Oh the Crabtree’s!
This was easily one of the most fun photo shoots I have ever
been a part of. For one reason, this is my best friend’s family and another reason
is that we did some of the best poses ever for rambunctious little boys.
Like any good mother, my friend Shanna called me and said
she wanted really great family pictures. This picture would be something that
she could hang over her new couch and enjoy for years to come. She had a vision
in her mind of her youngest son, Bronson, on her back laughing and her oldest
son, Elijah, on his daddies shoulders leaning down to kiss her while her
husband looked “all cute” as she put it. I laughed, maybe more than I should
have, when she told me this. Don’t get me wrong. I love her boys, but posing
them was something I knew would be an adventure. As the shoot progressed and
the boys grasped for freedom (I totally should have painted their faces blue
and put them in kilts…Braveheart in case you didn’t get that reference), the
funnier they got. The smiles were much more natural when they were playing between
poses and we decided to attempt Shanna’s idea. It didn’t work, so we
improvised.
What we ended up with was so cute, so natural, and so….well them!
The Crabtree’s!
We have a series of shots in this position. Each one was better than the last! Love them! :)
