Bryson is a Secret Blog reader. He was a child prodigy, mastering
Pose 15 by the age of three. He continues to strike Pose 15 anytime things are going well or one side of his back feels drafty.
Now he can strike it with his eyes closed and both hands behind his back. The pictures still come out exactly right.
How does he do it? None of your business.
Send your poses to info@littlephotography.net to be featured on the blog.
Now a little something for the ladies. But first, to clarify, good posing is gender-blind. Anyone, male or female, can strike any of the poses you see on the Secret Blog.
This pose says "I'm pleased to see what's happening to my left; but not so much that I'm willing to turn my entire body toward it."
You might whip this one out if you notice a bunny rabbit or some cotton candy and it makes you happy.*
Just stare lazily at the object of your affection until the smile creeps up naturally. In this case, it took about two hours.
It's important to get that back eye lash out there. You want people to see that. You've worked hard on it and this is really the only time when the rest of your face gets out of the way long enough for it to show off.
So there you go. Pose away! And send pictures to info@littlephotography.net. If your back eye lash isn't visible, we'll add one in for you. Don't worry.
*Being cloaked in darkness is optional but recommended.
My little one, Elias, has a friend. Her name is Aidyn. Aidyn came for Wildflower portraits a few weeks back and Aaron couldn't believe how much they look alike.
In fact, a lot of people have said the same thing.
What do you think?
It's a big day at LP.
It's Cindy and Scott's 18th anniversary.
Here's a before and after of the happy couple.
Happy anniversary you guys!
It's also Aaron's 26th birthday.
Here's 26 tiny images of Aaron to help you celebrate.

Okay, the Secret Blog has been getting a little less secretive lately. Thus I have removed the obvious link on the regular blog and will go back to my old ways - sprinkling it throughout our Internet presence in slick, secretive ways. This way, only the most devoted LP fans will find their way here.
If you're reading this, you're in the know. Keep it on the DL.
What's going on around here:
It's been crazy lately.
Wildflower portraits are going great. Coming off prom and heading into this event, Cindy has been editing like a machine. Sometimes there are actually sparks flying from her computer.
We have a new addition to the team that I'll introduce more thoroughly later. Her name is Haley, she's from Florida, and she eats dry cereal all the time.
Cindy brought in
Heath Bar Cake and I'm eating some as I type. It's really good. I'd offer you some, but I don't want to.
And Aaron has been hideously disfigured by poison ivy.
Sometimes people see our images and think to themselves, "How did they get that amazing shot that just BLEW MY MIND?". So here's a couple of behind-the-scenes shots of Aaron at work from our last official blog post.
To capture interesting angles during his shoot with Maggie, he positioned himself above her using techniques he learned from his mentor, Jackie Chan.
Here he is shooting and the following images are the resulting shots.
Do you understand the words that are coming out of his mouth?
¡Feliz Cinco de Mayo lectores secretos de blog! Usted es el mejor.
Usted sabe, el Cinco de Mayo es especialmente maravilloso aquí en Cigarra, NC.
Los pájaros gorjear. Los perros ladran. Los árboles ladran también. La espera, eso acaba de ser más perros.
De todos modos, en la Fotografía Pequeña, nosotros adoramos perros y cinco perros son mejores.
Así que disfruta de sus perros este Cinco de Mayo.
Your next pose assignment: Pose 14.
This is a great pose to use if you've been talking with a new coworker, but you haven't worked up the courage to reveal the ponytail dangling off the back of your head.
Just slowly turn your body so that your back is facing the person, but keep your eyes on him. You'll want to see his reaction.
He may be delighted, and paw at it like a kitten. On the other hand, he may erupt into a furious rage.
If you're a photographer, and plan to capture this moment, please, please, please be extra careful not to light the ear that is in shadow.
While in this pose, your subject will likely be so full of energy and passion that if you light the shaded ear, it will immediately burst into flames.
In fact, while they were shooting for the posing wheel, someone accidentally nudged the light. It lit the shaded ear.
Soon after, the model had to give up his lucrative career as Steven Seagal's stunt double. He has never struck pose 14 again. And very few people are even aware of his ponytail.
Send pictures of you and your loved-ones striking pose 14 to info@littlephotography.net.
