We celebrated Miss J's birthday today. This is her Birthday dress courtesy of her Grammy.. I caught her lounging by the window and was able to grab a few quick snaps before she was on to something else... She's a big 3 year old now.... 07-09-2011
Three years ago today, Miss J was born into our lives! She's my favorite subject to photograph, with her brother a close second! Here's a pic a few minutes after she was born: http://www.sandquistphotography.com/Family/Year-1/Jillian-Louise/5375256_oyAyo#329235113_L4o88
Now, she's already studying the computer screen! LOL! Happy Birthday J!

Well today my camera decided to not work as it should, so I'm with some creative editing... My camera decided to let the aperture stick to 00 and then bounce around... then a few minutes later seemed to work perfectly well...So this is way underexposed, and brought up to the most I could without getting blotchy.... So I'm not proud technically, but I like her expression and I guess that's really all that matters!

J is back in the gallery today... We spent a few hours out by the pool... I liked this pic, because of the light on her face, the eyelashes and the extra purple mustache... :)

Summer fun!

Reece has been in VBS all week and ended tonight with a carnival for the whole family. This is J in the bounce house showing off her rosy red cheeks! They do get this red....

Somebody needs a haircut! Especially since she will not allow anything in her hair to help keep the eyes clear! At least she doesn't mind getting it cut! This exposure was a bit off, do to the bright background, but a little help in PP for the most part it works...

Peek a boo! There is something about little kids hands...

So I just picked up some flash triggers and remotes and was goofing around with them tonight... and caught this image before I had the flash working and I liked it... Will definitely have to work on the Off Camera flash stuff a bit more.... Like buy a soft box! LOL 

Additional comment: I debated over cropping out the Hello Kitty stuffed animal on the left hand side of this photo. I decided to leave it because I liked the splash of pink that sort of matched the shirt... I did actually consider Art Hill's blog post: http://arthillphoto.wordpress.com/2011/05/12/sooc-or-not/

Edit number 2: here's a cropped version: http://www.sandquistphotography.com/Photography/Photo-a-Day-Extras/15460654_Rortg#1297105568_rfwdQKH

J is back watering the flowers or grass, I'm not exactly sure... but it's fun to do! This is one of those moments when you hope brother doesn't run over and turn up the faucet pressure!
