My little photographer....

Yes, there isn't just one in this house. I know nothing really about taking pictures other than to use a bounce flash and take a bunch and those are my only secrets or whatever you would like to call them to taking decent pictures. Now, I am jealous of  Kelly at Filtering Life because she takes some dang good pics and she totally needs to lend me some secrets but I am guessing those would include buying a camera that costs over 1K and well, thats not happening here.

So, for Miss G's second bday we bought her one of those Fisher Price Kid Tough digital cameras and she quickly took to that taking all kinds of goofy pics and I loved uploading them for a laugh but man those cameras really suck in quality and don't make the mistake of plopping down the cash for one because more than likely if you kid is old enough to figure that one out they are old enough for one of your old digital cameras. The quality on it was worse way worse than my camera phone and it eats batteries at an alarming rate.

I eventually gave in and gave her my old digital Canon A40 and she loves it. She took pics of poop diapers, butts, her brothers privates, my naked butt(scary), lint, dead bugs, feet and just about anything but peoples faces. But now she has gotten pretty good and can actually hold up my huge Canon rebel with the bounce flash attached and take pictures of whatever I need her to. Now, she has kind of ditched my old camera aside and only wants to use the big mamma jamma which I will only let her do if she is sitting on the bed or floor.

I just love looking at the pictures she takes while they are not the best quality since most are on my old camera or on her little one they let me see a little bit of the world through her eyes. So without further ado some of her creations:

Miss G's photoblog:

(Warning: Most of these are taken when I am super greasy right of out of the bed and pretty skanky. Thanks.)

These are from the Rebel cam. Here she is taking pics of me dressing brother and he hates this more than knocking his head into the glass tables.

Here is another that I didn't even realize she took till I loaded my pics and saw this in horror. Little G enjoying the morning milkbar. Good God I am surprised my hubby doesnt divorce me after seeing me in the mornings. Ahh!!!! I had no idea either that my other boob as small as it may be was hanging out for the pics.

Another beauty shot different morning and just as scary.

Come on don't you have this same face when you are changing diapers? No, really just me huh? Yeah love that no bra look too.

OK and these are some from my Canon A40 so the quality kinda sucks...

Can you guess what you are looking at? Yep my child likes to photograph her bro's poo!

A cute one she took of her brother!

not one she took but hey its pretty funny!

Wow, look at this artistic shot she took of the living room!

And now just to show you how horrible those FP kid tough cams are some old pics she took with that:

Her daddy saying Howdy! This is about as good as the quality gets on it!

And an old one of her brother! See how bad it is!

So there you have it. My little chick who loves to take pics and I may be a bit bias but I think she is pretty good for a three year old especially when most of them she takes with my 5 lb camera and she only weighs 25lbs herself!

awwww schucks! Yeah, there are a few secrets but mostly it is in the lenses and lighting...and all I know I stole from my husband! Thanks for the compliments. Tell Ms. G we will hire her in a few years to shoot weddings with us. Love her perspective.

That's it - I'm going out to buy a bounce flash this weekend. I'm impressed by the little photographer in your house!

First, thanks so much for the Fisher Price camera review! I was thisclose to buying one for Emma for her bday in November! Now, what a great idea - she can have my old point-and-shoot Olympus digital.

Also, I can't believe you let Ms. G hold your Rebel! In our house, my Rebel IS NOT A TOY. And NOBODY is allowed to touch it. Except for me.

And last... now I want to get a bounce flash... and then figure out what to do with it.
