I Tried Photographing My Daughter And My Dog And This Is What Happened
When our family pet, Mustang, came into our lives, I decided I will do family photos of him and my daughter - Aayat. This ambitious photoshoot almost led to a divorce.
I asked my husband to assist me with my family portraits, and it was worse than asking him to help me practice my driving. He just kept coming in between of that beautiful photo to give instructions to my daughter. For some reason, he thought he was helping me.
I almost missed my shot every single time... but then I got these gems out of my photoshoot ideas too. Never again will I assign the assistant's job to my husband, though.

This is so beautiful. It should be on a greeting card. All of the photos are fantastic. I would buy a card with any of these photos.

Yep, trying to enlist your husband in ANYTHING is usually a fools errand! LOL!

Just my two cents: I don't think you should mention the almost-divorce in relation to these beautiful pictures. Is it just a cheap way to get the attention of the lowest common denominator out there (the lovers of mere gossip)? Who the hell cares?! The pictures are very attention grabbing without any backstory, especially a negative one. You are a mega talented photographer.

I can't wait until she grows up and sees these. They are going to mean so much to her.

I think she was kidding abt the divorce...also Mustang isn't the dog is he? Bc I don't see any pics of your son...

"Almost led to a divorce" is the unnecessarily harsh thing to say to someone who tried to help.
Michel M. Prins 9 years ago
To repeat myself form a previous comment: "I do now understand that it was a joke, but it's not clear at all. In the title it says "It Almost Led To A Divorce", thus stating that it was a serious matter. Inside jokes don't always work when they're written out, so it doesn't make us "judgemental" for not having the ability to look inside one's head to understand an inside joke."

I somehow can't seem to respond to all comments so I will write here separately. I said it in jest. It was a joke. Figurative speech. Humour
Sujata Setia (Post author) 9 years ago
I have no intentions whatso ever of divorcing my sweet husband and I love him. It was written jokingly. I wish I'd added a lol! To all this.

These are phenomenal shots and the lighting is gorgeous! As for the divorce comment, it was obviously a joke that did not translate well for some people in written form. lol

I think the point was that she was the she was trying to get her child and dog photographed being natural and not posed. And I'm sure she was being light hearted when she said never again about her husband. Get past the negative comments and look at those stunning photos.

Why does your son look like a dog? This must be hard. (No seriously, who would call a dog her son? Oo)

All of the pictures are so amazing!! Is this what you do for a living because all of these pictures look very professional indeed , they are absolutely beautiful!!
Shahinara Craveiro 9 years ago
Oh how funny, your stories do make me chuckle!!! What a lovely relationship you have captured between the two kids. And instead of divorce, hubby can get payment in kind since you nailed all of these images with his assistance loooooooool !!! ;)

Your works were very beautiful, sweet and refreshing. It's sad to think that such a cute project had such a tense situation underneath. I personally think that an almost divorce is a bit extreme, but not knowing everything I cannot really comment. However, The saying, "More than one chef in the kitchen is too many." Is often true, at least it is when the 2 'chefs' aren't on par with the recipe. My husband used to help me with my photography projects quite a bit when I could still do projects. We didn't always meet eye to eye on everything, but we had to respect each other when we did have differing opinions, talk it out and come to a compromise when it came to doing so. Communication is key for even paid assistants, we just sometimes forget to talk it out when it's a loved one. Anyway, I hope you were able to resolve all the issues that came up during the project and continue to do more in the future! Good Luck!

I don't think these pictures were remotely good enough to mention divorcing the guy who cared enough to try and help you , and if you did try and divorce him he'd surely win custody of your daughter on just two principles alone , first one being that the divorce is happening do to (ok) pictures . that doesn't look good on your person and the second reason being you have a dog you think is your son that you named "mustang" . that's like saying (this is my human son dog named horse) plus I'm sure the child isn't getting a say on whether or not they wanted to wait around for all these shots that had to perfect!! plus she looks pretty run down tired in most these pictures so I'm sure that I am correct
Nim McCoan 9 years ago
She doesn't look run down or tired at all. There's absolutely no need for you to be so deliberately cruel, let alone invent things. You've simply misunderstood this ladies sense of humour. She never considered divorce. She's simply voicing a frustration that everyone experiences with their partners at some time.

This is the most stupid story I have ever heard. What a f*****g idiot. The husband would be lucky to get a divorce from her.

I don't think the divorce comment is meant to be taken seriously, and your comment is awfully harsh! I doubt you would ever say something like that to someones face.. so why say it here?
