While creating Road Trip I carefully considered the photographic vision. Even while designing I was envisioning where each piece would be photographed. I wanted to make sure that the knits looked delicious but also that the photos captured the beauty of the places so near to my heart….But things do not always go quite as planned!
With a combination of weather, small children, bugs, camping (and the inevitable dirtiness that goes along with that) and everything else that can get in the way of a photoshoot, there are a few out takes to share:
2 fingers in the mouth, a sure sign that Jonesie has had enough for the day!I love the shot of Hunter and Emily sitting in the beautiful Cathedral Forest, but it wasn’t without some sacrifice. Jordan fell off the log and Em almost went over trying to help!If anyone knows a sure way to get 3 kiddies under 4 to look in the same direction, sit still, and look good in their sweaters AT THE SAME TIME I am all ears. Bribery did not work. Not even with chocolate.Enough already with the warm sweaters mum! It’s August!Em was on hand to model, wrangle kiddies, and put sweaters in place!Sometimes kids just need to donkey kick their sillies out!While we did get the final shot we wanted, Jones wanted nothing to do with this shoot. Hunter wore 2 different hoodies and 2 different sized mittens to make this work!Uncle Juju keeping Jonesie out of trouble between takesThis is how many more shots Hunter said she would take. Then she was done.
Have any tricks for a problem free photoshoot? Or do you prefer the uncomplicated selfie?
Great to see the outtakes! Humans eh? :) Sounds like it was a lot of work, but from what I’ve seen of the finished photos it was worth it. They look beautiful and effortless!

I have to hound an unwilling teen and tween to take my photos — their method is to casually take one shot and try to walk off. Sigh. ;)
haha, I do outtakes on my FO shots, too, they are the funniest shots! BUt the outtakes are wear you see how a knit really behaves, on real people doing real things- not just sitting nicely! Your kiddos are the cutest.

That post made me smile. Not only because of the troubles you were having (same here, same here), but also because they are still beautiful.

A great behind the scenes peek! Can offer no advice on the child front….. You know what they say never work with animals or children!!

This is so funny! I can definitely relate. The outtakes are just as lovely as the real deal. Such troupers you’ve got for models!

I so appreciate the sharing of the photos that “didn’t work.” It’s so much fun to see children act like children!

These may be out takes, but they’re still wonderful photos (and I love those jumpers). Never work with children or animals….
