Sitting here in my office, I looked up to see a light show coming from my studio! Flash flash flash, super fast, and I hear my youngest shouting out orders... so i go into the studio room to find my five year old, with my 5d on a tripod, directing his sister, and conducting a full photoshoot! They utilized the prop and costume room, and even changed the backdrop several times.
What luck!! I hope to retire and live off of Riley's income by the time I'm 30.
*fingers crossed*



I hope to post the results of his photoshoot, should I ever wrestle the camera back...


Here were his efforts:

Lets see some of his shots!

That's so awesome!! I can't wait to see the results!

Kids learn a lot faster when parents do their work our of the home!

oh how cute!!!!

and what a good mom you are not to freak out that your kids are using your expensive equipment.

can't wait to see the results!

The results are MARFABULOUS!! :-D

That's Crazy! I love it.

Oh Carrie what a great story and so funny!

Our kids do watch and learn from us, you are a fine example for you children.

yeahh.. those are awesome... I think it's definitely time to retire.

Yep, on the road to riches, early retirement! Turn over that camera, he's going to be another rockstar!! I love seeing stuff from a kids perspective. If he keeps it up, he will be stunning by the time he gets a little more age on himself!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!

Awwwww what the Heck!!!!!

He's better than me!@!!!@!!!#!#!!#!#!$!$!!#!@!

4 is brilliant!

ummmm, yeah, it's time to retire!!!

wow, those are just absolutely incredible!!!!

i'm going to need a second shooter in april... is he available?

LOVE that.. my fave is number 7!!!!

Wow, he's pretty good.

That was VERY cute.

I'll check his social calendar!!




It's very funny to me how much his photos of Becca look like *my* photos of Becca. I don't know if that makes him super good for his age, or me SUPER horrible for my age!! hahahha!!

That's so awesome Carrie!!! I need to start working my kids harder.

Those are truly and absolutely adorably fabulous! I grunted out loud at the last one with the cabbage leaf. Quite the man, and little lady! Thanks for the cheer up!!!

the one of her in the bucket makes me want to MELT. its a really precious moment.

AHH! TACKY!!! DIDNT MEAN TO!

oh my gosh those are simply amazing!!! That is so awesome that he enjoys taking photos also, and as said above, good mommy for letting him continue with expensive equipment.

My oldest (7) really loves photography also, we gave him his own p/s digital for his birthday, and he tries to snagg mine from me as often as possible. He even understands shutter speed! I've put it on shutter priority for him to practice and will look at the result and saw, oh it's too dark I need to speed it up.

Amazing how much they absorb at this age. You will have a second shooter in no time!

Oh my goodness - definitely better than me!

I can't get over some of those - especially #2.
Wow!

Hahaha, awesome! I look so forward to having a family and going on little photo adventures with the kids, and letting them snap away.

Nothing worse than competition with your own child! hahaha. He did super!

You are right!! I'll have to initiate "creativity squelching protocol" ASAP!!

Awesome shots he did! I'm just amazed at how fast kids seem to catch on to things!
