Two years old: what a wonderful age.

So many smiles, such fun!  I was lucky enough to have my camera and a Canon flash (580EX) with me to capture Ella’s 2-year old party.  Kids are so expressive – especially in medium-sized groups.  I noticed kids who alone were camera shy, warming up in the larger group.  This teaches me that taking kids to a playground for a photo session may be the best way to get them to act naturally and warm up to the camera.

Here are a few shots from the party.  Click on any image to enlarge.  Thanks for letting me be two again!

Note: Flip birthday girl BEFORE birthday cake

Setup: 5D, 580 EX flash (held in hand – bounced off walls), Cowboy Studio wireless trigger.
