Well I've got a quasi-photo studio going on at home here and have been imploring the Lummins to be my subjects for awhile.
They suck at sitting still.
All I need is for them to sit still long enough for me to compose a photo, lock in the tripod, and take a few shots on different settings.
Yeah, that's pretty much near impossible. They cannot sit still for 2 SECONDS! All they wanna do is jump on the bed and act silly.
I know, that sounds like more fun to you too...

So far, THIS is what I got.

p.s. I'll be back later with a new poll question.

I think they are GREAT !! I love the non posed kid shots. Those are my FAV ! Here is a webiste that I have came across that might be of some help to you. www.shuttermom.com I have learned alot from the gals there.
BTW your Little Lummins are so dang CUTE !

Awesome job! Me and my quasi-studio can totally relate! Especially to the not sitting still part.

Rhonda said...

You have the most beautiful children - and I love the pics - they are just awesome! You do great work!

Misti said...

Thats one of the biggest challanges of being a child photographer. Thats why i love newborns,lol. They usually sleep.
And don't be afraid to break out the candy as a bribe ;-)

I love the one of Sophie looking like she is about to punch the camera. And the one with her finger on her lip.

Monogram Queen said...

I think you did a great job. Might as well be prepared when other peoples kids won't sit still also :)

Kami said...

You are doing an incredible job!

Sorry your subjects are being so wiggly!

Unknown said...

cute photos :)

Alli's Mom said...

See, those are the kind of pictures I like though. Capturing them in such innocent ways without being posed. I love the one of her with her finger on her mouth!

Too precious!

Lori said...

Beautiful children.... good pics too! :)

Memphis said...

You know you are the Photo-Meister! Only a pro can photograph kids in poses without all the poses involving crying.

Kat said...

Love, love, LOVE the one of Sophie hugging Holden! :) Great job!

Nap Queen said...

Sophie is such a ham! I love her expressions. And Holden looks like such a sweetie :)

Peanutt said...

Wow what an incredible job you do with wiggly subjects! Those are absolutely great! I have two wiggle worms that I need photos of.....

Simply Gorgeous! You're sooo good with your camera babe! I need a new one, but my pics are never as amazing as yours are...

Those are great!!! When did they grow up so much?

My kids are currently enthralled with jumping on the bed too.

Elizabeth said...

I could eat her she is so scrumptious.

Amy said...

OMG those pics are SO GOOD. Just let them wiggle. The candids are the best. You can always PS to make them the way you want.

Folks are sure masturbating a lot!

Kate Giovinco Photography said...

Holy shit I just came back and read through some of the comments and I almost peed my pants laughing so hard at Amy and her:

"Folks are sure masturbating a lot!"

Unknown said...

Awww! Those are great. That girl looks like a handful and putting the boy in the mix makes for some chaos.

Who doesn't love jumping on the bed?

Amy said...

Gorgeous photos, gorgeous kids!

Love the one of your gal with her little finger over her mouth. So sweet and tender. Lovely.
