Sunday Snapshot: {these two}

It was just a regular moment.

On a regular day.



Poppy asked me to put her hair in pig tails.

And I obliged.



Tallula heard all the commotion and had to get into the fray.

Of course.



And silliness and giggles ensued.



Just an ordinary moment. In an ordinary day.

Made not-so-ordinary.

Compliments of these two.


These were taken with my Nikon D90 and a 50mm 1.4 lens. Settings for the first one were ISO 1000, f/2.0, 1/500. Edited in Lightroom with the One Willow Brush Set.


If you’re ready to play along, here’s a quick overview of Sunday Snapshot.

1. Snapshot posts should have the photo to be considered AT THE TOP of the Sunday Snapshot post, and should include the Sunday Snapshot button as well as a link back here to encourage others to play along.
2. Share any photography tips and/or settings on your posts for others (like me!) who are learning – this is encouraged but certainly not required.
3. I’ll review each Snapshot entry and then select a favorite to be announced on Wednesday.
4. The winning Snapshot will be selected based on composition, color, emotion, creativity and post-processing.
5. Weekly winners will be featured in a monthly Sunday Snapshot post which will be judged by y’all, the readers.
6. The winner of the monthly Sunday Snapshot will receive a photography related goodie donated by the Sunday Snapshot monthly sponsor. June’s Snapshot sponsor is The Long Road to China.
7. Rules subject to change, as necessary, to keep this fun and fruitful for everyone.

    I think that it’s the ordinary moments that are the MOST special ones…it’s real life.
    They are more than precious, if that’s possible!!!

    hugs,
