My little girl

Last week, my beautiful daughter was brought into this world, and she was as small as a football. She skipped right over the crawling stage and scooted around on her knees. One day, she pulled herself up on a coffee table and she was walking from that point on, with no coaching from her parents. She's in Kindergarten now and reading at a 3rd grade level. Where did the time go?

    We as photographers have hundreds of images to document exactly where the time went. Pity those who have not taken the time to archive those special moments.

    Beautiful picture!
    Land on your right foot. Don't forget it!

    Rhyming slang for kid.

    Its origin ...well a billy is a tin used to boil water over a campfire (or a bong) & it sometimes has a lid.

    Rhyming slang came with us in the iron shackles from pommie land.

    fish!
    Beautiful shots (all four of them) you got here!
    They're very simple and spontaneous: exactly what I like to see on pictures of children.

    Of course, your daughter is lovely, and that makes it so much easier to get nice pictures! :-)

    Thanks for sharing!
    Take care!

    -- thiago

    PS: How much did you pay for that lens? ;-)
    I assume it's Canon 'L' glass... right?
