How I Embarrass My Clients

I saw a commercial not too long ago about that new show on E! that's like Clint Eastwood's family or something? Anyway, one of the daughter's boyfriend is a photographer and in the clip I saw he was having his models sitting/standing in the middle of a fire! Holy cow! I would never want to endanger the well-being of someone I was shooting, but let's be honest the picture probably came out amazing. While I've never gone to such great lengths for a photo, I've done some pretty weird things to get a shot.

I'm more about embarrassing myself than the shootee, and while I'm not likely to bring attention to myself in normal situations, when I'm shooting it's like that filter in my brain that keeps me somewhat socially stable goes off. I've sat in mud, hung upside down, made strange noises, climbed on things (I'm terrified of heights!), and even bended in crouching-tiger-hidden-dragon ways I didn't think were possible!

For instance, in this photo I was lying on the floor just between these two in a crunch-like position. I know I must have looked ridiculous but I didn't want to pass up the chandelier in the background.
PS - if you ever want an incredible ab workout, lie in this pose for 30 seconds. You'll start to feel the burn instantly!

This one I was sitting on a very fast-moving merry-go-round holding on to nothing but my camera. Scary!

I had McKenzie and Matt laugh really weird at each other for this one. They thought I was crazy. Okay. I really can't argue with that...

Anytime I want a genuine smile from this girl I simply have to meow like a cat. It's one of my photographer secrets that I feel like I really shouldn't should share.

So, rest assured that I will never set anyone on fire, but I may end up embarrassing you for a really cool shot. I promise it's worth it in the end! :)
