Mia in Motion

I just purchased a new Digital SLR, a Cannon Rebel XSi.  I shopped for it for a couple of months, and gathered information so I could compare all sorts of SLRs--it sort of felt like information overload.  My tastes run expensive, but I ended up picking this inexpensive camera.  I am a beginner, after all.

Anyway, I carry the freaking thing everywhere I go, now, thinking that I don't want to miss a shot since I own a good camera.  But I am still re-learning photography, which means several hundred lackluster photos come for every decent one.  Here are three of my favorites from this past weekend; we were in Houston to visit sweet Kelly.

This is Mia in Motion.  It is blurred because I didn't have the shutter speed set right, 

but it looks like joy to me.

I Love the genuine smile on Stacy's face in this shot.

Mia had cotton candy all over herself! I like her fingers a bit out of focus in the foreground.

Mia was excited to finally see Kelly! I especially like Mia's face in this shot.
