This week I got to photograph three brothers for a birthday gift for their grandmother. What mom wanted was to have me create a portrait of the three boys together. Oh, I almost forgot the most important part about this story, two of the boys were three year old twins, and their little brother was two months old. Posing these firecrackers were the least of my problems. The twins just could not sit still; they wanted to know what everything was and why it was in my studio. Much wiggling and squirming was going on. Then, I think it was Andrew who looked up at me and said, “Are we done now?” I had only taken 5 shots, so I comically answered, “We have to do this all day.” You should have seen his little eyes. I then explained that grandma wanted a picture of them so she could remember them and as soon as we got the perfect shot we could all go home and have lunch. That seemed to do the trick because both boys began to focus and I fired off shot after shot. By the end of the session, the twins had had enough and, as you can see from the photo, Joshua was into a power nap. We were done and ready for lunch.
