The Photographer's Kids!



You know those moments as parents where you freak out right before your creation session, everything flashes through your brain from...
Do your socks match, don't drop anything on that shirt, you are going to smile if it kills you, don't touch your sister....LOL!!! Ok, seriously not all that but if we are taking the time to capture our families moments we "WANT" them perfect. I can handle any child but my own without stress, flash forward to my recent family pictures...
We are on the beach, the wind is 15+ mph, the last session of the trip is my own, West has his resort band on his arm and says..."don't worry mom I took care of my arm in the picture". I should have known to be worried, but NOOOOO, I wait until home to look close at the images of our family. He has tucked his arm into his shirt, it's completely MISSING from his body. I laughed so hard I cried, needless to say that will be getting enlarged just so I can enjoy that moment of innocence when they think they did something big. Just had to share that even us photographers have impaired "posed" family photos in our albums.

Gretchen, you crack me up! Great story about West "hiding" his arm. I think you should use that pic for your 2007 Christmas card. :-) Hope all is well with you!
