Oooh haven’t you grown?

It goes something like this… Our now ‘big girl’ has her school photos done.  We get an email to view online…fantastic.  Clicked the link with anticipation that the ‘pretty lady’ has captured our happy little ‘angel’ with her pearly whites gleaming….  Ok, the first one she is warming up, everything will be fine…  Ok, the second one she blinked a little….  not to worry, by the 8th or 9th she will be in her stride and oozing charm….. Oh, there only 7 shots!   “Bloody useless photographer, she does this day in, day out, surely she can get one (yes just one!) where she has a smile?  Right, that’s it….I’ll do it myself….  ”Come on Daisy we are going to pretend we are back at school and Daddy is a photographer.”  ”Oh, great daddy, that’s a good idea… can I bring Frankie (the dolly that goes in the bath and poos etc), she want her picture done too? ”   We set the studio up together….  ”the lady had one of those…but I think it was bigger than yours daddy”.   All setup….the lighting looks good…. 6 lights I think will be enough!  RIGHT, off we go……

“Give me your prettiest smile Daisy, you know the one Granny gets when she appears at the door – the one the postman gets when he delivers the junk….you know the one, don’t you?

Ok, the first one she is warming up, everything will be fine…  Ok, the second one she blinked a little….  not to worry, by the 8th or 9th she will be in her stride and oozing charm….. etc etc etc..
