Wanted: One Family

As the day approaches where I'll be hanging out my virtual photography shingle, I'm trying to flush out a few things. To that end, I'm in search of a family who would let me come photograph them in their home. You'll receive a disc of 20-30 images in return for your time and flexibility.

There a just a few catches:

1. You need to be comfortable with me using the images for promotional purposes.

2. The shoot would need to occur between 10am and 4pm on either April 1st or 8th, and will take anywhere between 1-3 hours. (My apologies to all the working parents.) The whole family doesn't have to be present, just one parent and some kids. I realize it's a work day for most folks.

3. I'll probably troll my way through your house, possibly shooting in bedrooms or bathrooms. We might paint, cook, have your kids take a bath, or take a walk, so I'm looking for someone who is flexible with how we spend our time. You don't have to clean, as I am perfectly willing to look past the dust bunnies if you are.

4. This will be more of a "morning/afternoon in the life" sort of shoot rather than posed portraits, so keep that in mind. I'm not saying we won't get some portrait-ish shots, but that won't be our focus.

5. The parent who is home will be part of the shoot as well, so you need to be comfortable being in front of the camera as well. I will be kind. I promise.

6. If you pick April 1st, there will be no April Fool's jokes. Zip. None. Nada.

Interested? Drop me a line or leave me a comment.

    …if I weren’t pregnant, I’d so volunteer. But I only have the one kid, so it might be kind of boring.

    I’d take you up on this offer. But not having the kids around anymore kinda defeats the purpose. *sighs* wishing one more time that the kids were little again.

    Sold to Kate! When I figure out how to travel at light speed or back in time, I will take care of Amy and Semia. And, And, Libby, you don’t have one kid. Have you forgotten Alice?
