About taking pictures of Huirou

It is never easy to capture images of Huirou. She doesn't automatically smile for the camera. It takes a lot of effort (waving/ jumping around/ making funny noises) and the right timing for a good picture. For this I am thankful for digitals, coz it's free to take take take then delete delete delete.

Sometimes she lunges for the camera thinking that it is a toy, making for many pictures of her with her finger in the way. But then again sometimes because of this we get really really good close-ups of her in play.

Most precious to me of all is in her expressions when she's just being herself. I sometimes keep even the "bad" photos just because there's a little bit of her personality showing through.
