« Capture: EXPRESSION »
Thursday, May 7 I really thought this week would be a great week to capture loads of expressions from my childrens faces. We have a wide array of facial expressions in this house throughout the day. However, every time I attempted to capture a face with an expression I liked . . . the expression would disappear. Really one must be quite diligent with children and their expressions and a camera. My children are ready to toss my camera right out the window about now.
I have so many photos that are almost what I wanted to post OR so close to a funny expression OR a near miss (or hit) of a fabulous facial smirk.
This assignment was much harder than I had anticipated. I really thought it would be quite easy to capture my childrens expressions . . . especially my little one who has yet mastered the ability to hide her expressions. But this little one proved to be the most difficult to capture. She refused to even look up when I had the camera in front of my face, even on my insistance and begging. For instance, right now, she is having a major "mad at Momma moment" and naturally I tried to capture it and she won't acknowledge that I exsist. But I guess that is what I get for trying to post a blog when she just woke up from a nap.
Anyway, my captures for this week of my children (of course) and their many expressions that keep me in Tiaras & Tantrums!
concentration (Got the tongue though)
disgust (I was taking too many photos of him)
annoyed (hurry UP Momma)
silly (Momma, take my picture now)
upset (just push me Momma, higher)
happy (Hey Momma, look at me)

You must have such a great time with them.
Awww.. you got some cute ones! But I've found that kids are like exotic, endangered animals; you have to creep up silently, with a really long lens, and blend into the scenery. Then, and ONLY then, do you have a chance to actually score a good, natural shot!
Great pics...your kids are gorgeous.
What a clever idea.
Wonderful! You got some great shots despite resistance!
Great captures. Your kids are adorable.
HAHA - the banana one is great!

I think you did a great job on this. Great shots!
yeah, i recognize the expression in that second shot - lol! i get it from my daughter on a regular basis. the only reason i got the shots i did this week was that someone else was actually doing a photo shoot of kali and i clicked pictures while they were working! you gotta be sneaky! great shots of your kids, good colors, great expressions, great captures - you did good!
my expression shots are now posted. feel free to come on and check them out :O).
Great expressions!!!
I love the first one, too funny! :) These are great!
Nice cute ones. :)
Have fun!
That first picture is amazing. I love the colors of her dress and the monkey bas behind her. Even though you were going for expressions I love the colors :)
these are great! even if they aren't exactly what you wanted to capture, you have yet another collection of really amazing pictures of your kids. do you have them framed and hanging all over your house? i would!
Great shots this week!! Love them all!!
Great shots! It can be frustrating to try to catch those great expressions, but you did it!
PRE-pre-teen angst and disgust is the best kind. I have one of Crown Prince Bryonicle that he took of himself...trying to look all angsty and stuff...sporting a big, red kool-aid mustache.
awesome photos. love love love the first and the disgust one
You captured some great expressions and it looks like they had fun.
Great expressions :) I think the first is my favorite, although the disgust one is quite familiar to me ;)
These are my most favorite pictures on your blog! Great pictures.
You probably have anwered this before but what kind of camera do you have?
Great expressions! Your kids are beautiful (don't tell your son I said that...but it's TRUE)! Isn't it funny how the fabulous expressions die a quick death when the camera appears?? And it only gets worse...My 12 year old has had dozens of pictures with his hand in front of his face to block my efforts. Sigh...I really have to sneak up on him.
Wow - that was pretty awesome, you're not kidding..what an amazing display of faces!

Great captures! Your kids are very cute.
Love the concentrated look!
Great photos! I just love your little one's curly hair!
Great captures, your kids do have great expressions!!!
I really want to participate this week! Is it open all day?
Oh, and the bannana picture is my favorite for sure : ). How cute are your little angels?
I love all the different faces, and your identification of them all really brings it home!
Great pictures...my kids get so sick of the camera they once hid it from me!
those are cute pics. I noticed I do better at capturing the expressions when I put my camera on that burst mode where it takes pictures continuous. Not sure what it's called. I love candid shots.
Beautiful photos! I think you captured their expressions perfectly.
These are great!! Did you use a different camera or lens? Love em!
Of course it helps that the subjects are so stinkin cute!
Ohhhh-tagged ya over at my blog too!
great pictures!
You certainly have a beautiful audience to work with.
Love that dress your girls are wearing. I just bought it for my girls too :) Love Target
Love the tongue shot ;) We have a lot of those lately!
You caught some great ones! Love the banana shot :)
These are all great! The first and last are my faves.
Kid always have the best expressions, that is for sure!
I love all of them. I like the disgusted picture most of all, though.
The first is my favourite but they're all great!
You are so TALENTED!! Loving your photography! And what beautiful subjects you have!!! :)
What a great variety of expressions on the faces of such beautiful children. And, you did such a good job capturing them. Great photos!
I have found that some of my favorite photos are those that I didn't intend to take. I was trying for another expression or angle and somehow something magical came up instead.
It may have taken all week, but you got some great expressions from those kiddos!! Good job!
Your hard work PAID off!!!! Fantastic expressions....great shots!! :)
Oh you did an awesome job! Great expressions from super cute kiddos!
I'm telling you, bribery is the way to go with kids & photography. I'm not above it. LOL
Wow - great photos and your kids are just priceless.
your babes are so precious. hope you enjoyed your day!
happy mother's day!
