On-Location Shoot: Mother and Children
Guys, we're gonna play just a little bit on the heavy. Sit on some of my fund chairs, and we have these grates. My name is vicki. Can he do you ever like to go barefoot? I love seeing your toast. Do you like to play barefoot? I loved to be barefoot too. Do you love that? You love the puppies? Do you like to play with, um, do you have a favorite one teller? Who's? Your favorite puppy cookie? Yeah. One of the puppy's name is cookie down. That is such a great name. Awesome. Wonderful. You mooned one luke cooked cookie dough on luke that it's so much fine and so it's bo and oh, in ok, so family all we're going to dio I'm actually going toe try a couple shots just with them together, maybe by theirselves. And then I'm gonna add you. Maybe I actually start with you in it. That might be better to start there. And then we'll remove you and at the at the kids in um, in fact, what I'm gonna probably have you dio and what I'm gonna have mom dio I have the feather duster. I kept referring to that ...
I use in shoots with kids puppies or not um that were kind of kind of used for a fun little game interaction to get some fun shots of the boys. So what you'll see what's gonna happen, but I'm gonna kind of tickle him, get him laughing and just kind of play back and forth. But when you're out of the shot to give it to you and you're going to do that to me, and so I'm just shooting and they're reacting to you. Yes, so that's the plan at least so let's get let's get everybody situated. So a lot of times, like I've been saying, when I'm posing somebody, um, I'll show him, I'll show him what I'm trying to do, so we're gonna actually come over here. Amelia. I'm gonna let you sit here. Me and you could just even hide them right here if you want, you're gonna be right there and then I'm gonna have bo, can you stand behind mom and hold her up? You okay? What's months. Mom sitting here. What's mom's sitting here? Yeah, well, I'll help you kind of get there and then always going to sit right here in front of you. So we're gonna so bo, you're going to actually stand behind mama and yeah and I may have to go just this once I set him up and I looked for my camera angle so I'm just kind of going to quote feels right right now can you hold mom and he can actually he's gonna snuggle up against you so and actually can you say like this can you sit just like this boat hermano in can you turn around and say what you like criss cross applesauce so mom can just snuggle you back you're just snuggle on on on love on him yet and then yeah you're gonna help hold mom and when we're ready you're gonna come rest your head on and then what we're gonna do amalia you're going to make sure your seat nice and tall and turn your body a little bit this way yet amelia does not need to be hidden she's tiny she's beautiful but this type of posing would actually work really well if you were trying tio hide parts of mom because we know we're all our own hardest critic so even though you know I think she looks amazing she might be oh I don't like how this is you know looking here there said I mean that's typically we all in yourselves room you've heard I heard the moms say that so I've really focused on trying to make mom look really great the kids comfortable I'm gonna actually start shooting because they look really comfortable right now. Um so I'm shooting right now at I s o five hundred um four hundredth of a second of five six then when I dropped down to photographing all the kids individually I'll go back down to two eight okay, hold on so what?

This was a great topic. I tuned in thinking I wouldn't be interested, and then, wow, it was fabulous. So fabulous I'm holding an event in two weeks time to launch my own pet photography and raise food for local homeless animals. Thanks so much CL team!
