Well, I love getting compositional image inspiration from there for both my professional and personal photography. A few years back I came across a gorgeous photo of a mother and her daughter lying down in opposite directions. The little blurb underneath the photo said that this image could be taken annually to show the child\u2019s growth and age. A light bulb went off and I thought how wonderful this would be to take a picture like this every Father\u2019s Day for my son. In my mind I created my own perfect pose with my son and husband, but that was a fail for the first two Father\u2019s Days. Father\u2019s Day number one I completely ran out of time. Father\u2019s Day number two, when my son was a little over a year old, he just wouldn\u2019t stay still for the life of him. I was super sad that I had already lost two opportunities. Not this year! No matter what I was determined to get that shot, even if it wasn\u2019t as gorgeous as the image I feel in love with. Of course my son knew I wanted to take a picture of him and decided to get a little cranky. He knows now that when he sees my camera or phone he either runs or say, \u201cMama no pictures please.\u201d Well, here is how it went (in case any momtogs want to try it out, especially with a boy)\u2026<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Photo one-since the original images that I\u2019m trying to imitate was with both subjects lying down in reverse directions I thought it would be easier to hang my son then to get him to lay there. I almost got the photo but he wasn\u2019t looking at me and I couldn\u2019t see all of his cute little facial features.\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"pp-insert-all size-full aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.evamariephoto.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/fdb1(pp_w768_h512).jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.evamariephoto.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/fdb1%28pp_w480_h320%29.jpg 480w,http:\/\/www.evamariephoto.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/fdb1%28pp_w768_h512%29.jpg 768w,http:\/\/www.evamariephoto.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/fdb1.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Photo 2 (with a million in between) This is as good as it\u2019s going to get. They are both smiling and their heads are pretty close together. It would have been awesome if my son\u2019s hair wasn\u2019t flying all over the place and if while taking the photo I would have zoomed it a little closer\u2026and really just had them lying down, but I\u2019ll take it!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"pp-insert-all size-full aligncenter\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/www.evamariephoto.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/fdb2(pp_w768_h512).jpg\" width=\"900\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.evamariephoto.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/fdb2%28pp_w480_h320%29.jpg 480w,http:\/\/www.evamariephoto.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/fdb2%28pp_w768_h512%29.jpg 768w,http:\/\/www.evamariephoto.com\/main\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/07\/fdb2.jpg 900w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\">I just love everything about his image except for my husband\u2019s nasty armpit hairs.
