Saturday was photo shoot day for Lottie. Dad had the house to himself as mom was out shopping. The living room quickly became a mock studio as soon as the minivan pulled out of the driveway. Tripod up. Backdrop up. Digital camera ready. 35mm camera ready. Flashes ready. All we needed now was a cooperative child.
Im not sure if all babies enjoy eating cameras as much as ours. As soon as she sees a camera she heads straight to it. "Ah ha!" dad thought! I have two cameras. While she is eating one I will take her picture with the other. This worked for about 10 shots. Then she figured out I was taking pictures with the other one. She would then come crawling over. Not to mention having picutres of her eating a camera was not the type of photo he was going for.
After about 30 minutes dad was exhausted. The black backdrop was useless. She crawled and tugged at it until it came crashing down. The tripod was even more useless. She would use it to stand up then push it over and start laughing. 100 digital shots and two rolls of film later dad was done. All of this for one Christmas card photo! And yes you will have to wait for your Christmas cards to see the final photo. However, here are a couple of random candid shots dad took. If you like these you will love the Christmas shots!

aaah...this is why we are going to be investing in a digital SLR camera this Christmas! Not only will we finally be able to get more than the blurred back of her head as she disappears from the frame, but we'll have sports mode...yep, 5-6 shots per second! I cant wait! I cant believe we have to shoot our daughter in SPORTS MODE!
love the pics...very arty Mike!
Love the Hoppes
Yes, the 35mm DIGITAL SLR is a must have for the holidays. Hint Hint Hint Shelby! I have a great film 35mm if anyone is looking for a deal!
