After two of the other mum’s in Francie’s mother’s group had shown her their Renaissance family portraits, Francie decided to dive in, with a shoot at home.
Thank you Carl for being so accommodating. Carl took the morning off, and I felt like I’d brought an assistant- my camera and lighting gear magically appeared wherever I needed it.
Near the end, Carl’s sister dropped by, and helped keep Amber animated. Now it was impossible to take a bad photo! It’s days like this that help compensate for the times a three year old tries to bite off the buttons on my camera. (Psst, I need those buttons just where they are.)
