[Nekked}

I'm still in shock, so I'll keep this short. Today I did maternity pictures for Silver Pelican. I knew that the lady wanted naked pictures. I didn't know she wanted buck-naked pictures of her, her 3-year-old and her....husband. That's right. I was photographing 3 nekked people today. I tried to keep the complete shock off of my face as they all disrobed. I was all like, so do you want to cover up with a scarf, or are you wearing undies? and she was all like no, not really. I was an art student. I shouldn't really be shocked by anything, but apparently I'm just a little innocent. For the record, they were really nice and all, but seriously!
Of course it could have been worse. About a month ago someone called SP to schedule a sitting, but he wanted to "surprise" his girlfriend, with an evening sitting in his apartment, on a bearskin rug, with naked shots of her whole (I mean whole-yes that is what I mean) body. It took awhile for me to figure out what he was talking about. He kept saying how awesome her body was and that she had really "blossomed." I turned that one down. Shocker.

Wow a whole naked family! I had the opportunity of shooting a valentines day "present" for the husbands of 2 sisters and their mom a while back. They were all women and I was far from comfortable. It is funny how in school I was confident that I would be fine doing nudes and sure that I could do them so tasteful. Yeah in reality not so much, I thought they ended up more porn-ish than anything. You are a stronger woman than I. I told my husband that was the last time I go there! Funny Story.

Awkward....

Dan and I totally should have dis-robed at the Salt Lake... Nothing like having a huge belly and weiner staring at you in the face. Oops. Too blunt?

And, I loved how that guy used the word, "blossomed."
