The Secret to a Good Picture

My secret to a good picture??? 

I have three friends that are professional photographers.

One friend is the mom of my son’s best buddy.  One is my neighbor and my dearest friend since I was 16.  And one is my graduate-school kindred spirit.

Yup. That is my secret.  It’s probably cheating.  Okay it IS cheating. But, if you don’t have a friend who is a professional photographer, you need to get one.  Like, right away.  Buy these folks coffee…. let them borrow your car….do whatever…. Because when you send your son on playdates you get pics like THIS:

When you have a new baby you get pics like THIS from Auntie Sugar:

When they need last minute models for their workshops you get the phone call and then end up with pics like THIS:

I know.   I need to bake more and pay these women back, eh?

    Thanks for sharing.

  • Ah!! Thanks Carpa! btw, just called to see if you could help us with Ruthie’s spelling homework (adverbs!). People, if you don’t have an English teacher as a friend – get one! Now.
