Tuzzins

The Tuzzins, also known as the cousins.

When he was little, Alexander called his cousins the Tuzzins. The name has stuck.

There are a lot of outtakes included here, but I almost love them more than the typical printable framable ones.

And some behind the scenes, just so you don't think we're all slick or anything.

*Heather worked hard telling animated stories about things that go "poo on you" for many of these smiles.

*All clothing for this shoot was thrifted for less than $35.

*Everyone involved was promised a treat in exchange for their co-operation.

*There was lots of nose picking and dress eating on the part of the younger half. Some of those can be found in the full gallery over on my website.

*When you give yourself enough time, enough snacks, enough breaks, and celebrate the whacky ones, getting beautiful images of kids is so much fun!

*Yes, we did get one of all four of them smiling together. This outtake is more fun though.

*As you can see, apparently the first thing that needs to be done when taking pictures, it to lie down on the backdrop.
