Holy drama!  There’s the capture of what and who is in front of you.  And then I bring it home and play with it – I say it’s like having a coloring book.  It’s where the extra element of art is added, and I end up with what I envision at the moment the shutter clicked.  Science and art merged exquisitely! Just look at those eyes! Teeshie was such a sport letting me “fit” her with another handmade tulle creation.  I think I made about 8 tutus during this creative frenzy.  Luckily, Mr. Honey stands in as my at-home model when I need to check if the skirts are long enough. lol!  (don’t tell him I told you!)  And yes, my home looked like a tulle tornado had gone through it – for several weeks.

I remember going through that with my son a couple years ago.  He was required to use the school’s recommended photographer for the yearbook photo.  And what most people believe is that they have no other options.  Not true! Yes, the school wants all their students to have a uniform look so the yearbook looks cohesive.  But outside of the yearbook photo, you can use any photographer you want.  When my son went to the “other” photographer, he was made to wear a tie (not his thing0, they sat him on a swivel stool.  The teenage “photographer” pulled a thin ribbon from the soft box (flash) to his chin, and she pressed the button.  She had him swivel the other way, did the same thing, click the button, and BOOM!  5 minutes later he was done!
