My friend Cheryl agreed to do a family shoot with me that was a little different…
A water balloon fight!
I think she had more fun then the kids.
A sweet moment after pelting him with a water balloon.
The littlest stayed on the sidelines mostly but still got wet.
I think both parents got into it…
See, I guess I was wrong. Only the kids enjoyed it.
It was so much fun!
Thanks for being such good sports!
To check out what they look like not soaking wet check out last years session, here.
What I am working on.
I saw a really cute airplane shirt on Zulily(a deals site), I am adding a link to it but you have to sign up to view their products.
I decided my boys needed and airplane shirt!
It was so cute (something hard to come by in boys clothing)!
Because I am cheap, I wanted to see if I could make it.
I have tried painting shirts before and while they were not complete fails, they were nothing to write home about.
This time, I really like how it turned out!
So here is what you need.
T-shirt (I bought mine in the boys section at walmart)
Ruler
Pencil
Fabric Paint
I did a search online until I found an paper airplane drawing that I liked. Then using it as inspiration I drew it using the ruler to make the straight lines.
The purpose in drawing it on paper first was twofold, I wanted to make sure I could draw one and I was going to use it to trace onto the shirt (that failed).
I ended up making a second shirt to find out if I could draw with pencil directly on the shirt. That worked pretty well.
Then I just went over the pencil with the paint.
My son asked if he could take off his Superman shirt to put on his airplane shirt.
Best compliment he could give me!
This would be a great shirt for a photography session by the way!
Nice and simple but with a little fun.
