Happy Easter! April 8, 2012
Posted by Emily in : Children , trackbackHappy Easter! I was feeling slightly guilty this weekend because I hardly every photograph my own kids (well, does the iPhone count? I photograph them with that super high quality camera all the time!) and by hardly ever, I mean never.
I decided to take a few pictures of them in their new Easter outfits that the Easter Bunny brought. Dallin wasn’t too thrilled, but I promised him candy that I’m pretty sure I never gave him. (Yeah, I’m that put together this weekend!)
As we started shooting, I realized again why I never photograph my own kids . . .
ANXIETY ATTACK.
Photographing your own kids is stressful! Hannah is easy enough, but get two kids together and all they want to do is dance, and listening is not one of their special talents! After a highly stressful 10 minute session (I was lucky to get that!) this is what we got.
I called for help with a light check before we started shooting (so I could test the power and exposure of my strobes, the shadows, and overall lighting before I starting photographing the little people who have the attention span of a gnat) and who came to help? That’s right, my dog Paris.
She is the best dog ever. Even in her twilight years, she heard me call out for something and she was right there. Well, it’s not too much of a stretch for her since she is usually on my heel about 90% of the day. I think she was sorely disappointed she had to sit still for a few takes, but I did promise her a treat and I remembered to give her one!
Happy Easter everyone!

It is so stressful to do photos of your own kids because they should know BETTER and just listen and get it over with. For 10 minutes you all did great!! Your kids are darling.
Thanks Cheryl! After 10 minutes of TOTAL STRESS, I took the rest of the night off just to decompress!
