The (Perfect!) Portrait of a Lady
Aug 6th, 2009 by Roxana
Being the last child has advantages and disadvantages. The main advantage? Your parents are too tired to apply the boarding school discipline that they tried with your older siblings. The disadvantages? They’re too tired to do any of the fun stuff as well. That includes all the photo shoots that in the case of my sisters are well kept in cute Peter Rabbit photo albums, and in mine are non-existent. But well, who can blame them. After all, photographing children is one of the most difficult things to do: they move, they play around and they get easily bored.
That’s where Judy Host comes into the picture. She knows exactly how to choose the perfect location, poses and activities in order to make your children believe they’re just playing, and not in the process of being captured in that moment for eternity. In my case, it might be a bit late (or too early) to call Judy for advice, but I still have the chance to have my perfect portrait done.
Not to mention, I want to have someone like Clay Blackmore behind the camera, taking care of every detail. While some people believe that pictures take part of your soul, I think it’s a great way to remember the beautiful moments of life (made even more beautiful with the Photoshop post production work!)
So, say cheese!
