Anatomy of a photo shoot

Sunday, February 17th, 2008

I mentioned below that taking a photo of a 15-month-old can be a challenge. Indeed, my recent attempt to get a nice, simple picture with Zoe holding a red rose turned into quite the production.

First, Zoe just stared at the flower…

Then, she refused to look at the camera.

Next, Zoe decided it would be fun to pick off the flower’s petals…

And she got upset when I tried to take the flower away.

Eventually the battered flower wound up on the floor…

And Zoe was left to wonder what happened.

We managed to get a few good shots that day, but I think I’ll leave future photo shoots to the professionals!
