the adventures of jade..." "Jade - Playing Dress Up As A Fancy Lady..."

My granddaughter Jade is the MOST wonderful gift I've ever been given.

I must have done something right in my life to be this blessed.

Please share your thoughts...

She has gotten so grown up so fast, Deb. This is a very pretty portrait of a young girl out being a girl. You have captured a moment that will bring you and the rest of her family joy for many years.

She IS a fancy lady! But, alas, underexposed?! Maybe not, I wish I could see it larger and to give a reliable judgment!

Cheers Deb!

A lovely shot, Deb!

Thanks for your comments.  Yes, she has grown so much this year.  She will be five next month.  She makes my heart smile!

I always have dress up clothes and accessories for her at my house that I find at garage sales or resale shops.  She wanted to be a fancy lady so she put all this together and wanted to walk her "puppy" outside on the sidewalk.  It was all quick and candid moments so the setting may not be perfect, but that moment sure was!

Thanks for your comments.  Yes, you are correct with your observation as it was indeed an underexposed shot  The moment unfolded so quickly all I could do was shoot and hope for the best.  I love candid moments like this so much but I don't always have time to adjust my settings.  She makes my heart smile and I wish the camera could use the light that comes from that smile as I feel it lighting up all around me. :)

Thank you so very much for your lovely comment.

Very nice, tender moment shot! a bit dark but with a little contrast or level adjustment and a bit of sharpening it would be even better, I think. TFS!

What a perfect shot, Deb!  I wish that I could do portrait work like you do.
