I always say I’m willing to do anything for a great shot.  What I don’t always say is that I’ll make other people do anything for a great shot.  I’m usually kind to my clients, really I am.  I don’t think I’ve ever asked anyone to do anything harder than say, lay down chest-first in an icy creek in their pretty white dress, or jump six feet in the air off a ledge.  And those ended up being really great pictures, so they were totally worth it.  But to lay down in a chigger-infested field?  Have I finally asked too much?

Are you kidding me???  A family portrait like that?  Worth a month of chiggers.  Plus, it may have helped that I felt so bad that I gave them a free gift for their pain & suffering.  I do have a heart, after all.
