Bubble Gum and Emily

Sometimes I get ideas in my head about photos I want to create. This time it was about bubble gum and the color pink. I asked my youngest daughter if she would be willing to be my subject.  I could see her with the freckles and the curly hair and green eyes, as the perfect subject. She reluctantly agreed, with an eye roll. My girls know I get, obnoxiously excited when it comes to my photography ideas, but they almost always have fun.
Well as it turns out, she and I did not find the time to do the photo together, but my oldest daughter had some time because she was on school break and was in Maine with me.  With out hesitation, she agreed to be my subject.
I was ready. I had lightning, a pink head band and bubble gum.
​The chewing of multiple sticks of gum started.

I envisioned a big pink bubble as part of the image.

Unfortunately, no matter how many sticks of gum she chewed, the bubbles were small and popped right away.  So we hopped in the car and drove to the nearest store, 20 minutes away. We are not close to much in Maine.

We returned home and learned that bubble gum brand does matter. Bubble Yum, is the better gum! (If you want stronger and bigger bubbles)

This is my final image and it is what I had in mind.  She nailed it. I colored the background and the sweater to complete my idea. However...........

When we were out at the Dollar Store getting gum, we found this pink umbrella, which led to this...................

...........an image that I could use for my 52 Frames challenge. The current assignment was, "A line from a song." This is, Under my umbrella," by Rihanna.

Special thanks to Emily, it was really fun to do this shoot together, and to her husband Corey, for testing his fear of heights to climb up high to pour water over the umbrella in the freezing cold. Great memories were made.

    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.
