Monday means it’s time to link up with ‘The 52 Project’ (Practising Simplicity) and the Living Arrows (I Heart Snapping). The aim is to take a picture that captures the beauty and magic of childhood in our eyes. I am also linking up with Snowing Indoors Point & Shoot feature.

This week I have taken quite a few photos and so I have lots to choose from. Baby is such a happy baby, so most pictures show her beaming smile. I obviously love these pictures, but I wanted to show how beautiful she is even when she is not smiling.

I love her hat, she looks all grown up wearing it. Thanks for joining in with Point + Shoot xx

Thanks hun, it’s lush isn’t it. xx
I’d like that hat for when I am gardening – so pretty and practical. Found you via Point and Shoot.

Thanks, it is my favourite and she seems to keep this one on more than the others x
Baby is so yummy! You’re right, she’s stunning when she’s just looking straight at you or concentrating – you can almost see her little brain taking it all in! I can’t believe she’s happily just sat in her hat though…you don’t see much of that round these parts 😉 xxx

Thanks lots hun. She’s my little beauty. She does have her anti hat moments, but over the weekend, we have just been very persistent and she eems to have sucked it up xxx
I love your li’l one’s hat..awww! 🙂 I think with photography, the only way is taking a zillion pics and you’ll just see the whole concept unravel with experience of what works for you. Childhood is so fleeting, I wish I had taken a thousand more pics…it was just yesterday that my 7 year old looked as tiny as yours 🙂 . Lovely post, Abby! x

Thank you so much, I really appreciate your comment. I take so many photos, but then you get something that just works and you love it x
Oh love the hat one. So sweet. It is lovely to catch them smiling, but nice to see them looking elsewhere and just normal sometimes- it’s less posed.
