i have a few kids that i just have a tough time photographing. ariana is one of them. she is so bouncity that she rarely holds still for much. and she gives me these huge smiles … but avoids actually looking at me and then rolls her eyes way off to the side. but today i did it … i took a few great shots of her!

here’s the same picture … just full size.

have i ever mentioned how much i love a good brown shirt on a kid? great coloring!

and here’s another one of my tough subjects … michaela.

she likes to squint her eyes up when i take her picture. which for this picture was actually understandable.  it was  mid-afternoon on the soccer field … with full, harsh over-head sun. the worst thing for picture taking. lol! i’m not too worried about her though … i have the next 2 months to catch her at every soccer game (her big sister, alison and sarah are on the same team). so i know we have some early games in there which should give us better lighting. and i have to catch her early … before she gets her "gatorade face" … meaning a huge blue or red ring around her lips. lol!
