Scout Portrait Sneak Peek...
Scouting portraits were a lot of fun! All of the boys remembered to wear their uniforms and were very excited to have their pictures taken. Parents, please make sure you check out our website where more custom creations are available - such as custom holiday and greeting cards, custom collages and trading cards for the boys. The trading cards are very popular with boys this age, and are the same size as business cards. They can pass them out to their friends at school and new Cub Scouts that they meet at Resident Camp or other district level activities. You can include their name and pack number or any other information you want!

A Class Assignment
Hello blog followers!
Most of you know I have a ten year old son. I have noticed not only with my son, but with my clients' children also, for some reason, once they reach the age of eight, they become extremely camera shy and do everything they can to hide from the lens. Sometimes if a photographer is quick enough, they can catch them in between hiding and giggling - it almost becomes a sort of hide-and-seek game to the children AND the photographer, so we have to play along in order to get that perfect shot. If you are really lucky you can bribe them with candy or cookies (make sure its okay with their parents!) or in my case, a trip to Pizza Hut sealed the deal. It also helps to talk to them about their favorite animal, if they have a pet at home, or hobbies that they have. Video games are ALWAYS an instant ice breaker!
In a photography class that I just finished up, our assignment was to pick a subject and photograph it at fifteen different angles. My husband chose a rusty padlock that he found buried outside in the mud. Of course I chose my son as my subject, and he actually sat in the grass in our backyard and let me take dozens of pictures of him. This is my favorite picture, purely for his expression (so serious!) and the ocean of blue in his eyes.

Cub Scout Portraits
I wish I could find more time to blog - it seems that the more time I think I am going to have, the busier I find myself! I promise to work on it guys!
Tomorrow night (Tuesday, February 24th) at 7:00pm is Scout Portrait Night at Pack 427's scout hut. I just wanted to remind parents to have your son wear his Cub Scout uniform (Class A) tomorrow night (Den Leaders should be in uniform too for Den and Pack photos). Also, parents may have their portraits taken with their cub if they are interested, so please dress accordingly.
