I am surprised at how well they turned out considering I took these in a hurry at a baby shower I attended recently. I did not use a flash and tripod – it was all under florescent lighting – one of the worst kind of lighting to use. The items (party favors) were no bigger than 1-3/4 inches (according to the description on Amazon). I actually rested the lens on the kitchen island to stabilize the camera. I have always been a sucker for rubber duckies and these were just too cute.
My youngest niece and goddaughter is having a second baby, a boy. In fact, he entered the world on February 3rd. I can hardly wait to see the newest little one.
In the meantime, here are some random pictures taken at a baby shower that took place on January 18, 2014. The older kids did not stick around the adults much; so, I do not have any pictures of them. Keep in mind that these are not professional quality pictures; but, candid snapshots. Enjoy!
These two seem to be having a serious somber conversation.
She was SO ready to have this baby!
The below pictures were taken by Dan when the party moved outside. It was mid afternoon and the light (sun) was harsh. These are awesome and I still have a lot to learn because none of the ones I took outside were even good. By the way, these were the only pictures Dan took as he did not take any indoors.
Note: I love this (above) one. I do not know exactly why; but, I do.
I finally got my hands on the pictures taken at my youngest niece's shower on July 24th, 2010. I need to get Dan (the photographer) to burn a CD of all the original pictures so that we can mail them to her. Here are a few pictures from the shower itself. Enjoy.

Before I go on, I must explain what the following three pictures are about. You see, there was a game that involved grabbing a partner. Each team was given a jar of baby food and a baby spoon. One person feeds baby food to his/her partner. Whoever finishes the jar first, wins a prize. The prize went to Mommy-to-be of course. It was total entertainment!
