I had the recent good fortune to be around these cute frickin' kids with my camera handy so pictures were taken.
Miss Avery, while visiting the condo for a play date earlier today.

Jackson, the lighting at his parents' house is awesome.

Shutter 1/125 Aperture f/1.4 ISO 400I was reading one of Scott Kelby's
Digital Photography books earlier, I have the first two and just learned of a
third, and he mentions that the sweet aperture spot for portrait shots is f/11. So I tried that today. It didn't work with Henry, who was an unwilling participant in the 'sit still so I can take a portrait shot' game. But it did work with Avery, who actually came close and looked into the lens when I asked if there was a ladybug inside it.

bokeh in the background, though, don't ya think?

Oh yeah, it was the bokeh that caught my eye.
Wow - Avery looks so still in the ladybug picture. Since she is rarely that still in real life, it's rather surreal for me! Great pictures!
Beautiful!
