I took the girl outside for our Christmas card shoot this weekend. I had heard we were due for a lot of snow and wanted to get some good pictures of her before everything was covered in white. Even though nothing says Christmas quite like snow, I try to avoid taking pictures when surrounded by the stuff. I’m still a novice when it comes to exposure and trying to meter my shots in a world of white is pain.
I love this face because it epitomizes what her relationship with the camera has become. I’ve snapped thousands of pictures of her over the years and it’s gotten to the point where she’s no longer willing to humor me. I captured a similar moment when taking this shot earlier this year.
While this picture didn’t make the cut for inclusion in the Christmas card, I like it all the same. I had to bribe her with candy to keep the hood up.
