Photoshoot Outtakes & Bloopers [Round 3]

I wasn’t joking when I said there were so many photoshoot bloopers from the last calendar year that it would take more than one post to share them all. In today’s gallery you’ll see all the usual categories of awkwardness represented, from WTF Is My Face Doing to Whoops I’m About To Fall, but this time around you’ll see a lot of I Find It Awkward Waiting For The Lighting Settings To Be Tested and the occasional Oh Look At This Weird Thing Growing Over Here. You ready? Let’s go, kiddos!

: We begin with some poor attempts to get a cute mid-air jump shot

: Just, could you not? You can’t do them, Aimz, give up

: Twirling doesn’t necessarily go that well either because sometimes you lose a leg

: And apparently now I’m just going to dance like a crazy

: Given up. Fallen asleep.

: Someone found some nature. In the woods. How clever

: …And she is not impressed by it

: Aaaand now I’ve decided I’m a Disney Princess

: For like the 38th time on a shoot

: Seriously. I was singing songs from Enchanted

: And still singing…

: Oh god, this song never ends

: Is it finally ending? In what appears to be…a sneeze?

: Oh good. Now I’ve found a stick I’m pretending is a wand. Excellent. Big improvement.

: After all that excitement it’s time to have a little rest. Never has anyone ever looked so awkward trying to get into position

: I feel awkward posing when the photographer is just checking the light settings…

: Soooo I do graceful things like this

: And this

: And this. Although to be fair, that is an excellent dance move. I picked it up from my 2-year-old niece, so it’s clearly a winner

: Another move from my niece. Because I’m cool like that

: Lolololol I’m just sooo funny #not

: And once again I have fallen immediately asleep on set

: Twirling fail. One of dozens

: What are you even doing, Maimz?

: As a country girl, I thought maybe I might be able to find a way to get some cute shots with a gate

: I was 100% wrong

: Yep, climbing it. That’s bound to improve the situation

: Oh yeah. Yeah, this is definitely working

: I look great, the dress looks great, what else could I want?

: I mean, I’m not falling off, so that makes it a successful shot, right?

: IT’S NOT WORKING, OKAY? STOP IT. YOU’RE EMBARRASSING US BOTH SO BAD RIGHT NOW OMG

: So after the gate I decided to attempt some jumping shots. You know, because my ideas were working so well that day

: It’s going brilliantly

: Like, 10/10 nailing it

: Maybe sitting in the grass will be cuter?

: Marginally, you loser. Alright, stop it, let’s move on

: Um, are you taking my picture?

: Do I LOOK like I’m ready?

: Luckily I’m just so photogenic all the time always

: HELLO, FRIEND, IT IS MAYMEE. I HAS A PHONE AND 0% ATTRACTIVENESS

: ‘Let’s go in the flea market for pics,’ I said. I’m sure I can be trusted to take lots of serious, pretty pictures in there…

: NOPE, TOO BUSY BEING A PIRATE

: A circle? Sure, better put my face through it

: Genuine excitement because I forgot I was supposed to be modelling and not actually shopping. Obvs I bought it

: HELLO, FRIEND, IZ MAYMEE AGAIN. I NOW ANSWERING OVA PEEPLES FONES.

: Derp face because HOGWARTS ZOMG

: I don’t apologise for Potter excitement because it is my life blood

: Day at the beach being super profesh by a wall

: First, lemme just make some adjustments

: Alllllmost reaaady

: Is it windy or am I just REALLY happy to see you? #packing

: Fallen asleep on the job as usual

: I think you might need to adjust your skirt just a bit

: You’re not even trying, Harman

: GET ME ON THE SWINGS, I said. IT’LL BE SO CUTE

: Except maybe not

: ‘Haha is it cute when I spin round and round?’

: ‘Ah who cares, this is fun! Can I be 7 again?’

: Disgust or awkward adjustment? You choose

: Excited sleeping. That’s a new one

: ‘Will a picture work under here?’ NOPE

: Scream, yeah, that’ll improve the shot for sure

: Wanna guess how many times I screamed ‘I’M QUEEN OF THE WORLD!’

: So determined to find something that works on the playground

: Mate, did you forget you’re supposed to be showing off the DRESS?

: OK, I’ve just become over-excitable and given up by this point

: Woman child

: ‘Oh, that’s such a pretty dappled lighting area there.’ Yeah, that doesn’t mean it’ll make a good picture to show off the dress though, bruh

: ‘Maybe I’ll look graceful stepping down off the style’…Maybe not

: ‘I love those pictures were the girl is leading you away, can I do that?’ No, no I can’t

: Oh good, it’s time to try twirling again

: Nailing it

: 10000% best twirler ever, obviously

: And now that I failed at twirling, seemed like an EXCELLENT time to fail at the falling style shot too

: More failed falling. Because if you suck at something once, why not do it again?

: Perfect time to stop to bite off a broken nail, such a good blogger

: I was on outfit 5 that day and had begun to get stir crazy

: Obviously it’s the perfect time to begin dancing

: Straight up not even paying attention to trying to get a usable shot anymore

: Add to the list: Cannot do graceful crossing the street shots, am not Chicagochicblog

: Shall I go pose in the doorway of the house that is not ours? Omg shall I?

: Awkward little teapot?

: Awkward robot?

: When members of the public live their lives in my shot I become a goblin person

: Modern day Mona Lisa

: Clutch purse mustache or hungry lady grasping?

: You failure

: OH, ANOTHER STRANGER USING A PUBLIC PAVEMENT, HOW DARE THEY

: Okay, you’re not even trying now, Aimz, let’s move on

: More beautiful getting-into-position shots

: Just glorious

: Oh good, we’re back to attempting to twirl. Thank god, I was so worried we had given up on that

: You know, because I’ve been showing such improvement

: En guard with a corn stem, really?

: So strong and pretty and refined

: Nothing better than pictures taken when you’re trying to describe and direct

: More direction in action, so flattering

: Not remotely ready for the hands-in-the-pocket shot, thank you niece behind the camera

: Aaaand now the small niblings have spotted what we’re doing and are joining in

: ‘Is it windy today, Aimz?’

: ‘Just a leeeedle bit’

: IT’S IN MY EYE, IT’S IN MY EYE

: Wind lending a super helpful hand, as usual

: Pinup poses happening in real life = never look as good as when they’re being faked

: My niece, who had taken a turn behind the camera, comes to get in on the shots

: My older sister, Sarah, who often takes my pictures, trying to shadow puppet into the shot

: She was trying to make a shadow dinosaur so I got the giggles

: And then I went crazy

: Because that is what I’m like

: But then we cuddled so everything was perfect 🙂

: Fast asleep but liner wings ON POINT

: ‘Eep, what did I tread in?’

: Adjustment shots are the bane of my existance

: Failed picture-in-motion walking shot

: This is my ‘Ta da! Are we done?’ pose

: I don’t even know

: ‘I thought we were done? Why are you still taking pictures?’

: Once more failing to understand that the dappled light WILL EAT MY FACE OFF

: ‘No, I’m getting into the tree, you stay over there’

: ‘Okay fine, just a quick cuddle, come on’

: NOW GET OUT OF HERE, COWS, I HAVE WORK TO DO

: Time to bust a move, apparently

: Do I think I’m Celine Dion or something??

: Sneezing or bug?

: The I’m-In-Position-but-I’m-Falling face

: What was that?!

: Worried??

: Adjustments as someone arrives…

: Heeeey little nephew! Com’ere!

: We are so good at taking family photos

: We are so good at taking family photos Part 2

: Motherfucking angel

: Nope. Still not Chicagochicblog

: Kissy lion, because that makes loads of sense?

: Have you forgotten your face is in shot or something?

: Yeah, we get it, you’re a lion. You’re a real maverick, you know that?

: 10/10 not taking this seriously

: Bloody cat, goddamnit Lily! You are in the way!

: How am I supposed to work like this? Soul destroyed

: Screw it, I’m leaving!

: Thought my face was out of the shot for about the 19243th time ever

: Time for more twirling shots!

: Because I’m so good at them

: Flamingo twirling, not exactly an improvement

: I don’t even know what you think you’re gonna get out of this

: Expectation: Cool, floaty feeling picture stepping off a stump. Reality: What is she doing, she looks stupid but really at peace with it??

: I see what you’re trying to do there, but I can promise you that it’s not working even a little bit

: Forget it, we’re done

OMG I CAN’T! I love you. This is gonna sound creepy, but seeing these make me want to meet you in person and laugh my ass off with you because you just seem so infectiously silly and down to earth. On a side note, the “gracefully stepping off a stump” shot is kinda awesome. I’m digging it!

Love the derpy faces! And I always prefer reading the retro blogs of people who don’t pretend to be perfect all the time!
