your props!



* Reminder to all fall 2008 clients, your web gallery's will be removed by the end of next week. If you haven't finished placing your orders get them in before those pictures are archeived. Have a wonderful Valentines!!
