Emily

I love this park. Tell me the architecture here isn't gorgeous. We were killing time on Monday and decided to go here. That photographer in me was immediately wishing my girls were wearing some really cute dresses, but not. :( Anyway, here are some of Emily. I'll post the ones of Anna later this week or next week. I was really trying to work on metering here. Very tough. Some shadows, some bright sun in the background. That was not easy. Thank goodness for RAW. I will say that I did actually get two of these four exactly properly exposed with great skin tones, SOOC. I'll pat myself on the back for that. ;)

I'll tell you what... Is this a 6 (almost 7) year old attitude here or not?

Willingly posing here for me. *shocked*

She actually thinks this might be kinda fun. :)
Check out the holes in that smile.

Evolving to just plain goofy. :D

To... this.
OK. Seriously. Mom. Are we done yet?

I would have loved to convert the others to B&W but her shirt is too close in tone to the pillars and it all blended together. Not enough contrast.

You know, the sad part about all of this is that the pictures of Anna are so much cuter. Well, maybe "cuter" isn't quite the right word. Different. They have such different personalities. When Anna doesn't want me taking her picture, she just flies off on her own, doing her own silly little thing. When Emily doesn't want her picture taken, well, you see what I got above. Please tell me she'll outgrow this. ;)
