My camera is glued to my face a lot recently : ) Since I’ve been putting off getting portraits done of my girls (I never got their 2 and 4 year pics done last year), I thought maybe I would just attempt to do it myself with my nice new expensive camera. The camera will have paid for itself in about 7 years with the money I’ll save at the portrait studio : )
Anyway, I was so ridiculously thrilled that I got pictures that were in focus (the past week of picture taking has been mostly of sunsets and stills because people just weren’t working so well for me). The girls cooperated for the most part, although Aidan doesn’t sit still, couldn’t if her life depended on it. The photoshoot started out just of Aidan because Ella got beautiful pictures done at school, but my dad rescued stole Aidan prematurely. I was in “the zone” and without a subject, so I nabbed Ella to come sit for me. She came unwillingly at first, Treehouse being the bigger lure, but it didn’t take more than 2 pictures for her to get into the whole thing and really be a lovely model!
This is just a glimpse of the pictures. You can also view them individually in my Flickr account.

The pictures are great! I thought I had favorites – until I saw them all!
