The wedding photos

I am now a lady of luxury. So i attend a course called, 'photographing your children', hahah! well, with all this time off work it seems like a legitimate period to follow other pleasures i have (photography, sewing, baking, eating, drinking Starbucks, TV watching). In the first session of this course i think i learnt nothing. I have however taken some good (i think) photos afterwards- why? because attending a course on photography legitimises being bossy, moving things because the picture will look better (no more statements of taking 'natural life') and all in all ordering the environment you are in around to make it a better shot.

We attended Cow Girls wedding on Saturday, which was lovely, and if anyone ever 'deserved' to get married it was her. I took loads of photos, however not a single one of her, or the wedding, just over 100 of Starbucks. Here are some of the results:

Rolling with intent

Starbucks has intent. She is crying with intent, watching with intent, and rolling with intent.

Babies are not supposed to be weaned until 6 months according to the World Health Organisation (changed from the 4 months it used to be), but Starbucks is ready. How do i know this?

She cries and then stops when you give her the apple core in your hand, she chews on beans and celery given to her, she watches you drink your cup of tea and sips at the same time you do and then yesterday as i sat on the floor to play with her and eat my lunch, she rolled over the floor to my plate and began licking the edge. She then grabbed my fork, and as i wrestled this dangerous spiky metal object off of her she grabbed a large piece of lettuce with the other hand and shoved it in her mouth. She enjoyed it too!

Naughty Starbucks. Am getting a highchair on Monday so she can join us at the table and not have to steal food off my plate on the floor!
