A Day in the Park with my Daughter

[Jman13]

Went to the park with my 16 month old daughter, who just loves to play outside. Had a great time, and she just had a blast. Some shots from the day. All with the 1Ds II.

great shots...my daughter is 18 months. I try to take photos of her while we're at the park too, but every time she sees the lens, she stops what she's doing and tries to grab the thing.

Oh man, she's adorable. Great outfit and wonderful captures, Jordan.

#4...her toothy little grin melts my heart. What a cutie.

[Jman13]

Thanks, everyone! She's certainly a photogenic kid, which makes it fun for me. Unfortunately, it's getting harder to get good shots of her now, as she has become aware of the camera. She doesn't grab, because it goes away if she grabs, but she does want to come over and ask what every single thing on the camera is...multiple times. It's pretty cute, but can be frustrating if you want to be taking pictures of her.

Still, one day, maybe she'll have the photo bug, and we can have daddy/daughter photography days. :)
