| Not for the faint of feet |
I'm always saving pages out of magazines that I want to use for inspiration later on. I tore out this Lever ad a while ago and said to Mark, "we need to try this after Harper is born."
Now that she's among us and old enough to sit with assistance, I located the ad again and said, "Let's try this!" But what we realized, after taking the photos and hearing some feedback, is that a baby chewing on someone's foot is sorta gross to look at, unless, like the Lever ad, it comes with the implication of super clean feet and good hygiene. So I'm not going to share the actual foot-chewing photos with you, though I will tell you that it was Mark's foot (sanitized, of course) and, for the sake of comedy, point out that Harper had just gotten her 2 teeth. (Ha ha ha! I'm still laughing about that -- "no, no, honey, don't worry, I'll take the photos.")
These don't have the same lighting as the ad or the completely white background, but I thought they were fun and captured the same sort of idea...
If they still gross you out, I apologize. : ) I just wanted to point out that sometimes it's nice to try something new (and by "try" I'm referring to photography, not feet!)Labels: Harper |

i love these photos, joanna!
they made me laugh and
what a cutie that harper is!
thanks for sharing and bringing
a smile to my face today!
-
I think these are adorable :)
-
she is such a sweetie! love that you were inspired by the ad and went with it. only you could pull something like this off, j. :)
-
I can't tell you enough how beautiful Harper is! I love how she has a firm grip (with both hands) on Mark's feet. Making sure they don't get away from her.
-
I think they are ADORABLE photos!!!! She is such a doll!
-
Joanna.... I'm kinda grossed out and I've had people vomit on me... :) Looks like Harper's happy though. I like the lighting too. :)
-
That is absolutely ADORABLE.

Hi, If a national company can publish it with success, and not have half as cute a baby in the photo they use; then you can do it even better seeing as your model is way prettier. I love them.
-
LOL!! Thanks for making me smile, Joanna! So darn cute!
-
-
oh that is funny!
My family developed the expression, "Suck a toe!' and if only I could convince one of the kidlets to suck on my toe for a picture like this I would be so happy. They are too old and wise at just 4 years and 1 year old. Good thing you did this before Harper knew enough!
-
Okay...I HATE feet so even a cute little Harper chewing on them just makes me go EWW!!!!!!! :) But she sure is cute minus that big ugly foot...yep called Mark's foot ugly..sorry mark! LOL! But you definately tried something new! Awesoem lighting!
-
I like the photos by themselves, but even more with the addition of the inspiration photo and the story behind it. Harper is beautiful! Mark has cute feet, too! What a neat story.
-
Um, yeah, your baby should be a model. :) How often do you hear that? Love it!
-
-
I think they are adorable Joanna!! She is so darn cute!!!
-
I think they are darling Joanna! Great way to get a perspective on Harper's size - how small she is - and how....big (???) dad's feet are. (Not to say that your husbands feet are big.....just that they are big in relation to Harper of course.)
:)
You know what I'm trying to say, right??
-
You crack me up! And if you hadn't mentioned that the whole idea is a little gross, it never would have occurred to me to be grossed out by it. (Then again, I'm married to a monkey who'll pick at me all day and would probably chew on my toes if they weren't so swollen.) :)
-
so adorable! Harper is so cute too! you are a great photographer!
-
That is just way too cute - love the photography here... and I wasn't grossed out until you mentioned it! LOL!
-
TOO funny... so cool that you experimented... that is just TOOO funny!! LOL!! i dunno.. i hope your husband's feet are cleaner than *my* husband's... lol!!!! i don't trust his feet too much. ;-) Great photos!
-
Tell you dh he has great feet! :)
-
They are SO cute Joanna!!! And I like yours way better than the ad! Just adorable! And I'm sure Mark's feet were just fine - I'm not grossed out at all. :-)
-
Okay, how did you get her to nibble? Did he just wave them around and she felt compelled to put them in her mouth? I have always wondered what goes through babies' minds!
She's such a blessing to us!
Great way to start the weekend!
