Behind the Scenes

Yes, I've been terrible about posting. It's been two whole months since the last time I posted and it feels like the blink of an eye. Here I am, though. I've been spending my time dabbling in some amateur photography in order to have better pictures for my Etsy shop. I have a built in model in my daughter as she has fantastic hair for modeling (unlike me, ha!).

Taking pictures with a 4-year-old, though, is definitely not always easy and there are many (MANY) instances of unusable pictures. I have to take 300 pictures to get 20 usable ones most of the time, so I thought it might be fun to share some of these fails with you.

Let's see... first there was the park:

Getting ready... and yes, her socks don't match. One is taller than the other. Shh...

Often we have to resort to candy as a bribe.  Today it's an Elsa PEZ dispenser and lemon PEZ.

Whenever she gets the chance to strike a silly pose she takes it!

Then there was the beach:

Tripping over a driftwood log.

Not at all impressed.

Taking pictures with a toddler is always an adventure for sure! I don't know how professional photographers do it.  Tomorrow I will post the better shots I got and show you how awesome Photoshop is for just a little editing. I just discovered it and I can totally see what all the hype is about.
