The Daisy Grip Giveaway!

I reviewed this product on our local lifestyle TV show called Studio 5. You can view the segment by clicking HERE!

Anyone who has even taken a photo of a child has probably used a puppet or stuffed animal to get their attention. Now they can free up their hands by placing the puppet/stuffed animal directly on the camera using the Daisy Grip.  For DSLR’s, it slides right into the hot shoe mount, and it can also mount to point and shoot cameras. The daisy grip is a product that is only about a year old and was invented by a couple who run a children’s portrait studio. This year it received the professional photographers association’s “hot one” award for the “Best Posing Tool”.

 But to get a genuine smile using the daisy grip, you can’t just tell the child “look at the puppet!” You have to make the puppet come alive. Kids love stories, so if you pretend that their favorite stuffed animal is being eaten by a scary octopus, and the longer the kid looks at it, the more free it will become, they will look in the direction of the camera with suspense, wonderment, and surprise, which will make for wonderful expressions in the camera. Kids also love it when the puppet acts a little bit naughty. For example, the puppet is so naughty for sitting on the camera. Does he need a time out? I think he does! The kids can’t help but smile when something silly goes to time out.

I tried the Daisy Grip out on the toughest subjects in town…my kids! I think we had success! My sister Erika took some behind the scenes shots for me, in my oh so very attractive backyard. Just goes to show even the ugliest of places can be a good location for photos!
