Taking a picture that captures kids’ cuteness takes skill and perseverance. If you’re like me and don’t have much in the way of photography skills, it takes extra perseverance to compensate for the lack of skill. Mostly, what I get is a huge pile of OK pictures—our March folder has 274 pictures in it! Every now and then, however, the fates align and I get a little gem of a photo like this:
…but most of the reason for any good picture I take is that my subjects [kids] are exceptionally good looking. Thank goodness Canon makes such a great Auto setting!
This week I had the epiphany that little girls don’t have to wait till Sunday to wear cute dresses! Rose has grown out of her newborn sized clothing, and now she has started fitting plenty of her dresses. I am such a loungewear addict that it seems weird to dress up my little girl if I’m just in sweats, but I’m quickly getting over that in the name of ADORABLE baby girl clothes! Rose has a much larger wardrobe of cute clothes than me anyways!
Ha—this face makes me laugh
Is this even possible? It happened today: they were both smiling, and I captured the moment! Even though Jay’s faux-smile-grimace is kind of goofy, this is my star picture of the week. I only wish I had removed Rose’s pants—I kept them on her till the last minute to keep her warm, and I ended up taking the best picture while she had pants on under her dress. Oh well!
Brace yourself for a little example of my… photo-perseverance:
**Question: what did parents DO before digital cameras?
Jay wanted to hold hands with Rose. So sweet!
When Jay had had enough, he left. Rose started tipping over.
I wish my feet were that cute!
Rose is 7 weeks old already!!
Trying to smile while concentrating on centering the camera and protecting Rose from Jay = dazed expression on Shaina.
As you can see, I try to live with moderation in all things except digital photography. Oh, and peanut butter.
