You’ve Got One Minute Mama
One of the issues of having a child whose mother is a photographer is having said child get tired of the camera. When they are small, they don’t really have a choice. They are easlier dstracted. You can bribe them.
Pookah is at the age where he doesn’t always want me to take his picture. I noticed it a few months ago and I started ASKING him “Can I take your picture?’ when I wanted a portrait like photo.
He usually says yes.
Lately, he’s been giving me a time limit.
On this day, he said, “You’ve got one minute Mama, set your timer.”
Ooookkkaaaayyy…….
So I set my timer, and we went to my garage and I shot away.
For 60 seconds exactly. When the timer went off, I put the camera down and that was that.
I’ve learned to be quick. I’ve learned to already have in my head what I want, where I want him to stand, where the light is. BEFORE I ask.
Here’s what I got.
I think we did ok!
Go on, give yourself 60 seconds! See what happens!
What a gorgeous kid! His time limit for your is hilarious. From infancy, my daughter (now 2) has hated the camera. She makes faces and runs. I sneak pictures. My son (now 4 months) is a ham. He loves it!
He is just too cute! Too funny that he has a time limit now…lol!
That’s why I don’t like taking pictures to this day because my mom had a camera in her hand at all times. I got sick of it but now that I am older I am so glad she did.
So cute! I love these shots! My issue with my oldest is that as soon I take out the camera, she starts posing. Like obviously posing. It’s okay though I just keep shooting until she forgets I’m there, or until she or one of her sisters begs me to stop! lol.
Six words about that time limit: He get it from his daddy! LOL!
*DEAD*
Love this! I’m going to try this with my little one 🙂 Pookah has so much personality lol 🙂
