The Monterey Peninsula is full of Families from all over the world! We live in an amazing vacation destination, and some of this is due to the Military Presence here in Monterey. Sometimes these families have to pick and leave suddenly due to transfers and assignments. When this happens, what would you think is important to do before you go? Pack, cancel utilities, look for a new house? OH! ..... and take some Family Photos to document the time your family spent here in Carmel! That is exactly what the Baker Family had in mind.
This week on "The Adventures of a Family Photographer" we get to take a look into what it is like to be a Family and Children's Photographer! When your co-workers are toddlers and elementary school aged children, it means you never know what is going to happen. You have to be able to think on your feet, and when things don't go according to all your careful planning, you have to be able to improvise and keep it FUN! This was just the case during the 'H' Family Photo Shoot.
No Matter how many times I ask this question, the answer remains along the same lines ... "When is the last time you and your husband had a portrait done?" (awkward side glance, pursed lips) "Uummmmm ... At our Wedding ...????" The actual wording might change, but this is pretty accurate for about 90% of my families. Which makes it all the more important to me to make sure I take a few minutes (while the kids run amok) and get some photos of mom and dad, NOT being mom and dad! Years may have passed, appearance may have begun to change, but put Mom and Dad in that first pose and you can see their beginning all over again.
