Default You know you're in trouble when your four year old is a better photographer than you!

One from the evening we got together with Vinnie (a.k.a. auto-focus) and his talented wife Cathy. I didn't get to take any photos, but after Cathy and Vinnie were done shooting, Victoria got ahold of my camera and directed them to pose for her. This is her best result. Not bad for a 4 year old shooting with studio lighting for the first time!

I don't have a watermark handy for her so I put mine on for the time being. Well, I did the post processing, so at least I get that much credit.

As always, thank you for looking!

ETA: I just looked at the EXIF - she actually didn't use the AB for this one. I had my speedlight on-camera and she bounced it.

Nice job! I am so terrible at portrait photography maybe Victoria could give me a few pointers? It looks like she is going to follow right in your footsteps. TFS.

I think you need to prop your feet up and let the kids support you. It's the least they can do seeing as how you brought them into the world......right?

LOL Mike! I showed this to my husband and he was dumbfounded. I think I figured out her technique, though...being 4, she doesn't overanalyze it...she just goes with the feel of it. Apparently it works!
