April 25, 2008

Look, the third kid! As I looked at this shot I got tonight, I realized my little girl is growing up. Fast. But isn't she turning into a beauty?

And, I want to thank the peas from last night, especially Bobbi and Mandy, who helped me remember that beauty isn't always about perfection. I decided to order a print of last night's photo for my photo wall-even if it's not perfect, it captures things I want to remember-those cheeks, those little lips, and a moment that's already gone, that I can't get back. Every day, he changes. Thank you for helping me realize that the moment is more important than the lighting or the composition.



85mm. ss/800, f/3.2, ISO 400.

Jenn, She is beautiful, and her eyes just sparkle with fun life! :)

I love the color one (go figure) I love the b/w too! You probably don't believe me, but I do!

You nailed it on the head when you say the moment is more important than the lighting or composition. If you can capture a moment, you've done good work! (And you always have great moments)!

Cheers,

Yay! I am so happy you ordered that picture. It really is beautiful. I had to realize that my pics of my children don't have to be perfect for me to order them, I just have to love them (for the record though I think that shot is amazing).

Your daughter is so pretty. You can just tell she is a sweet, great girl from this picture.
