So, over the summer I started my own photography business. I've enjoyed taking photographs for quite sometime. I used to play with my Dad's old 35mm Nikon and actually took decent photos. Most of my photos were of animals or something in nature. Then I had kids. I bet I have thousands of pictures of my kids. I love capturing their little faces, hands, fingers, toes, belly buttons, etc. in that particular moment. Not to mention that both of my children are EXTREMELY photogenic!
Anyway, two nights ago I was thinking of some ways to practice with my new camera. I planned to set up a backdrop and place my daughter, dressed in her Halloween costume, in the center of my little makeshift studio and shoot away. Well, she didn't want to do that. "No stank you, Mommy." Ok. Then I thought I would have her sit with one of our dogs and get some "little girl and her sweet puppy pictures". The dog wasn't having it. She ran 2.5 miles with me that afternoon, then played outside with her brother until dinner time. Once she came inside she was too tired to do anything.
I finally told my daughter that my idea wasn't working and I was just going to pack everything up and put it away. She said "No, I'm coming!" and ran into the room. She put on her princess dress, necklaces, (I helped her with the tiara), and she got out her tea set. Then, I got the MOST AMAZING photos of my sweet little girl. She never wants me to take pictures of her, but that night the stars were aligned just right. She is so gorgeous...I can't stop looking at her! I'm really lucky this little package of perfection in MY daughter!!
