Probably my best grimace today was just a few minutes ago. It was one of those family issues that doesn't lend itself to photography.
As I "danced" through myriad possibilities for today's photos, I heard a "Help Me!" sort of scream from the next room where our little JOY was watching
Mazie's Alphabet.
I arrived "on the scene" to indentify the perpetrator, who was none other than Monet, the cat! Monet was feverishly eating marshmellows...rather loudly (snort, snort, snort, snort...) while poor little Shanna had her two hands hovering over the rest of the marshmellows fairly shouting at me as she said, "Uh, the Monet...is...ea-ting...the marshamellows!"
I said, "O, I'm sorry, Baby Girl! Monet likes marshmellows, too. I'll have to take her out of here and put her in the other room.
I quickly deposited Monet on the bed in the master bedroom, and pulled the door shut. PROBLEM SOLVED!
Of course, as you saw from this series of photos the children make just as quick work of destroying serious moments. We ended up dealing with quite a few moments that were "HOT & CROSS" at the BUNN wedding! :}
P.S. - Now do you see why I GO FAST when dealing with large groupings that include children. With children & animals, NEVER wait for the perfect moment! They DON'T EXIST! Just keep the shutter going and PRAY that you get something you can use.
It doesn't hurt to get yourself some experience with PhotoShop or GIMP...Right, Pixkid?!!!!
