keeping it on the down low

in you capture

This week’s You Capture was all about getting down low … so I took it literally and shot from the ground.

Emma splashing at the end of a super fun water slide …

and our current “middle child” snoozing in the shade.

Okay, so that last one wasn’t really shot from a down low perspective, but I was squatting. And squatting while almost 6 months pregnant is kind of a big deal.

So how low can you go?

New follower! I can be honest, I envy your photographic talent. That is ok though because your shots are divine. I especially love your sprinkler shot. What a splendid capture.

I love all your photos – especially the water oriented ones. The water slide picture is whimsical and artistic and the flying water from the sprinkler is so dramatic and beautiful.
