Travel Photography Opportunity....

So I subscribe to an expat listserv. It is typically most interesting when we have just received our assignment and we can see questions/answers about the country we are moving to. I think on one occasion I have been able to answer a question someone asked about Georgia...but most days I skim and delete. Well one day, I see an offer for a free photo shoot....what! Family photos...I'm there!

There is a company called Travelshoot (who knew!) that will take photos of you when on a trip/vacation in exotic locales or with an iconic landmark in the background....(thinking if we ever make it to Paris....Eiffel Tower here we come!). Part of the company's interview process is a test photo shoot with a potential photographer. So we had to assess the photographer in return for some awesome photos (and giving them permission to use our likeness on their website)....sounds like winning all around....and who doesn't like being a winner!

We lucked out in our photographer was a young woman. Clarissa has always had an aversion to having her photo taken by strangers, but girl power will sometimes prevail over that....so we started talking about her about a week before, so by the time we met our photographer we kind of "knew" her and so Clarissa cooperated for the most part....

The boys acting if they owned the beach or something....

So if you visit Travelshoot's Fiji location page you will see our lovely faces there (kind of cool too). We don't get anything for the link....we just have to give them credit for taking the photos...(part of that winning thing I mentioned). If you are on our Christmas card list you will be seeing some more of our smiling faces coming to your mailbox soon. I'll add a few more here for Bushia/ grandparents/ anyone worried we aren't doing well to have their worries put to ease....honestly there were so many great shots it was hard to pick a favorite and we will definitely be printing and framing several for our walls.  

So I guess Mason does look a little bit like me....

Up to no good.....

When she wants to turn on the charm, she can really do it!

Vote time.....I like the one above more, it shows her missing tooth...documenting a rite of passage. Richard likes the bottom one better.....which one should go on the wall?!?!?

Sigh....he just had to "dab"...

There we go....we can frame this one!

Daddy and me.....

I think she was singing here.....

I'm laughing because Clarissa is singing the mommy and daddy sittin' in a tree K-I-S-S-U-N-G song (yes, she misspells it every time).

 Photobomber....okay, so maybe we got it so she was too comfortable with the photographer....lol!

Vinaka Vakalevu..(Thank you very much in Fijian)..for the photoshoot!
