Last Minute Shoot | Bridgewater NJ Child Photographer

In talking with a few old friends of mine, we'll call them Harry & Sally, Sally mentioned casually that she was taking the kids to the mall for a photo shoot. To me, those words sound like nails on a chalkboard.
  
      "Wait, wait wait...you're going to do what!?!?"

I couldn't let this happen. So I explained to Sally I was a photographer and what type of photography I do. I told her to get her kids in some cool clothes and meet me in her backyard in five. I went to grab my camera.
Now, under normal circumstances, it usually works like this. A client will contact me and book a photo session. Then, we'll schedule a consultation (either in person or on the phone) and we'll discuss the shoot. Talk about their kid(s), what they like to do, what the 'vision' is for the shoot, etc. Obviously, in this case there was no time. No time to plan. No time to get the cliff notes on the kids...NADA. For a minute I felt like I was back in college again and I had a 10 page paper due the next day on a topic that I knew nothing about. But hey, I was good under pressure then and I still am now. I walked around their house for a few minutes to see if I could find some cool props and/or something to work with. They had some cool stuff - thankfully.
So, for the next hour or so, I basically just ran around and played with the kids, talked with the parents and just tried to integrate myself into their family to make every thing seem normal and to keep the kids acting normal as if I wasn't there. Got some cool stuff...check out the website for more!
