The Lovely Everyday: Birthday Number 5
You know, sometimes, I really get caught up in taking the perfect photo. especially if I have my Canon 6D
And then I get a blurry photo.
Or a grainy photo.
And I’m full of photographer angst, berating myself over what I should have or could have done different.
And I want to delete ALL OF THE PHOTOS.
Because they are not perfect.
But life isn’t perfect so why should my photos be?
I took photo after photo on Pookah’s birthday.
In my excitement to capture every moment, I didn’t constantly check my settings or meter, or white balance etc etc.
At first, I was disappointed.
Then the mother in me saw the joyful moments I captured.
The happiness on my baby’s face.
And all the photos were suddenly perfect.
My everyday was indeed lovely.
Head over to Bianca’s blog to see her version of the Lovely Everyday!
I completely understand how you feel. Sometimes I get mad because my husband got a better pic on his iPhone than I did on my DSLR. I’m glad you didn’t delete these awesome moments that you captured. Happy Belated Birthday to your little guy he’s adorbs!
If these photos ain’t good then I need to trash my camera. Chile boo these photos look awesome. I never check my settings for my photos I am so busy capturing moments lol. I may put it down every now and then to check and then change a setting but for the most part I am so in the moment. I am glad he had a fabulous party.
I noticed the Elf on the Shelf birthday decor! Looks like Pookah had a great birthday!
These pictures made me smile.
All of your pictures are PERFECT! The happiness you’ve captured in the photos = Perfection.
What an awesome party!! These pictures look pretty darn perfect to me. I think the happiness of the celebration is really what makes each picture. Love the birthday elf on the shelf stuff too!!
These photos are perfect! I can definitely relate though… I recently printed out albums for my kids after going through 1000’s of photos from 4 yrs ago, honesty the ones i picked to include where not the most technically perfect photos they were the ones with emotion and memories and you definitely caught that in these photos!
Glad Pookah had a great birthday! You captured some beautiful photos.
He looks SO happy!! Glad he had a great party! Also, I’m with Kita, your “not so good” pictures put my best ones to shame.
Looks like the best birthday ever and the captures are beautiful!!
They all look super amazing to me! Looks like he had an awesome time! Happy belated to him!
thank you!
Awww. You’re making me emotional because A.J. is about to turn 5 and I don’t know how we got here.
Wasn’t I just teaching him letter and how to walk?
they are growing up too fast!!!
