Operation Bash Flash

November 1st, 2009 · by map · Comments

Leah keeps threatening me she’s going to set up an appointment at Flash for a family portrait. I hate Flash. I might as well get that out there right now. Anyway, I’m telling her not to do it, that I’ll take the shots. She’s unconvinced. So I set up a little studio in the living room this afternoon and imposed on the kids — who’re both sick — to sit for some shots for me. Witness:

Now, it’s one thing to get these two in a shot, and a complete other thing to get us all in a shot. But I’m emboldened. I have to take a lint roller to my backdrop, but other than that, I’m ready to go….

Oh, lastly: I’ll never tell what I had to do to get these smiles.

    Correction, dear: I did NOT want to go to Flash. I hate them! I wanted to use Gehman Photography in Kalona: http://www.gehmanphotography.com/
  • But Leah, that wouldn't rhyme. Gamin' Gehman? Blamin' Gehman?

    How 'bout, "Shamin' Gehman?" To be fair, Gehman does some nice stuff. Heck, she shot the wedding of one of our friends at work, which I imagine is how Leah got the bug?

    I'm completely impressed yet again. This is an adorable photo. I know you want to go professional Leah but I'd stick with your hubby at the least for photos of the kids. I haven't seen many of any kids better than this. Let him try the family one once. - Kristin
