If You Give A Kid A Camera...

Hello Dolly!

2009-07-02T01:49:00.002-05:00

Was trying to get the girl to let me take her picture and she wanted me to take pics of the dollies. When she finally realized I was ~pretending~ to take Barbie pics and actually shooting her, she stole my camera(phone). For your viewing pleasure, Ladies Who Lounge (under a crocheted blanket just for Candy!)

Underwater photos ala Jamie

2009-06-24T11:19:00.002-05:00

We have this great little Olympus 850SW camera. We call it the "water camera" because it's waterproof to 10 feet and it's pretty rugged, we can drop it, throw it... this is actually the 2nd one we've owned in the SW line, the first one got lost. Anyway... Jamie took a photo of his cousin, Marie, underwater while we were on vacation :)

A year's ending

2009-03-09T09:32:00.002-05:00

Ellowyn turned 3 in February and I downloaded all the pictures from my camera recently. Yes, I am a little behind the times. I'm a mom of 2, it happens. Anyway, I wanted to post the last couple of pictures E took when she was 2 so that going forward we can get bumped up to the 3 yr old tag. :P

Here's a closeup shot of her sister with a blue Hitler type mustache.

And Ellowyn likes to play with exposures and new techniques. Here's a great Orange and Yellow photo. It's a step up from the Blacks and Whites.

A Budding Photographer...?

2008-11-10T15:30:00.003-06:00

Jamie took this one day at the soccer field... he even took time to pose the cootie in different stages of coming in and out of the drink holder on the chair. There were at least 20 of these on the camera... just a sampling...

Big Skate

We did a co-op on Tricky Pix and this is a pic Iona took.

Jamie's Self Portrait

Jamie's first self-portrait as an 8 year old...

Secret Friend

2008-10-29T15:40:00.003-05:00

Ellowyn took a picture of her imaginary friend. I don't know his/her name or anthing about it for that matter, she's very secretive.

Phantom of the Sisters

2008-10-27T11:43:00.003-05:00

Ellowyn prefers working her lighting for unique effects. If you can't place this one, you might have been out of the Opera scene for, well, forever. This is MaKaely and my sister, Kim.

EXTREME CLOSE UP!

2008-10-08T16:30:00.000-05:00

This is from the same car ride I posted last week. Yeah, I was desperate to keep her quiet here people. I told her take a picture of herself and told her how and she did a great job. You can almost see into her nose ;)

Cassie's Milk

2008-10-01T16:30:00.002-05:00

Cassie took this with my camera phone while we were driving around one day. She likes her milk! Okay, I actually bought it to shut her up because she was Little Miss Chatter Girl. Didn't work. She got chocolate milk and I got a huge headache. I remember being SO excited when she said her first word. Yeah.

Good Sister Shot

2008-09-28T20:58:00.003-05:00

Ellowyn has come a long way with her photography. I think it helps having a camera where the view finder actually works. I like the idea of the FisherPrice Camera, but this is the first money shot by my 2 yr old.

Caught in the act, pops!

2008-09-24T16:30:00.000-05:00

Last month, Tom and his friend built the sandbox for Cassie. Here she has caught them taking a break... back to work, boys!

Different Perspective

2008-09-18T08:15:00.000-05:00

Jamie took this standing in the fort looking down to get a different perspective... might have a budding photographer on my hands?

You must admit... the kid did a pretty decent job... :)

Vacation Box

Cassie took this picture of the vacation box. What is a vacation box? Click HERE to find out.

The Submarine That Tom Unbuilt

2008-08-27T16:30:00.002-05:00

I may have the wrong submarine, but I think this is the one that Tom was on the decommission team for. If not, then it's the other one. They all look the same though. Trust me. We have a section of a wall with mementos from when Tom was in the military. Jamie likes this picture, so he... took a picture of it :)

A Pig In A TuTu

2008-08-04T10:30:00.001-05:00

This is from a couple of weeks ago. It was in my mother-in-laws cabinet and Cassie wanted to take a picture of it. Alrighty then...

Cassie takes a pic of big brother...

2008-07-28T10:30:00.001-05:00

Jamie decided to be weird and Cassie grabbed the camera... a girl after my own heart!

Cassie's Trip to HEB

2008-07-22T00:30:00.000-05:00

I finally gave up looking for the point and shoot camera and got another one. So the kids have the camera once again. Cassie took it on a recent trip with me to HEB and I thought it was so funny (it takes less than 5 minutes to get to HEB from our home) that I had to share the whole set. For whatever reason, this slideshow is backwards, but let's just pretend I have a clue. :)

Introduction

2008-05-22T20:52:00.006-05:00

I have been a lurker for a since the beginning of the year sometime. So Sue Me. But I am here now, better late than never. I'm Jennifer and I have a 2 year old (Ellowyn) who got a pink Fisher Price *Hopefully Indestructible* Camera for Christmas.
This is Ellowyn's self portrait.

Annoying the dog...

2008-05-04T10:20:00.003-05:00

Cassie didn't realize she was taking a video I think. Poor Julie just wanted to lay in the sun and catch some rays. You can hear her telling the poor dog "Do something!" *laugh*

I don't know why she took it, but she did... it was on the TV and she was snapping away... I'm always amazed at what children choose to take a picture of.
