So this is always fun. I had a client who wanted to take a picture of her niece - an adorable little 14 month old girl, with big , beautiful blue eyes. There was one catch – it was a surprise for the little girls parents. A Christmas gift in the making. So it involved getting the little girl (let’s call her “Betty” for now so I don’t blow any surprises) out of her house without bringing up any suspicion, and shuttling her over to her Aunt’s house (who we will call “Judy”). We tried once before, but that plot was ruined by a napping “Betty”. Judy would have had to do a lot of explaining to do on why she wanted to wake her up and get her out of the house. So we had to re-schedule. Too bad too, as it was a beautiful afternoon. So we set-up a new shoot, and as luck would have it, it was pouring rain, so indoors it was. We got some great shots and I am so excited to post them here…in a month. Sorry, can’t show the pictures just yet. I told you, it was a surprise, and I can’t take any chances.
UPDATE: According to Sue (the aunt in disguise), her brother and sister-in-law absolutely loved the photos (she said there were some tears shed as well – the happy kind of course). She had a great idea on how to present the images to them as well – by showing them a slideshow of all of the images. Then did the big unveiling – a 24×36 inch canvas! The canvas looked great. Below is the image she used for the canvas. I am so glad they loved their images!
