February 9, 2010 - The Paws


Today was another one of those it's-10-o'clock-and-I-haven't-taken-a-picture days.  So, I give you Eli's paws.  Not thrilling, but the best I could do for tonight.  I tried several angles and points of view and this is the best I got.  Oh well, it will do.  Another day closer to completing the project.  :-)

February 8, 2010 - The Present


While Josh was in Miami, he was able to see some friends who we haven't seen for a while and meet their little boy, Ethan, who was born last summer.  They sent home some wonderful new books with Josh a present for Isabella.  Here she is just getting ready to open the gift. She loved them!

February 7, 2010 - The Hug


Josh went to Miami for the Superbowl this weekend.  Isabella really missed him.  She repeatedly would point at pictures of him, saying "Da-ay."  She would let me know she wanted them and when I let her hold them, she would hug the picture of like she's doing here.  It was so sweet!  I'm very happy I had the camera handy for this one.

February 6, 2010 - The Swing


Today I took Isabella to the park to swing.  She loved it when I started taking her last fall, but it's been cold and/or rainy to go.  But, today was beautiful.  Isabella laughed and laughed and laughed as I pushed her.  I took this picture as I was getting ready to take her out of the swing.  She spotted the little boy who had been swinging next to her playing with a ball with his older siblings.  Isabella is very curious and always wants to know what everyone else is doing (nosy as we say...lol!).  She was fascinated!

February 5, 2010 - The Ball


I am not exactly sure what to think about today's picture.  If nothing else, it is an interesting lesson for me as I learn to photograph moving objects.  Just before Isabella went to bed, she started playing with her blue and green ball.  I happened to have the camera in her room.  I snapped a picture right as she released the ball to throw it to me.  I'm amazed by how clear the looks, like it's not in motion at all.  :-)

February 4, 2010 - The Cat Eyes


Today's picture is of my always willing model, Zoe.  I think this is the third picture of her that I have posted on here that looks kind of like this.  But, I was desparate and this one captures her beautiful cat eyes better than the others, at least in my humble opinion.  :-)  I wish the tips of her ears were not chopped off, but I will work on that in the future.

February 3, 2010 - The Smirk


I don't have much to say about today's picture.  Again, it's my amazing little Isabella, wearing a fancy shirt my mom bought for her.  I took this picture as Isabella was waiting patiently for dinner.  She loves to eat, so mealtime is very exciting for her.  You can see how happy she is, eagerly anticipating her yummy dinner.

February 2, 2010 - The Eyes


I snapped this picture tonight as I was getting Isabella ready for bed.  Isabella was watching and listening to Elmo (yesterday's subject :-)).  She was in awe of his singing and story telling.  I love Isabella's eyes and I think this picture captures them well.

February 1, 2010 - The Elmo Doll


When I started out on this project, I did not realize just how challenging it would be to find new, interesting things to photograph.  And, I'm only through 31 days!  Anyway, today's picture is of Isabella's cherished Elmo doll.  I had already put her to bed when I realized I hadn't taken even one picture.  Just then, I spotted Elmo who had been left out in the family room.  He looked so happy and willing to have his picture taken, so I snapped a few.

January 31, 2010 - The Assistant


In my neverending saga of trying to get Valentine's Day pictures of Isabella, I tried again today.  I decided to try taping the fabric backdrop to a wall to see if I had better luck that with the backdrop/plexiglass set up.  I shouldn't be surprised to report that I didn't have much luck with getting Isabella to model, but I did discover that Isabella is a fantastic assistant. :-)
