I define myself as a children’s photographer, but then I hear the word “Cheese!” and don’t get it… while in the middle of my studio! D’oh!
Tonight, in playing with the girls and Joseph in the studio, I was setting up. E&A had walked out into the shoot area and I was messing with something. I had my camera around my neck and everything.
Emily turns around, looks right at me and says “Cheese!”
I said, “what?”
She said “Cheese!” with a big grin.
I said, “What?”
She said, “Cheese!”
Then, I burst out laughing. Three times for mommy to realize that Emily was POSING for me with a big cheesy grin and the saying the word “Cheese!” just waiting for me to snap her picture.
And guess what? I didn’t. I missed it because I wasn’t putting 2 and 2 together with “Cheese!”… especially given she’s NEVER said it before in context, nor unprompted.
I guess we spend a lot of time in my studio! And, of course I never say “Say cheese!” Yuck! 🙂 LOL
