As a photographer you will sometime hear people say, “Man, I wish I had your camera so I could take photos like yours.” Well, today, I can assure you, it’s not the camera!

I was rolling around on the floor having a tickle/giggle-fest with Jocelyn and was having a total blast. I wanted to try to capture a bit of it but my video camera was out of batteries. So I thought I would try to get some quick shots with my timer on my camera. Jocelyn moves so fast that I could barely set up the camera before I could grab her again and this was all I got.

What a bummer! This shot would have been so adorable! Her face is so cheery and happy, it reminds me of Miles’ smiley face when he was her age. (No, I didn’t realize a fluorescent orange jack was lying in the foreground.) Maybe I need to schedule a photo shoot for us sometime soon.

Just thought I would share. It was making me laugh so hard as I was trying to get the photos because she kept trying to crawl toward the camera. So regardless of getting the photo I wanted, we had so much fun trying.

PS She stood all by herself today for half of a second. This girl is on a mission!
