Lend me your kids!

[moominmolly]

I would like practice taking photos of babies and kids. I've already taken all possible photos of the ones in my house, so I need to start practicing on some new ones. Do you have a kid? Would you be willing to bring 'em to me for a weekend hour or so, so I could take pictures? I'm going to be really awful to schedule with, I can tell you in advance, but I can make up for it in enthusiasm or something.

(A lot of this is going to be me getting used to dealing with other people's kids. I'm no monster, but I'm not precisely smooth and social, either.)

I already loaned you my kid! But happy to do it again sometime.

For all readers of this post: you totally wanna do this! You will get pretty pictures of your kid making straaaange cute expressions.

how's december?

I totally would, but for distance. Btw, I assume that in child photography, dealing with other people's -kids- is not the biggest issue. But maybe I'm a misanthrope.

Any interest in doing whole families? My kids are singularly (pun intended) well photographed but there are not that many of them together and fewer still with all 5 of us.

And nearly none of me anywhere :-\

Sure! I mean, I think perhaps you've taken pictures of ours before?

But I would certainly bring her over for an hour so you can take pictures again!

The Mass Adoption Resource Exchange is looking for volunteers to photograph kids up for adoption for their Heart Gallery (http://www.mareinc.org/heartgallery/heartgallery.html).

Probably not this weekend or the following one due to travel and whatnot, but some weekend shortly after that I suspect Cian would be happy to come over for some photos.

Be warned. He doesn't object to having his photo taken at all, but he doesn't always take well to being posed or asked to smile, etc. I've had good luck getting some decent photos of him, but very rarely when he was "being photographed." He tends to be cheerful about it, just not always helpful. So perhaps he's exactly the practice you're looking for. ;-)

Sure, you can borrow my kid on occasion, especially if he gets to play with Natalie. :)

You're always welcome to borrow ours!

Sure! That would be fun, I've been wanting to visit Moosecasa anyways.

Let me know as you sort out responders and schedule. Mine is pretty open at this point. :)

hi!
a friend sent me your way and i see you've had many responses to your request for Kid Borrowing but i'm offering mine as well - Miss Cass is 22 months old and i can't wait till she turns 2 so i don't have to measure her in months anymore. :)
