Sunday’s shoots: the led family

This was the last one for the weekend. A really lovely, welcoming family. They were even game enough to move the big chair out onto the back lawn for some shots. When I walked in the mom warned me that the older of her two girls was "difficult". She was a great subject for a few minutes and then was just completely DONE. Done with me. Done with my camera. Done with the whole deal.  I would be able to get her back in the groove for a second or two at a time, but as soon as I picked up the camera, she was hysterical again. I know her mom was dissapointed because her older girl was in no way whatsoever going to give us a shot of her and her baby sister together. No way. I did manage to sneak one or two in between tears and cookies. But not the sitting pretty shot. Can’t get them all.

I did manage some great candids. Both girls were sooooo photogenic with those amazing blue eyes. Maybe if I see her again, I can convince her that my camera really isn’t so bad. Img_2075slcp Img_2093sl Img_2104sl Img_2110sl Img_2121sl Img_2268sl Img_2101cbw Img_2157sl
