I still remember taking all of these photos over the space of a few minutes and pissing myself laughing at the outcome. The Monkey was only a couple of months old at the time, and had just started to give us a few brief smiles. I was determined to capture one of them on film - and this was all I got!! Some of her expressions were priceless, I have no idea what was going through her head but either way she wasn't pleased about it I don't think. If that's her reaction to the camera we may have to cross 'Supermodel' of her list of intended occupations ;)
I love these shots though because they capture so clearly what she was like as a little baby - so very serious! Her expressions weren't usually this animated but she always looked like she was thinking about something, and taking everything in around her. Fortunately the Monkey found her sense of humour and sense of fun big time at around eight months, and now she is constant smiles and giggles.
I guess it just took her a few months to reserve her judgement on us all.
Anyway, onto the page. This is a really different one for me, I usually steer away from bold colours but I think they suited the theme well. I used layered overlays to get the colours rather than recolouring the photos, and I think this technique worked much better.
