So here is a funny story that happened to me last week. I had a newborn photoshoot for a sweet, adorable little girl. Her mom asked if the baby’s grandpa, who was visiting from the Midwest, could tag along for the photoshoot. What could be more endearing than watching his only grandchild having her very first photos taken?

He sat on the sofa with dad and watched while mom had her makeup done and I worked some magic with my camera and baby. I finished up the baby’s individual photos, and next came the family photos. Mom and Dad took their pictures, and now it was time for grandpa to have his very own pictures with his sweet, adorable granddaughter.

I wanted Grandpa to lean in over his daughter so they could all be close and form a connection, because when everyone is touching in your photos, it creates unity. I grabbed a wood basket with a flat bottom for grandpa to lean his knee on and set it on the floor just where I wanted it.

I set one of my knees down on the basket to show grandpa exactly how I wanted him posed, and the next thing I knew, my knee went right through the box! Thankfully, my camera was not in my hands and was properly strapped around my neck with my Nikon camera strap. We all had a good laugh, and boy was I thankful that happened to me and not grandpa!
