Yes I’ve taken plenty of pictures of these guys, but I haven’t done it very well. When I am in Uncle ‘Chelle mode (at first Jack was genuinely confused about titles, and then it was just plain funny that I was Uncle ‘Chelle so it stuck) I don’t want to make the boys do anything they don’t want to do. You don’t want to sit still and have your pictures taken? No problem! You would rather run upstairs and destroy the Lego village? Here let me help you up the stairs! See what I mean?
So when I asked Joelle if she wanted to bring everybody by for a family photo session I recognized that I really needed to be in full photographer mode. We weren’t going to take pictures at my home because they know where all the toys are. We went to three of my favorite spots to shoot. Spots the boys had never been to. I also put my bribe out there right at the beginning so I could keep reminding Jack about the cool orange camera I had for him if he listened to me really well. I brought my fuzzy feather duster to tickle them back into place and I acted slightly manic and crazy.
And it worked! I got the best pictures of the boys together that I have ever gotten and the family pictures are so fun too! Hey – maybe I AM pretty good when I get into photographer mode!
Here are my favorites…
One more thrill seeking, heart stopping shot for fun…
