Two Christmases ago Isabelle received a Lego digital camera as one of her many Santa gifts. She tested it out a bit over the holidays and like many other kid's gifts across the country, it found its way into one of her toy bins, very seldom put into action and eventually forgotten. Several months later, she discovered the camera and has rekindled (kindled?) her interest in photography.
Luckily, the tulip festival, although winding down, still had one last weekend for professional and amateur photographers to get some last minute shots of the beautiful colours on display. Isabelle was no exception. She visited last week with Nanny Caitlin and some children from Caitlin's Mom's daycare, sharing a picnic in the park amongst the flowers. She brought her camera long and truly enjoyed the attention all the kids gave to her snapshots, gathering around the camera after each one.
She returned on the weekend with her Dad to get some final pictures before the festival shut down for the year. Not surprisingly, her Dad also brought along his camera to get some shots of his own. Isabelle the shutterbug continued to attract attention, as adults and kids alike admired her camera and the fact that this 4-year old was not only interested in the flowers but was snapping shots of them along the way.
She may be 4 but she officially has a hobby. She is now constantly asking to get her camera charged so she can continue building her skills on every trip out. Soon the blog may feature some of her own work!
From photographer to model in one fell swoop!
