320. Maternity session....

I have been excited about this maternity session for several months now and I'm so glad we met up today even though it was pretty cold and windy outside. We were loosing the light pretty fast, but we still managed to go to 2 locations. I really don't do maternity much and I'm so glad I got the opportunity to try this out. Thank you Sharon for letting me take your pictures.
I am only posting one picture here, but there is a total of 4 pictures if you look at my business blog....www.anetteballphotography.com/blog

319. Sunset....

Even though she's walking out of the frame I love this one.
I'm really into the light at sunset right now. I think it's so beautiful and it makes the pictures almost look magical. You got to love how the hat is all twisted to one side...that's a 2 year old for you:)

318. Dinosaur's, monkey's and umbrella's....

That's what's being drawn here. She love's to do art and she kept telling me that she's drawing dinosaur's, monkey's and umbrella's. She would even show me where each ting was drawn which I needed since I was completely off with my guesses.

317. Favorite hair clip...

Sofia got this hair clip from Rebecca as a gift and she loves it. Every time she see it she has to wear it. She keeps checking that it stays in place all the time as well. I think she looks really cute with it.

316. Chocolate....

Chocolate...can't live with out it:)
What I like about this picture is that since it was shoot on iso 4000 it has a lot of grain...lot of grain...and it almost looks like I applied a texture on it which I didn't. Shooting people at iso 4000 with my camera would not look pretty, but it worked on candy:)

315. Late afternoon....

This is just another picture from the other day. I really like the light and the haze of the late afternoon sun. Too bad she will not stand still for me got get her in the perfect lighting situation and this is the best I could do. I need some older children to model:)

314. Daddy's game.....

Daddy got this new game for his birthday and I am so interested in it.

This is how she looks at you when you tell her to put it back.
This morning I caught her sneaking it off the table and running into her room to hide in her tent while looking at it. When I caught her she was laughing so hard.

313. Curls....

I took this picture while we were watching Pink's Grammy's performance on youtube. Sofia love her performance and claps every time the audience claps. I just love her hair right here. Can you believe that when she was little I didn't think she would get curls:) She had completely straight hair when she was born and it lasted for a few months and I thought it would last forever....wow, I was wrong.

312. Happy girl....

Sofia and I got to do a few pictures outside today before it got to dark. This is just one of them. I will post more this weekend. Doesn't she look cute?

311. Catch.....

Sofia and i was playing catch while she was taking a bath this evening. We had water everywhere, but it was really fun.

310. Happy valentines day....

309. Snow day....

We did let Sofia play in the snow for a little while. She didn't actually know what to do with it. Hopefully next year we can go somewhere where there is snow and she can see how fun it is.

308. Sunset....

We finally got some snow and it was a beautiful sunset tonight.

307. Sick girl....

There were a note on the door to Sofia's daycare when I picked her up today that said that a stomach virus was going around...I though...this is not good. As soon as we got home it started. She threw up several times and I've been so sad for her. Hopefully tomorrow will be a better day. She didn't complain much, but you can see on the hair that it's been a rough day....it's BIG:)

306. In the mirror.....

I just had to take a picture of myself today. It's a tad grainy.

305. Just one more.....

Face shots of Sofia. I actually don't have time to edit anything more today so this is what I'm sharing. Love the eye contact she give me here.

304. Hearts.....

303. My dog....

We don't have any pets, but Sofia got this toy dog the Christmas before last (it still works:)and she takes it work walks around our living room. She pushes the buttons while walking behind it and them laugh out load when I pretends it bites my feet. It doesn't take much to amuse a 2 year old.

302. Today I feel......

This is me today....my feelings have been all over the place.
(Tested out my remote again. I did lots better with the focus part. I had to manually focus the lens and that seemed to do the trick...I'm in focus)

301. Can I have.....

it? One of Sofia's favorite question followed by is it yours?

300. I don't want to...

Be in your picture. When we got home today it was almost dark. We only got to take 5 pictures outside and she didn't give eye contact in any of them. I think this picture sums up today:)
