Getting the right picture
Filed under: Blog Posts
I had to take the kids last week to get their photos done for the Christmas card's which were supposed to be mailed back the UK about a week ago (better late then never).
I always get excited at the thought of having my children photographed professionally, and I always end up cringing in the corner at how they behave in the studio - Luckily the photographer knows me and the children as she did the photography for my website; just as well otherwise I'm sure she after last weeks session she would never have me back.
My son is a poser and knows all the moves which means that he wants to be in every shot and when he's not in front of the camera he is pouting and trying to pull down the back drop, throwing props around and knocking the equipment over. Kenya is not as keen and pulls a strange face everytime the flash goes off followed by a bout of crying. She spent most of the session moaning and groaning she (and I) had been up since 4am that morning administering Tylenol and teething gel for the pain (bless her) and the tooth is in now so the pain has gone (no more night nurse duty till the next one comes in).
Luckily though the proofs were good and there was some excellent shots of the children and me; the photo above is the one that I choose for my Christmas cards this year, and for those of you who tackle this at home here are some tips from Michelle Moore owner and operator of What I see Photography. www.whatisee.ca to capture that perfect shot.
