My Alana

Heather has almost all the fun photographing Alana. She does such an amazing job at it and we have so many photos of her floating around that I don’t usually think about picking up my camera to photograph her.  But Heather is showing me up lately with how good her photography is getting so I thought I’d photograph Alana using a lens Heather rarely ever uses… my 70-200mm!  It so heavy that it hurts her wrists if she uses it for too long.

So I took Alana out in our front yard and did a mini-photoshoot with her.  She’s amazing.

Nothing in this next photograph is sharp.  And I’m usually a stickler for sharp/crisp photos. But this soft photo works. Probably because we don’t see her eyes and it conveys movement. I love it!

She’s so curious right now.  She runs around and says “dis? dis?” to EVERYTHING. She’s learning at an accelerated rate right now. In fact, just a few minutes ago, I took off my shoes when I came in the front door and layed them down. She came over and picked both of them up. I asked her, “Can you put them back”?  She then took my shoes and walked into our bedroom and put them into Heather’s closet.  Close enough. I’m teaching her well.

Here she is wanting to know what a leaf is.

My beautiful daughter. I can’t get enough of her.  She’s the coolest girl around. She definitely takes after her mom.

I think I’ll have to take more pics of her. She’s growing up so fast.
