It started out like this…just helping her Daddy water the lemon and fig trees…
…Then a thirsty (or merely curious) little individual decided to take a drink, mid-watering job…hey, why not?
…And this is the look of true pride. Mission accomplished. Two days later and she’s made me stop at every water fountain we see in every store we’re in so she can test out her water-fountain-drinking-skills…
…I love her curiosity… 
My photo advice to all of us parents? BE IN THE MOMENT : These photos were taken in mid-day sun…Kind of the worst time for portraits, particularly if you can’t get your little subject into a patch of shade lest loosing the spontaneity of the moment. If you can, move around your little muse and snap photos from different angles, as some will have fewer shadows, depending on the direction of the sun. When in doubt, I say click away. As a parent, you’ll surely love these kinds of photos of your child, even if they don’t win you any artistic awards.
Have a great week!
Good Heavens, Jane, you should sell those 1st 2 photos to Getty Images. Beautiful of the water! How you captured the light and color of the moving water. And your model is pretty adorable, too.
Oh my gosh, that is nice of you to say…thank you! I do keep photographing water and bubbles right now…must be my inner-child!
Amazing Photos! You are so talented!
Hi Jane, what a fantastic pictures, very inspiring! I used some of them on my Dutch blog, of course with reference to your site: http://www.leukmetkids.nl/?cat=30. Best, Maud
