I know that there was a hand motion to get him said I just don't know what it was hey john I need to get a light meter and I could just hide behind it ok you hide behind it well photoshopped legs if we need to oh no wakened just well if we want to get back in there we don't have to though would you s...

ay five hundred five six waken in it ok that may or may not work otherwise we could just let him we can't just let him tio okay try it this's is this huntley family this is ben lee frankly why did I yeah okay jai you know what let's just try this let's just try no chair I think that's a bit much maybe what make sure that doesn't go back brinkley jumps up I don't I'm not necessarily sold like we have to have the chair so well you know what actually dad's here it might work I was just going to try or actually now if we both a bomb that um probably since he's a little bit bigger maybe he can sit and get her up here yeah I just make sure it doesn't tip so come on I'm kind of with the angle here oh my gosh you're just accepting yeah okay so that I'm seeing if we can make I'm peeing sitting like right here okay this's just like yesterday's session did you want to come make the dogs do you want to get the dog so I'm actually I like sitting up right now okay come right over here we're gonna make the dogs look like dogs look like I'm look at you you can call him oh yeah blaine down's fine okay so I need um hold on we're gonna have the here well they come running at me if I screwed something stay if I tell him to stay with him okay okay I'm just trying to put there maybe put their tongues in the mouth or talked their heads so I've got this well, there we go okay, that no, I got what I needed. I got what I needed let's do this so that's how it normally works actually, if you guys saw that they stopped just a second but the heads up tongues in the mouth um, so we're gonna actually try to use this so I mean it's beautiful out here I buy no wings would have to add anything to this environment but for sake of showing you guys I definitely have brought we're keeps him different drugs or I talked about like, the bedspreads or backdrops that you can actually have somebody hold or if you had background stands I haven't really done that outside but make a background outside if you want it to look like a studio and also sometimes I'll shoot it purposefully we'll bring like my tin wall outside and have the grass in the shot so it looks purposeful that you have the grass floor and the background so I'm just envisioning maybe a shot of the dogs or if if karen's out here even curren with the two dogs would be really nice um okay, that would be actually maybe two we didn't get her with with with them, so that might be a nice way to do that, so I do need a couple of people to be a background people we're gonna we'll just see I I'm not I just opened this up for the first time so um oh ok ok, so we're gonna just want to get it straight so we want on the ground though so I don't know we'll just see how this will work and typically I'd want this ford a little bit so we wanted to look like drywall so we I don't really want much of a gap um much of a gap which I don't even remember, huh? Five six okay, so karen, I'm envisioning you this time I will probably start to take shoes off, but I'm envisioning you this time sitting forward in the chair and snuggling one of the dogs and then, um whoever you don't have is kind of laying down or sitting next to you so okay? And then the other shot after this I'm gonna do is actually way can either go back down with a ladder, bro, if someone wants to bring the ladder up is the shot above just of the adult dogs and the rug is the background so I'm envisioning right there you can put a leg over actually would even be possibly maybe maybe not no yeah that's actually cute are kind of like that that's cute and then we're going to bring frankly, no, I'm sorry, yeah huntley um scoot over a little further back for me and I don't want you here we go I just yet because the background we're working with sire your arm's killing you you can heathen dropped for a second if you want okay I love your legs yup does soak you okay can you um yep let's try this hold on see what we got going on here beautiful okay karen that is gorgeous you know what lighting wise I need a reflector or something for current and her face yeah because we're yeah I liked it out was kind of cute you can drop the background if you want for a second sorry you don't know you're gonna get your workout today so um so currently up you're gonna turn your face towards john a little bit see if we can get any light in her eyes a little bit how shiny that is yeah oh yeah yeah yeah there we go beautiful no no no you're fine yet you're fine you can even get a little closer you could even get a little closer try to get as close as you can to get that light right pop it in her eyes beautiful okay gorgeous current loving the puppies I love it it's beautiful pulled on looking right up at me again gorgeous smiles that's really fun that's pretty can you guys take make the top of that tighter that's actually the area I'm working with the most and then lowered a little bit sorry right there okay you know what I need thio here I'll give you this that worked really well for them turn your face a little more to your left karen uh that's okay, I know where did you doing a lot of things okay and then you kind of laying kind of lean on him you're kind of snuggling and laying on your dogs I love it perfect I love it fun looking at him interact with them a little bit maybe oh that's right let's lose let's lose the rog and just get this shot without the rug I know you'll be happy to drop that rug okay.
