Black and White Wednesday

Welcome to my second installment of Black and White Wednesday sponsored by Lisa at The Long Road to China. This past weekend, I snapped a few pictures of Lindy running around in the yard before we went out for dinner. I got a few I liked but I thought this one was a really lovely shot of her because I caught her being still (which is rare for her) and just enjoying looking around in a really natural, unposed way.

I find it challenging to get natural shots of the Lindy I see and love because when the camera comes out she either hams it up or looks like a candidate from America's Most Wanted--not an uncommon challenge and frustration for those photographing kids.

Happy B&W day~

" hams it up or looks like a candidate from America's Most Wanted".... I cracked up when reading this.

Something about that picture reminds me of Natalie Wood in the movie version of Westside Story.
It is just beautiful.

(BTW, thanks for visiting my blog!)

Oh, I love this too!

I even spotted the sweet wisp of a curl peeking out on the other side of her beautiful face & radiant smile!

It IS hard to capture them spontaneously sometimes....but you sure did it & did it well!!

Beautiful picture!

I face the same struggle as you in getting Lily to stay still and not make faces for the camera. I find it best to take pictures when she's busy doing something else!

Beautiful portrait of your sweet girl, it makes a lovely black and white.

And I can relate about constant movement as my youngest son is quite the fast mover. I just try to be faster, I said 'try.'

Have a great rest of your day!

What a great photo of Lindy!! Thanks for your sweet FB comment. I just needed a computer break. We headed out to Park City for a few days and I wanted to leave FB and blogging behind. One can never really go cold turkey with an iPhone, though. lol

I hope you are all doing well!!

Hugs,
Michelle
