{Sunday Snapshot} Sapphire Blue
I know I posted this photo of Ruby the other day.. Thank you for your comments about it.. It's always fun to get one special picture from an event! I am so thankful for this blog for many reasons. But, mostly because it gives me the opportunity to document special days, special words, and special moments with our family and friends... This picture is special to me because Ruby was very hesitant about her first swim meet... But, I think this smile says it all... With some sisterly encouragement from Sienna, and her supportive team she jumped in that pool with a little more confidence than she had on the bus ride over!! All we ever ask from our kids is that they do their best.... And, she did!
I processed this photo with Florabella's Sapphire action. It is the exact same action I used on one of my favorite pool photos of Emme Jade from China last summer!! It's my favorite action for turquoise!! In some ways the emotions of these two little girls was the same... A little hesitant at first, and then all smiles!
August, 2011
Photography continues to be a passion and a journey for me... It started when we were preparing to bring Ruby home in 2007... Thanks to some gifted friends, and amazing teachers like Lisa I continue learn and to push myself... And, thanks to my supportive husband and kids I get to practice a lot!!!! I will always be a work in progress (in many ways)... But, hopefully along the way I will continue to get a few favorite photos as I build a book of memories for my kids!!
This photo of Ruby Mei was taken with my Nikon D700.
Exposure ~ 1/1000
