There's no such a thing as reasoning with a 1 1/2 year old

While on vacation in Minnesota, Bryan's aunt asked if I would take a group shot of her four grandkids. Generally it's not my style to plop everyone down and say cheese, but with four kids under the age of 10, I did what I could. Plus I had only 20 minutes to work with since it was almost dinnertime, and we were quickly losing light. But probably any more than 20 minutes and I would have totally lost their attention. They were all ready to quit after 10. Hopefully next summer, the littlest one can be reasoned with and we can do some fun shots of them all playing together.

Too much work, not enough play

After working almost three weeks straight (which included wildfires, fatal late-night shootings (because when else do they happen?), and mudslides), and shooting a wedding on the 4th of July; and then having my parents and grandma come visit - which was a ton of fun - I am ready to have a real weekend. So, after work tomorrow, I am heading to Denver with Tucker to see Bryan. And then in a few weeks, I have a full seven days up North in Minnesota. This is all I am thinking about...
