Friends and Photos

Sometimes I like to scout and shoot a location before I take a client just to get my gears turning or my light dialed in or to check out different angles. I also needed to take updated photos of my kids or I was going to have a grandma mutiny on my hands. Believe me, as much as my kids are used to me taking their pics, they do not enjoy it. They give me a hard time. And forget about them looking at me at the same time. I usually end up losing my mind and threatening the end of all electronic fun forever.

In an attempt to avoid the usual calamity that becomes our photo sessions, I invited a few friends to join us. We joined up in South Corona and tried not get all dirty and disheveled before I took everyone’s photo. However, there were a few tree branches that were carried around the corner and lots of dirt was that dug. It felt a lot like herding cats because they all saw it as a play date. But I got the job done. All I needed was a group photo of my kids and an individual of each…and that’s about all I got. Thankfully, this stunt got me off the grandma naughty list for the year. And I think my friends were happy too.

So the next time you want to take your child’s photo, remember friends and photos are way more fun.

Well, she likes to have her picture taken.

Our friends….

Yeah, I’m kinda funny.

Someone’s got a sour puss.

He can’t resist me for long.
