Hey everyone.
I had a family photo shoot recently that was pretty miserable. It was a rough day weather wise and the kids were sick and cold. They cried basically from the moment they got out of the car till they left. Grandmother was insistent we get this done because the majority of the family was in town. 12 in all. I did the best I could in a short
amount of time, and gave them pics that had most of the people smiling and looking at the camera. Grandma wanted me to swap a face in photoshop to get one more smile in the pic. I’ve never bothered with that before, but did. Then she wanted to photoshop in the one kid and daughter-in-law that was not there for the shoot. That
was a definite no for me. I’m not photoshopping another photographers photo into mine. My question is how many of you swap faces in a family portrait to get all smiles and happy looks.
