Moment of glory

[elamine]

Last week, we did a photo shoot for the cover of NW Kids Magazine. We had intended to use a little girl that we know but things didn't line up for it, and so our little Pea ended up being the cover girl. Here's the shot that I think they're using:

Wait.
That's your daughter!?

Wasn't she just born 10 months ago?! -gapes in disbelief-

[elamine]

It's still weirding ME out!

[miss_madelyn]

That was my exact reaction.

She cannot, no scratch that, she is NOT allowed to look that grown up.

I was just going to say- woah!! She looks so old! I knew it looked like her when I saw the first pic, but I had to look extra long to be sure, because she looks so much older!! WOW!

[elamine]

I KNOW! But for our reference, she's only three months younger than T. I think she looks older in these than she really is but I think almost everyday, "Wow, she's really not much of a baby now, is she?"

[gigiss]

She has grown up a lot!

Why use that shot in b/w? The color is rich and festive and fun in and of itself, imho.

[elamine]

I'm only using black/white because the card design is a lime green/orange/turqoise design, and these colors would totally clash. I'll post it so that you can see what I mean.

[gigiss]

Hmmm; green/orange/turquoise? I see what you mean.

Are you committed to those three colors though? With a shot that delightful, I would be tempted to shift the color scheme to fit the photo.

[elamine]

Yes, but only because they're templates that I bought and I'm too lazy to do more changing than I've already done? Actually, the truth is that it's not laziness. It's pragmatism. The very fact that we are doing cards is a business imperative. If they were just for family, they probably wouldn't be getting done this year. There's just so many things to do for clients that completely revamping an already done thing is, let's say, highly unlikely.

Holy CRAP! Is she suddenly 5 or what?!

I agree with Gig, I like the last shot!

[elamine]

I'm only using black/white because it fits the card design a lot better.

She's adorable. I'm not sure I've seen a picture of her before. Could that really be??? Anyway, she's super cute.

[elamine]

I've posted pictures of her but not frequently. She was up just a week or two ago, though, on thereversedlens from our Halloween shoot.
