picture this

Posted by: blissfule In: Perth ()

I pulled out our camera and started to walk across the room.

"Are you going to take a picture of me, Mama?"

It was a great opportunity to capture genuine smiles.

Including classics like 'Blurry',

'Waaaay Too Close to the Camera', and

'From an Incredible Height'.

Yet despite my lack of skill, Nikki's gorgeous smile is undimmed.

I am reminded of how God uses me. My job is to focus on Him, and His glory will shine through even the most testing times.

Grandpa had to comment that the incredible heights has to be answered by “Mama, you’re sooooooooooo tall!”
Wonderful pictures.

Hmmmm, you forgot “Let me put my finger on the lens just as you’re shooting” and “Here’s the perfect smile – and me running away just as you take the shot” …or is that just my boys? :) Very cute pictures. Nikki looks so adorable in her sundress. I just want to squeeze her! I’m glad I get to be a good auntie over Skype, but I need some real hugs.

I liked Erin’s comment: “Here’s the perfect smile – and me running away just as you take the shot”. I know that picture! Great photos of Nikki. Will you post similar ones of the other kids?
