My girls on canvas

Tonight I am so proud I finally got my stuff together and ordered baby portraits of the girls on canvas. I wanted two clean, simple and also similar photos of my girls, but the opportunity to get those photos did not present itself until this Sunday when the sun was making the lounge room floor a perfect shoot location. I got my little girl propped up on a soft sheepskin and got almost the same pose. I had a specific photo of my big girl in mind, taken while we were on holidays in France when she was about four months old. I was pretty happy with the results, and now two canvases will arrive at our house in hopefully not too long. I hope the quality is good, and hopefully it will be as I saved the photos with huge resolution to get them the optimal size for canvas printing.

Here are the two chosen ones:

And something cool I saw tonight:

I have many times talked to people about how the camera has taught me to see. I see my world in pictures. I can't help it. It has made me aware of the little things going on around me, the random everyday bits and pieces that most people probably wouldn't mention if you asked them to run you through their day. Even when my camera isn't in my hand, I see moments unfold. I see moments between strangers, loved ones, new friends, old friends, distant family, close family. Expressions, emotional responses, reactions, spontaneity. People and how they interact are immensely fascinating to me.

I came across this poster by random and just had to keep it and put it here on my blog. Thank you Photography Concentrate.

I may print it and put it on my wall, I love it that much.
