Children...Mothers of one year olds were the worst. Children at that age have just started to learn independence since most have just started to walk. It is a very difficult age to photograph because they have limited attention spans and don't want to stand or sit in one spot. Meanwhile, mom has 3 outfits planned and wants 4 different backgrounds. There were so many times that I wanted to say, "Listen, Lady, if I can get one good shot in one outfit and one background, the session will be a success." I realize the first birthday is a big deal and all, but I saw it too many times that the length of time the moms wanted the session to span over with the outfits, etc---it just became meltdown city.leosgirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03681133204021416489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1487903560605549635.post-9685643921680413282008-10-08T09:07:00.000-04:002008-10-08T09:07:00.000-04:00When are people going to realize that the portrait...When are people going to realize that the portrait session is about the CHILD, and not the clothing?!!I've never seen any advertising that shows the same subject in multiple outfits, so I'm not sure where people get the notion that this is a good idea. It seems to me that the studio staff can't win- either the customer is late for their appointment, or they show up way early to get the subject(s)ready. Meanwhile, the photographer gets to stand around and watch "happy time" fly out the window while the parent jostles the kid around.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
