People always ask me about photographing my own children and how easy it must be because they have to be so used to it. ummmmmmmmmmm NO!!!!! They are a total nightmare, well that is a little strong but they are TOUGH!! They both charge me, meaning, trips to the "Geney" (Marshfield Hills General store) to get candy, in some cases itunes cards, or I have to be slick and pull out the COUPONS that they give me for Christmas or my birthday. You know the ones I am talking about, the "anything without whining for an hour" type of coupons. I still have a pile of the "do the dishes" and "clean my room" ones. One of my kids was smart and put expiration dates on theirs... SMART! This year, I bought the outfits early, I had already photographed 4 families that weekend but when I looked at my calendar I knew this was my one and only chance to do the session while it was nice and my husband was around..... so we rushed out of the house to try and beat the sun. Craziness!
I put way too much pressure on myself for it and it kinda stunk! :( I made the grave mistake of taking the kids to a super cool place that they wanted to explore, NOT sit and do photos. Do I blame them? Certainly not, should I just chilled and went with the flow? YES! Did I? Not at first. I am sitting here finally now looking at these images 2 mos. later, I love these shots of them being bored, crazy and annoyed. I should have jumped in..... IF I get my cards done this year, a big IF this year, everything came so late and the holiday is coming so fast..... then you may get to see the series of bloopers...... I am still debating if they should make the cards, but these are my kids, the good , the bad and the ugly moments. LOL
Falalalalaaaaaaa la la la laaaaaaaaaa!!!!
