Not long after Forrest was born, we bought our first P&S (point & shoot) digital camera. It's a pink Canon Elph, just like Avril Lavigne had on that commercial.
I, of course, had my professional cameras but we wanted something to have handy so that we could get snapshots of Forrest growing up. Last night I uploaded the memory card and picked out some of my favorites from the last few months.
My son Forrest is now one year old. I'm sure every parent says this, but the time flew by and it's hard to believe that it's been a whole year already. On the other hand, he's grown so much and come so far, it's hard to believe that he's changed so much in only a year.
Here are some shots from a quick photo shoot I put together.
As some of you may know, we recently moved into a new (older) house. We are a lot closer to friends and family now, which is great for us and will be even better for Forrest as he gets older.
The downside to buying an older house (in our price range) was that it required a lot of work to make it livable for us. It's been a long month of painting, laying new flooring, replacing lighting and plumbing fixtures etc. It's still a long way from done but we are finally getting settled.
Forrest has been a little trooper though the renovations...he's had to spend a lot of time 'trapped' in his exer-saucer...but now that we have gotten rid of the rather disgusting living room carpet he is free to roam about...which is perfect timing for him now that he can 'army crawl' like a champ.
Anyway, here are some new photos of Forrest at 8 months old.
Another assignment for my Portrait Lighting class was to use window light...so I got the best looking model I could find and put him in front of a window. I give you...Forrest and the Window.
Sometimes it helps to add a reflector to bounce some light back onto the other side of your subject.
