Compromiso: Dos (The Captioning)
September 2nd, 2008 @ 5:57 pm by Mrs. Avocado
Before I continue with our multi-part engagement shoot experience, I thought we could play a fun little game. I like games, and hopefully you’ll get a kick out of this one as well.
During our shoot we played a game that my roommates and I invented (or was this invented without me? I feel like I must have been involved in the invention of this game…) called “Make the Face You Would Make…”. Basically, the person behind the camera yells out a situation, and the people in front of the lens portray how they would react in that specific situation.
Before I share with you the actual prompts to these photos, I would like to explore your creative mind, and see what you all think Kelli yelled. Tomorrow my post will not only include some commentary, but also, some of your guessed prompts!
In the comments, think of a word or phrase that you suspect Kelli yelled out to elicit each reaction. Be sure to include which photo you think goes with which action! For those of you who are still waiting to have engagement photos taken, I thought that this little game was a great way for us to loosen up a bit, and perhaps if you play it, it will help you get comfortable in front of the lens, too!

I’m also thinking #1 is she tooted.
Photo # 1: “you spilled spaghetti all over yourself on your wedding day” (though I guessed that before I saw the comments that someone fluffed, which makes more sense)
Photo #2: Miss Avocado looks tired but Mister Avocado looks … either constipated or really embarrassed by something (sorry, maybe I suck at this game!). So, I’m going to go with “you’re just waking up!”
Photo #3: “Pretend you’re floating on air.”
Photo #4: Mister Avocado is pretending to propose … or else trying to play patty-cake. And Miss Avocado is either happy at the proposal or laughing at the game.
Photo #5: “You’re both excited!”
Photo #6: Wow … um … Mister Avocado is pretending to imitate a pig (maybe), and Miss Avocado is … making sure she doesn’t step on a crack (lest she break her mother’s back?). No idea here …
Photo #7: “I gotta go!”
Photo #8: “Santa’s here!”
Photo #9: “I get to wake up next to you ever day!” (Okay, that’s Miss Avocado’s look … Mister Avocado’s look is ambiguous)

About Me: Somehow this little farm girl found herself a genuine Pole to fall in love and eventually move away to Poland with. I am an LDS bride attempting to plan a private religious ceremony, ring ceremony, seated reception for 100, and an open house while coordinating for guests flying in from across the United States and as far away as Poland. I try to avoid fads, excess waste, and saturated fat. I strongly endorse photography, DDR, calorie counting, rss feeds, cooking, and utilizing your resources.
