When I had Amy and Patrick sign model releases at the end of our shoot last month, Amy said I was free to use their photos on my blog "as long as you don't call us the worst family ever!" Ha! It was a cold morning just after Thanksgiving and unfortunately their little boys, Jack & Griffin, left the shoot in tears - a situation I try to avoid at all costs! I think Amy was afraid the shoot was a total loss, but I assured her I deal with all sorts of challenges from children and this was definitely not the toughest I'd faced by any stretch of the imagination. (In fact the worst behaved person I ever photographed was actually an adult, but that is another story!) I always remind my clients that even given tough challenges on shoot day, I am still doing a job that I love and feel blessed to be doing.
As you can see, our shoot was far from a total loss! After she'd viewed them in her family archive, I received an email from Amy saying I have new clients, assuming I'd have them, and a promise to be better behaved next time. Again I say ha! Of course I'm thrilled to have this adorable family as new clients and look forward to working with them again in the future no matter the challenges they throw at me. I say "bring it, boys!"
