Man, photographing kids at this age can be really tiring! Today we took, Xavier, Adriana, Elaina and Damion to a “Relay For Life” Easter Bunny fundraiser event hosted by a fellow photographer, Laura Armstrong here in Madisonville, Ky. Hopefully she was able to capture a shot of all the kids with the rabbit, but for me this is my favorite shot.
We never were able to get Damion to pose that well next to the bunny, even though his mom and I tried. All four of the young ones are my great-greats and I went along to capture a picture for today’s blog post and to take part in the adventure! After all, taking part in moments like these make for great memories.
We were able to get Damion to give the Easter Bunny high fives, point to all the parts of it’s head such as the eyes, nose, ears, ect… as he knows all those quite well, but anytime we wanted him to stand next to the bunny he wasn’t having anything to do with it, which is comical in it’s own way as he sat on his lap last year and as most of you know they all are very used to having their picture made.
You just never know what kids are going to do and when it comes to photographing them it’s important to remember to go with the flow as even though you may not always catch the picture you thought you wanted. I just love the expression on Xavier’s face and how Damion is looking to his mom for protection and comforting and then you have the two girls that could care less about the whole thing.
Photo was shot with my iPhone 5s using the built-in camera. Post processing was done in Snapseed with a touch of work toward the sharping in Photoshop using Topaz Adjust.
