The Power of a Marshmallow

If you've read my blog before, you know I'm a totally incompetent photographer.  As my daughter has grown older and settled comfortably into the terrible twos, her modeling career has swiftly ended.  Enter Betsey Darley Photography.

The woman is amazing.  Her photographs are beautiful and she somehow wrangles her two children (curiously the same age as mine) into slowing down and actually posing.  I'm in awe and a little jealous.  Her kids are either angels or she is a genius (or both).   If the above photo is not enough evidence, check out her Facebook page.

She recently photographed my Stay Puft Costume and I couldn't be happier.  In talking with her, she pointed out that a child well supplied with marshmallows will cooperate.  In all the photography advice I've read, no one has ever mentioned a sugar/model correlation.  Clearly we've all been missing a major element in the field of photography.
