Re: Portraits with or without the headband?

[Guest guest]

Gail,

We took 's portraits without the helmet for the most part. We have lots

of pictures taken with our own cameras of her in her helmet and we felt that

this was good enough. We have one professional photo of in her helmet

decorated with the local college football stickers on it and her in her

" cheerleader " outfit holding a little football. Too cute really - it was the

year our college team won the National Championship so we just couldn't

resist. I get more comments on that picture then any of the others! Just

another great excuse to talk about plagio - Jeez - I guess I need to get a

life!! LOL!! I guess I would say go ahead and take the bands off - it won't

hurt a thing and you will get plenty of snapshots of them in their band over

the next few months.

Hi Gail,

Its really a personal choice to photo in the band or not. We took so many

photos and video of in the band, that we decided to take it off for

the professional photos. Another reason was that we would be sending it out

to family; not that we were embarrassed or felt shame because the band was

on, but some family members think like the outside world, and would have felt

there was something " wrong " with him- we decided to keep that part of our

world to ourselves so that it would not create a problem for him later in

life with family members undercutting his genius!
