When life gives you lemons...

[Melinda]

Thought I'd make a separate thread for this since there will be a lot of photos.

About 2 weeks ago I came across a photo set online from another photographer who had done a lemonade stand type shoot with a mother and a daughter. Something about the whole concept stuck with me and I began to try to take the idea and make it my own. Yesterday all of the planning came together. 4 toddlers in the middle of a field with lemonade. I'm thrilled with how well it turned out.

The set:




And a few favorites from the shoot:

interesting and lovely concept!
did you use any filters for the shots?

and any pics of toddlers trying to eat a lemon?

[Melinda]

Thanks! No filters, just a white table cloth as a reflector for the light and an additional reflector in front of them.

As for the lemons, babies and toddlers are weird. Most of them actually like lemon. I do have one good sour face though, I'll post that up in a bit

Do you have a business license to sell that lemonade?Cause the police are going to shut you down.




But really great pictures, your son and Graham, cute asian hybrids

Funny enough, the only people that walked past us during the shoot were two cops patrolling the park. No lemonade was actually sold

Haha believe it or not all the boys are Asian hybrids.

LOVE how they turned out Mel, great concept and surprisingly well behaved, sharing toddlers!

[beyond_ban]

Agreed, mohawk kid is haha nice pics.

Thanks for sharing the shots. I think it would have been cool if the sign was a hand done crayon instead of printed one. Great set, you have a real talent.

[dj_rice]

Would of been cool if you had pictures of them eating the lemons and their facial reactions after

I really like the concept, but for me, there isn't enough colour ocntrast. Kids in yellow shirts with yellow props in front of a green background.

I was going to mention in my first post that kid with the mohawk looks cool.
