Last Thursday, we took our kids—those available—and headed to a park so I could get practice taking photos of other people’s kids.

Was I nervous? Yes.

Was I uncomfortable? You betcha.

Should I have been? Not at all.

Wheee!

It was fun taking photos of them the way I do of my kids. But the romance of the camera isn’t that strong with mine anymore considering they see it all the time.

These kids were so sweet! They loved getting their pictures taken and all of the kids were having fun playing together so we took our time.

I love her smile in this one:

And his in this one:

I have to share my favorite photo from that afternoon, though:

If I were a little more technically competent I would have had more photos. If, if, if…but it’s ok…slowly working towards that direction, I suppose but enjoying the path there in the mean time.
