Eldest and Middlest have been itching to try out my new camera.
They seem to think they know how to take a pretty good picture.
So I figured I'd let them give it a try.
No... they didn't want me to fix the settings.
And no they did not listen to me when I told them the shots might not work since they were facing straight into the south facing window.
Photography rules suggest photos will be too washed out to be any good.
That one should have the light behind them, allowing the subject to be lit.
But no, they didn't want any of my help.
And so I let them be....sort of.
Are you sure you don't want to have the light to your back honey?
What ISO are you guys on?
Make sure that strap is around your neck!
I was worried all their efforts would be for naught.
and this.
xoxo,
These Sweet Shots will be shared over at My3Boybarians for Sweet Shot Tuesday!
aw....super cute! I look at your girls and I think...will my son be a teen before I know it? wow....and great camera shots.
ReplyDeleteWhat the.... Those pictures are amazing! WOw!
ReplyDeleteYour girls did great!
ReplyDeletePS....still battling my jealousy over your seminar ;-)
Some rules were made to be broken. {Did I just say that?} But seriously - just when you think you have photography figured out, right? =) Amazing pictures!
ReplyDeleteWOW! I am constantly amazed at what my girls can do when I just let go of the reins. I bet you're glad you did! These are beautiful!
ReplyDeleteWhat great shots they got! Good lesson for this Sandwich Generation granny nanny, that's for sure :) And now that I think of it, it's actually one I've learned as well. My granddaughter and I were having fun with a camera and I thought all the pix would come out awful. But lo and behold, we got some really fun and sweet shots from that, too. Thanks for sharing the adorable pictures and your fun family memories. :)

Wow. Is it even possible for your girls to look less than awesome in a picture?
ReplyDeleteBeautiful captures! I really love the one of her looking down.
ReplyDeleteOkay, your girls are either learning from you...or this whole picture taking talent runs in the family!! Gorgeous shots....gorgeous girls!
