Living Room Photo Shoot
Last week I shot a “fashion shoot” for AlphaMom in my living room. I’ve done a lot of photography in this little one-bedroom apartment but this shoot actually felt almost professional. We had a real backdrop and some really cool mettaprints props (shown below) and Bug and our neighbor, Mohammed, are about as pro as it gets when it comes to modeling.
They are both pretty photogenic naturally but they’ve got the goofball posing down. Perhaps the I like to Move It, Move It and Gangnam Style music blaring in the background helped. Music always makes everything more fun.
Anyway, they both had a blast and are looking forward to making real paychecks (!) this time instead of the usual frozen yogurt treats that I usually pay them with.
I love our new Aspen Trees that we are now selling at mettaprints.com. We did them as a custom order for a client and then loved them so much we had to make more for the shop. It’s like I had my own “Where the Wild Things Are” in my living room. (In more ways than one.)
I had to stop the wild things from pummeling each other with pillows and taking down my cardboard aspen woodland.
But at the end of the day I gotta say it wasn’t a bad gig!

Both of those kids are ridiculously photogenic! The outfits are adorable, and the trees are cool. I’ve often thought it would be neat to have my own personal snowy forest room, kind of like stepping into Narnia from the wardrobe.

Sophia is grinning over my shoulder looking at the pics of Bug. She says, “Hi and I hope I can see you soon.”

They both look so much older than the last time I saw them! STOP IT, TIME. And Mohammed looks so different without his curls! Those aspen trees ARE seriously great.

All of the shots with the trees in them are enchanting. And Bug just gets more beautiful all the time.

I love it, so cute! Where did you get their outfits?? The trees are awesome. As a looong time reader I have to say, I was happy to see a post on here, I miss them!

OMG look at Mohammed’s eyes! When he’s older and thinks girls aren’t gross anymore he will be able to cast spells on them with his eyes alone.

BRILLIANT! And oh my goodness, that li’l boy is absolutely adorable. THOSE EYES. Naturally, Bug is only getting more beautiful with age. Great shots, Brenda!
