Bloopers
I've heard before "you make it look so easy" regarding photography. I appreciate the compliment, but always allow myself a chuckle. Because sometimes it is really, really easy. The light cooperates, the subject cooperates, and all of the stars align for that perfect shoot. But the other 99% of the time is a good mixture of creativity, patience, and of course, editing! These pictures are from a recent shoot from a family I am great friends with. I have photographed these kids since the oldest was a newborn and always have a good time on their shoots. This particular shoot produced some really great shots (coming later), but also some really funny bloopers. So (with permission), I thought I would share some of the shots that won't make it in the final album--but DO keep me cracking up and loving my job.
One smiling, one silly...

Look at the camera...

Is she sure we won't float away?...

Three-year-old smiles...

Pretty much done with smiling now...

Those are SO awesome! Shoot, some of them are ones that I would prob. actually want if those were my kids---because of them being themselves and silly too! Their facial expressions are priceless in these!
I think these actually show my kids and their personalities the best! :) The 2nd to the last one is a face we rarely see, but you can trace back to his 3 month pictures. I love them, the bloopers and the "real" ones.
I absolutely love these!! Of course, I am a bit biased toward the subjects ;) And the serious ones were beautifully done as well.
