The World According to Angie

Triple Trouble

Shot with Nikon D300s & Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8 @ 48mm; 1/60s at f/5.0 and ISO 800; diffuse natural light with no modifiers and no flash.

My brother & sister-in-law make beautiful babies. Their three girls are gorgeous ... but they're definitely triple trouble! Gabrielle Ilene, Lyla Mae, and Ivy Michele Lee. So sweet!

(And yes, it took me about 20 frames to get this one where all three of them were looking at me and smiling. Lyla likes to stick out her tongue and make faces, Ivy is squirmy, and poor Gabby was doing her best to keep the other two in line.)

But this shot made it all worthwhile!

Beautiful Baby Blue Eyes

Shot with Nikon D300s & Nikkor 24-70mm f/2.8; 1/50s at f/4, ISO800 using natural light and no modifiers.

This is my newest niece, Ivy. When this photo was taken - just a few days after Christmas - she was a bit  over 5 months old. Isn't she beautiful? Those eyes! And those cheeks! I could just eat her up!

To get this shot, I laid a blanket on the floor in front of a wall of floor-to-ceiling windows that were awash with indirect sunlight. Ivy had just woken from a nap, and was in a very good mood. I laid down on the floor with her and shot away. When I took this, I was on my knees, just a few inches above her.

Sweet baby girl!
