On Monday, I took the day off to stay home with Piper and run the kids to and from school. My mom and dad are in New Orleans this week and I didn't want to ask my MIL to come down an extra day since I knew that she might want to spend the day with Kelly and the babies.
On the day we met the twins for the first time, I mentioned to Kelly that I was off and would she want me to come and take some photos of the girls. While I do NOT consider myself to be any kind of seasoned photographer, I know a little bit about exposure, f-stops, and lighting and that if you take enough photos you'll get a few good ones.
Well, I feel like I hit pay dirt on Monday! I took individual shots of both babies and while several of them turned out really good, the ones of them together turned out fantastic! I gave all the originals to Jesse and Kelly and they are going to use them for a few things but they have shared this one a few places so I thought I'd share it with you too.
And here is one of my favorites:
I just adore my little nieces and these photos make me love them even more! But this also makes me realize I could never have a career in photography. One of the reasons I did this was because I truly love them (much like I love taking photos of my own kids) and I think, for me, to take a good photo, I really need to be invested.
I wish I'd had a better camera when my kids were babies. Sigh. I guess Lily and Harper better get used to me taking their photos. I was so proud to give such special photos to Jesse and Kelly and to have them met with such appreciation. The gift that keeps on giving....
