Red Nikon Camera resting on a table

With schools shutdown here in Toronto, I get to spend the majority of my day with my two daughters in tow. Throughout the day I find myself reaching for my phone to take candid photos of them playing around the house. Today I handed the phone to Isabella so she could review the pictures and somehow she ended up changing the settings on my android phone.

A different perspective of our trip to Grenada – snapshots from Isabella and Julie – 964 days to go

This is just a quick post. In our tips and tricks section we mentioned that we gave our daughters an old digital camera. It is fun to watch them walking around with the camera dangling mere inches from the ground or ocean. Each night when the kids are asleep we quickly scroll through and see what they took pictures of that day. Most bring a smile to our faces.

  • Isabella getting her wildlife shot ready
  • The end result is better than any her dad got
  • Julie takes 5 pics a day of her feet
  • Julie also likes taking pictures of her luggage
  • A good photo to ground parents. This was the view from Isabella’s car seat.
    No she can’t see the cows or the goats on the side of the road.
  • Isabella loves wildlife. She stayed still for 2 minutes for the crab to emerge.
  • Julie loves putting her fingers over the lens and taking pictures of napkins. It took us a while to figure out what this one was.

Don’t get me wrong, more than half of the photos are blurred shots of tables and hands but sometimes you get a gem. Plus, the excitement they get when they want to show you a picture of something only they have seen is memorable.
