WARNING, Mothers don't always know best!

[heavenly_light]

Hey all,

I may not be a great glamour photographer just yet, but I am a great photojournalist. I also am a loving father who has been accused of being over-protective. However when mothers say it's ok or do it again I always felt, "Mothers know best". To my dismay they do not!

Let me explain. I went to the bride's home for the wedding on 28th October for knowledge of layout and lighting (Yes, I am still nervous about the wedding). Afterwards I went to California state park in California, OH to do some family images because they were so good. My wife and daughter played in the leaves and I photographed up to the last leaf being brushed off my wife by my daughter. Then Raven went and jumped on a 45 degree cut post and said look at me. My wife said, oh that looked so good. Do it again so your daddy can get an image of you for our wall. (Mistake, my gut said no, but, Mothers Know Best…Right.) Not wanting to tell my wife no. I prepared for the shot, focus on the stump, correct f / ss and wait for the moment.

My daughter went up............My daughter came down..........Mother/Daughter Pity party over her knee.......

However,
It still became my entire fault....me and my dumb camera......

We had Ice cream...And after I saw she was really ok. I got into even more trouble because....."I could not stop laughing"

Enjoy the images...I already paid for them....LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

A great story and sequence/story within the images--well captured. And just so you know--the butterflies never leave when it comes to weddings. You can't shoot a wedding twice and you cannot duplicate anything that happens within a wedding. If you don't feel anxiety and nervous as hell prior to a wedding--even a small one--then you have lost your edge and passion for what you are doing. You have posted a few times about your nerves....relax my friend--you will do just fine and I am anxiously waiting for you to post your imes on the 29th and hear your stories.

For some nice wedding work, take a look at David Ziser's stuff. Spoke to him a few weeks back, really nice guy.

Hey RVMD and Racket4Life,

RVMD, -I am checking out David Ziser and will be attending his workshops when the dates roll around. Thanks for some dead on information.

Racket4Life, - I will post my images from the wedding but, the images I took at the brides home I made into a practice layout in Photoshop. What do you think?
My wife likes it so; I have at least met the hardest critic’s approval. lol...

I'm a bad person, this made me laugh. All I could think of when I saw the photos was Nelson from the Simpsons saying "HAA HAA!"
