Where did I get the name "The Photog Nazi"?
Not only will this explain where I got that name, but it will also explain why I don't, nor do I ever plan to, photograph children. Because let's put it this way, a photographer yelling, "Don't MOVE!!! I said DON'T MOVE!", "Uggghhhhhhhhh!!!!", cursing under their breathe, stomping there feet, and {I'll be honest} acting like a two year old throwing a tantrum just wouldn't do well in business. Ya know?
If I were to show you why I got the name, all you would have to do is put a camera in my hand and tell me to get some good pics of my kiddo's. It wouldn't take long to see! And it may be that because they're mine that they just don't feel it necessary to look at me long enough for me to snap a photo. But the truth is, I can't even be there when they're having pics done by someone else without freaking out!!
So after many, many, manymanymanymanymanymanymanymanymanymanymanymanymanymany, many holidays, events, moments, etc. of me photographing my children, I was coined the photog nazi by my loving husband!
But seriously, it's worse than it sounds...I seriously just get SO mad! Just thinking about it is raising my blood pressure!
BTW, Merry Christmas Eve Eve!!!!!!

That cracks me up! I get flustered doing their pictures too. Getting a decent picture of all three of them, looking in the same direction and no one looking like a goone, is a near impossibility!
