Even a blind squirrel finds a nut once in a while!

I wish I could say that I was confident enough in my photo skills to get consistantly good photos every time. But I don't. Most days I'm lucky if I get one or two photos that I truely love and feel proud of. Yesterday was one of those days. Isabelle is not nearly as cooperative with me when it comes to taking pics as Sophie is. So when I get a genuine smile from Isabelle (instead of her quick-take-the-pic-so-I-can-have-a-sucker face) it really makes my day.

Since photography is a hobby that has really taken on a life of its own for me, I need to be reminded sometimes why I got into it in the first place. I want to preserve smiles like this.

  6. SO sweet! I love your thoughts about your photography too. When you start to take your photography seriously it can be frustrating when you don't grow as quickly as you'd like to. You'll get there! :)

  13. I think you just said the most perfect thing! And what a smile you captured! : )

    The most important thing when taking pictures isn't always the light or the composition or the settings...sometimes it is your kid : ) and sometimes, it comes out blurry. or sometimes everything about a picture is technically terrible but you love it. and you know what? those are perfect pictures. I take those kind all the time. and often i put them on my blog. it's ok not to be perfect out here in blog world...i mean, for heavens sake, in real life i am so far from perfect it is crazy!

    thank you for reminding me of this today! and truly, this picture is PERFECT!
