Alas, my daughters are not BFFs. Not yet anyway :) Between Charlotte's rambunctiousness and Molly's new defense mechanism (chomp chomp)
Earlier this week, Charlotte had a stomach bug and spent the morning on the couch. Molly, both sensing the calm and wanting a cracker, crawled up to join her. The simple act of sitting side by side, watching Strawberry Shortcake and sharing a sleeve of saltines may seem unremarkable to most, but this brief moment of peace/love/friendship between my children was enough to melt my heart. And, of course, a little piece of their furry friend appears in each photo: where there's food, there's Reilly.
On the technical side of things, I continue to struggle with my focal points when there's more than one subject. If I tried locking in on one kiddo, the other was a bit soft (above); focusing between them grabbed the saltine (below).
I'll have to continue experimenting with my aperture and probably need "stop down" a bit more, which can be a challenge in low light settings (it's been a gloomy week). Hoping I can get more practice with them in the same frame --in sickness and in health??
those are such sweet photos! hopefully, their love relationship will continue to slowly grow.
