Well, this project has not gotten off to the roaring start I’d imagined.
I was super excited to photograph her wearing the Puppet Show at this fantastic, funky old puppet theater that’s an institution in our city — but didn’t realize that if she is sitting directly in front of me (the kids all sit on the edge of the carpet, which is the stage, so puppets can come up and chat with them) then I can really only photograph the back of her head.
Then we went out for Sunday Brunch the next day, and in choosing a spot I forgot to factor in lighting — it was so dark I couldn’t get a single decent photo.
At least we had a Playdate scheduled for mid-week, right? Nope, her friend was out of school all week and a call to her mom confirmed that she was sick.
Almost grimly, we went back out to brunch. It was Saturday. My morals were slipping, at this point. And as I lined up a *gorgeous* shot — my camera battery died.
Sigh.
