Behind the Pic

Joining in with Elle Sees for her link up to see what goes on behind the pictures that we see.

I loved doing this before... so let me flip through some of my pics & see what comes to mind.

What you See:

a cute little baby showing me his belly like his mommy's

What you don't see:

I'm trying for him to touch his mommy's belly. I kept asking him if he knew where his mommy's belly was so I could get a sweet picture of him reaching up, touching it.  He just kept wanting me to see HIS belly.  I told mom to not worry about trying to get him over & to just do what he was doing.  I actually like this picture better anyways.  Sometimes, you just let kids direct a picture.

A cute progression of a momma's pregancy

What you don't see:

Well, what you see is what you get... but it was also timing through 9 months.

This momma called me to tell me it was a secret but she was pregnant so I took their announcement picture & we took the first picture.  We then planned the middle picture at about 7 months while she could still cross her legs.  & then finally, the last picture was when the baby was just a week old.

I had to keep a picture of the previous picture on my phone so I knew exactly how to line up the camera with the bed & the things on the wall. I gave her strict "no decorating" orders for her bedroom wall :)

What you don't see:

THE ATTACK OF MOSQUITOES!!!!

Oh my gosh!  I use this field every time I do pictures at this location & I have never in my life seen this many bugs in my life.  It did rain the whole day before & I guess with all the trees & fresh grass, it just brought them out.  These 2 are actually laughing because the bugs were landing on each others faces & they were like, "You have another one on your cheek"... when we stood up & they walked back to me, they were like, "THEY'RE ALL OVER YOUR FACE"... yep - I was covered to.

It was like something out of a horror movie.

(Are you itching like me right now?)

What you see

A senior picture with the perfect "Class of 2016" on the wall

What you don't see

This guy didn't want to take his picture next to it because it actually had another school's name graffiti on the wall... so I had to photo shop it out where no one even knows its there & he can use it for his own school's senior picture now.  The magic of editing.

What you see: 

The hubs sitting & waiting for his coffee order

What you don't see

He kept playing YouTube videos of deer being rescued from situations & doing it WITHOUT headphones in.  It was SOOO loud & there was a guy sitting right in the area across from him.  He just kept looking over at Ricky.

Ricky just stays oblivious sometimes.
