A couple of weeks ago, I decided to try to get some pictures of Anneliese and Joey together, with my real camera. I have a bunch of phone pictures but not a lot of the two of them together, and not really good quality pictures.
First of all? This guy. His hair. It kills me. How can a kid have such cute hair?? And of course, his eyes.
Anneliese took some convincing to play to the camera, but I love the real smiles I was able to capture.
There’s this… I tried to get her to lay right beside him. She was like, “Why am I doing tummy time like a baby??” So confused. And Joey kept rolling away. So this is the best one I got of this.
This is my favorite from that afternoon. The hand holding! The kiss! All the perfect hair and sparkly eyes! This is my computer wallpaper now.
This was a “for no real reason” photo session. Do you take pictures for no reason? Or do you always seem to have an “event” or a theme for your pictures? How often do you get out your real camera (if you have one) versus just using your phone to snap pictures?
I'm a Navy wife and stay at home mom of two beautiful children. I cook simple, delicious, grain-free recipes, do crafts, decorate my home on a budget, and keep a happy household. I tandem breastfeed, babywear, cloth diaper, practice elimination communication, homebirth, and co-sleep, but I'm not a hippie.
I take 95% of the pictures of my daughter with my phone… and before I had her, the same was true about my dogs. I have a small compact camera and yet the act of actually pulling it out, taking pictures, and then *gasp* connecting it to the computer to upload the pictures just seems so difficult and yet I would like to have photos I can actually make prints of one of these days. The benefit of my phone is I can take 10 seconds and snap a picture without disrupting whatever is going on.
But yes… real photos is on my list… one of these days… before she’s 16 hopefully
That last picture is perfect!!! I try to take pictures on a regular camera but with a toddler who is constantly on the move, it’s hard to get even a couple of decent shots.
I don’t have a good camera on my phone so I use my regular camera a lot. I don’t ever have a reason I just take pictures (mainly of J2) all the time. I have way too many pictures of him if you ask me, but I still love to do it. I’m gonna have to build more shelves just to accommodate all the photo albums…haha!
I love the photos, especially the last one. I use my camera a lot but I take more nature,landscape & pet photos. Not many with people. When my daughter was little, I took lots of pictures of her.
