Backyard picnicking & inappropriately-sized seating choices.
I spent all day Saturday shooting what felt like millions and millions of segments (eight, actually, but that's a lot for one day when you take into account all the close-up shots, b-roll shots, et cetera that go into them) for a project that I've been teasing here and there over the past couple of months, and that I will be able to announce…later today! (Check back in just a couple of hours and it should be up.)
The shoot was followed by a BBQ with three couples who live near us and who we've become close with since we moved, and who also happen to each have two children: one Indy's age, and one infant (apparently I wasn't the only one who saw their child hit age two and immediately had the MUST HAVE MORE BABIES gear kick into overdrive). We're the Last Couple Standing with one child in this particular friend group, which is funny and cool: funny because when we're all hanging out we're basically sloths compared to our friends, who are doing things like burping and feeding and rocking while we're just sitting there like little guacamole-eating pharaohs - and cool because…I mean, babies are so cute. And it's so adorable to see all these two-and-a-half year olds with their little siblings, half not caring because babies are sort of boring (especially in comparison to the prospect of filling a bucket with rocks) and half loving being a big brother or sister and being super proud.
