This week’s topic is perspective and your challenge is to try and shoot from a different perspective than you might normally photograph from. Just something to get our minds off all the craziness in the world this week!

It’s so hard to believe that in one month my baby girl will be four years old. Time goes so fast!

My favorite photo for October is Day 300: Lynx Lake.

Though this is her 4th(!) Halloween, this was the first year that LG was really interested in the going door to door trick or treating. The past three years, we’ve just taken her to Grandma’s and to few friend’s houses. I wasn’t sure that she wouldn’t be overcome with shyness, but she did a great job! We drilled her on the script all day: “Trick or treat! Thank you! Happy Halloween!” and though she was easily lured off script by chatty candy givers, she had a great time. We started at a friend’s house in our neighborhood and did the horseshoe street that she lives on and that was about enough for her. She was ready for Dad to take her candy bucket and carry it near the end. It was surprisingly heavy considering she carried it a long way by herself! She was a cute little dinosaur!

(And yes, the temps were in the 90s during the day, so shorts were appropriate!)

We did our yearly Halloween photo shoot today. LG wanted to be a “happy dinosaur” and as you can see, she is! The best part is that she really “gets” the whole concept of Halloween this year. :)
