Portraits
It's often a challenge to get 3 unruly boys, each with very different personalities, to sit together for a portrait. Of course when all that's on their agenda is climbing trees, searching for long lost puppies, and having nothing to do with each other - I have to resort to something else.... Some would call it bribery :) I call it my magic marble drinks...
I introduced these to the boys three years ago when baby Knox was still in mommy's tummy. The boys are at my beck & call and will do ANYTHING for me when I pull these babies out of my bag and sit them right in front of them.... There is certainly some magic ingredient that makes 3 wild boys crazy about them. And I'm not afraid to take every advantage of it.
How great did Dan, Mansell & Knox do?
Sigh... love baby Knox!
Mansell, the monkey who lives in trees....
And big brother Dan.
Yes - time, patience & developing a connection with your subjects certainly help. But when all these crazy kids want is the magic in the marble drink, what's a girl to do?

My day job in Columbus is at Grammarcy, a sweet correspondence shoppe. Courtney comes in every year for her Christmas cards, and this year, after seeing your logo on the image box and being a photographer myself, I had to do a little 'blog stalking.' Absolutely love your work! Glad to have found out about you from such a great family!
