Behind The Scenes, Grandparenting Creatively

My husband and I have been watching our three grandsons during the week since December. We love them to dearly, but it is a lot of work. Me being a photographer and my husband being a very creative person, we got the idea to recreate iconic photos using them as the subjects. This  activity  would be time spent well- so we thought. They were not that into it until we bribed them with going to Target after, so that they could pick out a toy. Then we had full cooperation, sort of.

​The above image is a remake of the famous Yalta Conference picture, It is the end result. The original is below, followed by what happened behind the scenes. I think the BTS images are funnier than the final image. Scroll down to see them.

Baby James thought it was a fun game to throw the cigar......
Picture
every time we tried to get him to pose with it.
Picture
Picture
He's done.
Picture
Johnny was fine, as long as he could watch his iPad while waiting for his turn.
Picture
Lukey was good, too!
Picture
There was a little coaching from PopPop.
Picture
"How much longer???"
Picture
Remaking The 3 Stooges picture, was our next endeavor. Johnny made an excellent Moe.
Picture
Lukey was not thrilled about his part; Larry.
Picture
I hope he laughs at these pictures someday instead of getting mad at us.
Picture
Pop Pop was ready to stand in as Curly incase Jamsey was not willing.  Pop Pop was practicing with Johnny to show how to gently tug on his ear, which was required in the picture remake.
Picture
Even though Lukey seemed to enjoy pulling on his younger brother's ear, James did not want any part of it.
Picture
I promise you, Jamesy was not hurt, he had just woken up and was cranky, so Pop Pop would have to be Curly.
Picture
Picture
Oh man! Things got a little chaotic, as it always seems to get with 3 boys!
Picture
Picture
We did manage to get enough shots to create the final image. Stay tuned for more behind the scenes in a future blog.

    After 31 years of teaching, I have decided to retire and start a new chapter of my life as a photographer. It has been my passion for about 7 years now.
