G<\/span>oing in to the portrait session with Karen and her family, I had mixed emotions. First, I was excited, because Karen and I had been having fun with our correspondence, and I was excited to meet her. She’s a hilariously loquacious blogger<\/a>, and told me she only coerced her husband into the photo shoot by telling him I was a good ole Manotick girl, because he grew up here. <\/p>\n

But on the other hand, I was scared. I think I’m pretty good wrangling little kids for portraits, largely from my daily experience wrangling three rambunctious boys. But Karen? Has (whispers) teenagers<\/em>. I was pretty sure going in that my deep repertoire of knock-knock jokes and “who has the smelliest farts in YOUR family” tactics were going to tank with teenagers. And then our scheduled session got rained out. It poured! So I had an extra week to stew in my anxiousness.<\/p>\n

I needn’t have worried. These? Are some of the sweetest, most photogenic teenagers one could ever hope to meet.<\/p>\n

Look!<\/p>\n

The kids were great, and Karen and Scott were hilarious. It was one of those sessions that just fly by. Every idea I proposed, they ran with it – they got down in the grass, they played with the frame, they even sat on my wagon.<\/p>\n

They were rockstars!<\/p>\n

And they were ridiculously photogenic. When Karen showed up in orange Chucks, I knew I had a friend for life.<\/p>\n

I should just give you the password to their proof gallery, because there’s not a shot I took that day that I didn’t love. This was a terrificly fun day, and I am no longer scared of teenagers. Well, at least, not other people’s teenagers. \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
