Bill's Blog

the Big H

Howdy–I’m Harrison . . . mr. bill’s middle child.  Ever since Dad invented the Watermullet, he’s been trotting all over town, showing it off.  [I'm ashamed to say that he'll soon have more Watermullet photos to share.  Someone please stop him.  One day I'll be a teen-ager, and Dad's blogs won't be nearly so funny.]

In the meantime, business still goes on, and the Muddy Mayhem portrait event is quickly approaching: September 11-12th.  My siblings and I convened, then decided that I should be the one to tell you a little more about the Mud Special.  Dad has created oodles of photos of us [but not nearly as many as you'd think], but none are as great as the mud photos!  Well . . . meeting Santa is pretty great, so those are good photos.  5 a.m. in the Outer Banks, in front of a lighthouse, wasn’t such a fun time.

Here’s my 5 reasons why I loved the Mud Session from last year, and why I’m eager to jump in again:

5.  I’m not like most other kids.  I don’t like to sit in one place, do exactly as I’m told, and look just “the right way” for my photos–whatever that means.  In most of Dad’s photos, I’m laughing wildly, or looking like a doofus, or just “acting like a maniac,” as Dad likes to say.  When Mom and Dad dropped us in the mud for photos, I had found my home.  I laughed wildly, looked like a doofus, acted like a maniac . . . and Dad did, too.  They still tell people that I “stole the show” in that session.

4.  Summertime is hot . . . and a mudbath feels great.  After the session, Mom turned the hose on me, then a real shower.  Sweet relief from the heat.

3.  During most of our portrait sessions, Mom keeps a close, mean eye on my clothes.  I hate getting dirty, but dirt loves getting Harrison.  See the photo below.

2.  An occasional worm.

1.  It’s hard being handsome all of the time.  Dad wrote about this awful curse a few blogs ago.  Suffice to say, it was great to cut loose and stop being so “reely, reely, reely, reediculously good-looking” [Derek Zoolander].

So–if your kid sounds anything like me [lucky you!], then you should schedule a Muddy Mayhem session.  As of right now, Dad only has 15 appointments remaining . . . and he’s also shooting Watermelon photos during the same time.  I’m told that packages start at $150–so Dad will ask for a retainer of $163.50 [tax included] to schedule your appointment.  All of that money applies to your portraits–no session fee.  Since Mom and Dad just sent out an email blast about the specials, their appointments will soon be gone.  Call or email right now.

Thanks for checking in.  I’ll hope to blog for you again soon.
