he’s growing too fast…Photo Tip

First let me say THANK YOU to all of you that left comments for Biggest Brother yesterday. It was his first day back at preschool, so when he got home I told him some people wrote notes to him about his pictures. He stood next to me as I pulled up the blog. I wish I could have gotten a picture of his face as I read the comments. We read them again at bedtime. He just kept beaming. It was priceless. When I was finished he said, “Mommy, they all think I am a pretty awesome photographer – just like you.” Cherished moment…thank you!

He’s pulling up on everything, but hasn’t figured out the art of getting down. He hasn’t mastered the staircase, but stands holding the bottom step and gazing up with intent to follow his brothers up. He’s too much fun 🙂

Here’s a little photo tip:

I have had several emails asking about lighting and why pictures turn out orange. The orange is due to the lighting in your house. If you come to a SnapShop I’ll go into more detail on ways to solve this. In the meantime, if you are able (if there is enough light), turn off your interior lights and use natural light coming from your windows. You can tell on the pictures above that from behind there isn’t much light on Rett – not a lot of detail comes out. However, when I moved closer to the window and used the window to light his face….adorable baby boy!

NOTE: When I talk about using natural light (like in the Christmas tree post and here) through your windows I wasn’t clear to say that the best time is when the sun is not directly shining in. Typically mid-morning to mid-afternoon when the sun is over your house is the best. You should be able to look out your window and not squint because the sun is in your eyes….
