Corn field with a camera

Do you ever wish your eyes could take photos? Do you slow down your blink and imagine them being stored into a hidden album? Sometimes the camera doesnt quite capture things how my eyes see it, or how i want it.. and i want to change that. Recently ive been taking alot more photos to try and improve my technique. Ideally i would like to take a childrens/family photography course but nothing ive seen close enough distance wise catches my eye, so for now im happy just snapping away entertaining myself.

I love these photo's by My Pretty Mummy but truth be told, im abit of a pansy when it comes to Bee's. Instead i improvised and headed to a cornfield, dragging Annalise along to be my model. (It was intented for Rio to be in them too but he convienently fell asleep as soon as we got there)

 

 
 
 

As you can see she's a natural. It wasnt til i moved her further into the field that i realised how uncomfy these places actually are..i swear ive seen pictures of couples running through corn fields hand in hand? Crazy people. I guess it was a good job Rio fell to sleep afterall. Any heavy editing is down to my personal preference as i wanted a 'sunny look' and on that day there wasnt any..infact we just beat the rain home.

Oh i do like to be beside the seaside??

Ive just read a post on preparing yourself for the beach with a toddler,(See here) this couldnt of come at a more fitting time as yesterday we did take Rio on the beach..for the first time! We pretty much followed the instructions down to a tee but what if your toddler decides they dont actually like the beach? What if they hate walking on the sand and cling to you like a little monkey when you paddle in the sea? Ohhh just Rio then ;)

Despite all that i did manage to get a few snaps..not the perfect paddling sandcastle building snaps id previously imagined but thats the beauty of mummyhood. Theres also a few of Annalise, once upon a time she was the same.

Please note: our nearest beach is actually wet sand with puddles for most of the day, the sea is miles out until about 3-4pm. Those telescopes on the front? Yeah im pretty sure their there so you actually get a glimpse ;)
