Thanks. These types of images is why I got into photography. I got a few more too

I hold this type of family photography in very high esteem. I think that these types of images are truly some of the most meaningful and personally valuable and significant images many of us will ever make. One's children are only little once...they will spend the vast majority of their entire lifespan as adults, not changing all that much--but at this age, the changes come very rapidly. I think it's just wonderful that today's modern cameras can make this type of available light,m real-life candid image with such high quality, without the need to bring in strobed light,etc.. This truly is a great time to be involved with photography.

Great shot. The light, her expression, the framing, the dof... all of it!

One last one.....

Is she mixing up some pancake/waffle batter? My kid looooves pancakes, and waffles, like I did as a boy. I use Krusteaze brand mix...I don't make them from scratch any more. I think it's great to get children involved in food prep and cooking, and they can actually "do" some of it too with things like waffles...they can spray some non-stick cooking spray on the waffle iron, and even dump in a pre-measured scoop of waffle batter, close the lid, and then wait for the timer, and maybe even remove their own waffle, then fix it up. Or make a mix cake...not that tough, but very rewarding for them.

Yeah, they love their cinnamon waffles!
