The world from a toddler

I thought I would share a couple of photos I took of Devine last month. Devine loves to get her photo taken, but there are days she rather explore and these photos are always my favorite.
I love taking photos of my girls.  I always told myself, I would capture every minute I can get with my girls so I can show them later on and show my grandchildren how their mothers were.  Believe me....I have taken over a lot of photos of my first daughter and now my second daughter is getting the same treatment.  Between the both of them, they will have a lot of photos to share with their children.

I love taking photos of Devine's eyelashes.  She has some VERY long eyelashes since the day she was born and I have been infatuated with them.  I love taking photos like the one above to capture them.  

There's some photos I do no retouch at all and this one above is straight out of my D700.  No effects or editing at all.  This is the main reason why I love Nikon over other cameras.  If the settings in the camera are the way I like and the lighting is perfect...I choose these photos over any edited photo out there.
This was taken before Valentine's Day.  She did not want anything to do with the heart and she kept trying to hand it off.  She wanted to explore instead.

I promise to share more later on and next time I will share some of Alexia. 

Alexia has always been my natural model in front of the camera.

In fact, I'm overdue to take her portraits since she is now missing two teeth and a third is about to fall out.  She has been nicknamed "Toothless" because of her missing teeth.

The first thing she did after she lost her two teeth was get upset about her spring portraits.  I had to reassure her that every child will have a picture day where they are missing teeth.  It's childhood and it's pictures like those...that make this Mama realize how fast my little girl is growing up.  

Much Love,
