She’s reached that
age; you know the age when they stop smiling when you are hiding behind the
camera. The sound of my voice is no longer enough. I’ve tried the goofy faces,
squeaky toys and funny sounds but nada. Oh she smiles broadly when she sees my
face but the minute the camera comes up, poof the smile is gone.
I’ve decided I needed some help with this so I registered
for Elisha Snow’s Big Picture Class Candid Kid Captures. I’m eager to get started and lean some tricks to make that
smile stay.
And since today is Wednesday I’m linking up to Ashley Sisk’s
Wittle People Wednesday for the very
first time.
what a cutie patootie, even without a smile!!
ReplyDeleteShe is so gorgeous! It gets harder ... they start moving so quickly it's really hard to catch them even with a fast lens. And when they're 5 ... well, mine doesn't want her picture taken much of the time. But that doesn't stop us from trying, does it? After all ... that's what grandmothers are for!
ReplyDeleteShe is so cute Cindy, love those eyes. Lucky you to have this sweet thing to enjoy and photograph her growing.
ReplyDeleteHave you tried these for your camera when you are photographing her? I used something like this when I did my grands pictures. They are called Shutter Huggers.
