My favourite

... photo object is of course my daughter Maya, but she isn’t so cooperative as I would like her to be. I hope it’s just a phase she is going through. But who am I kidding? She has been it that phase nearly all her life ;-). She maybe got it from me, I don’t like to be photographed either… Most of my photos of her is quite blurry because when she sees the camera she runs.
But sometimes when she is playing and are concentrated she doesn’t discover that I have quietly sneaked away to get my camera. I click that button so fast, get a series of photos in just a few seconds and if I’m lucky I have one photo that I can use. Most of my pictures of her is when she is looking down, like this one below. Here she is playing with her beads. She haven’t discovered me yet…

Oh, I know that feeling! Picture that: we go for a walk, I kneel in the mud and take like 30 or 40 photos of my Maja (!) or Milena, wishing there was at least one shot that was good :)

All the best to you and your lovely model!

Jag förstår att det kan vara frustrerande att hon inte gillar att bli fotad, annars kan det ju vara perfekt att fota sina egna barn. Jag gillar verkligen den här bilden i alla fall, mer allvarliga bilder kan också vara riktigt snygga! :)

Don't worry because the best photos taken are the one's not posed for. I have hundreds of pics of my kids posing (they love the camera and the attention) but they always appear so contrived. It is when we take photos of them in their natural state that the magic comes alive. That photo of your daughter is precious.

Då får du helt enkelt tjuvfota henne när hon är koncentrerad på annat. Och det är ju nästan då som bilderna blir allra bäst!

Jag brukar fråga Viola: Hur tycker du bilden ska se ut? Vad tror du blir coolt? Det brukar hon vara "up for". Då känner hon sig delaktig, att hon är med och skapar bilden.
Men ibland vill hon ju absolut inte. såklart.

ola smith: Ha ha :-) That was funny! Thank you so much!

Moa: Du har så rätt!

Celestial Charms: Thanks!

Maria: Jo det blir nog ett och annat tjuvfoto till...;-)

Sammy Rose: Vilka bra tips! Tack så mycket! Det ska jag prova!

Inatt kom jag på ett tips till, till dig. Ibland när jag är ute på uppdrag och barnet inte vill medverka, brukar jag låta dem fotografera mig först. (Du vet jag låter dem hålla kameran, fast jag har kvar remmen) Det brukar funka. Jag litar på dem, sen litar de på mig. typ.. eller ja, jag tror du förstår vad jag menar.
