Kayla: SOCCER?!?! Oh my gosh, I LOVE soccer! MOM, can I go play soccer? CAN I? CAN I?
Mom: Are you sure? You said the same thing about ballet. We signed you up, and you cried for 4 straight classes and eventually we dropped out.
Kayla: No, I love soccer. I'm going to play. Soccer is like my FAVORITE!!! I love soccer!!
Mom: There's a soccer clinic coming up. Maybe you can go try it and see if you like it.
Kayla: OK! I want to go, I want to go!
Kayla: I'm gonna kick the ball like this! Let me show you! (she does this thing where she sucks in her cheeks before kicking and kicks with all her might)

Fast forward to soccer clinic. My wife sends me this picture and texts me "she's totally NOT participating." LOL. She sat there during the whole clinic and didn't want anything to do with soccer.
After coming home, she goes "............can we play soccer?" My wife was not amused.
Kristin is the polar opposite. She's willing to try anything once.
Haha, this was such a cute story. Sounds like me when I was younger. :)
ReplyDeletehaha. they are so adorable! i love the picture story too. Your a great photographer!

ReplyDeletei love the last image of Kristin and the racket. The depth is there.
What amazingly lovely shots!
ReplyDeletelove it! your daughters are so adorable. love that you've been blogging more freuently. i also love the lens you used in these, which one was it? seems wider than a 20mm?
ReplyDeleteHi Lynda, it was a 14-24mm lens : )
ReplyDeleteThe same thing happened to me when my dad enrolled me to piano classes XD
ReplyDeleteLove. it.
ReplyDeleteThe girls are too cute!
I love your story telling and photography that makes me not only want to go hug my little one but makes me miss the west coast so badly!
Kayla is so cute! She reminds me of myself when I was her age. LOL Did your wife use a camera phone for Kayla's picture? The quality is great. :)
ReplyDeleteYour girls have grown so much. I was just reading your older posts from when Kayla was a baby and Kristin was so little. It's amazing how you've documented your time with them. :)
Hahahaa oooh no.... :D
ReplyDeleteWonderful pictures! as usual with you! :))
ReplyDeleteBravo to Selena for her perfect contribution :)
Love Kayla's face when she shoots the ball! :D
I love these photos- especially the one where she is kicking the ball- hilarious!
ReplyDeleteaww. perhaps she is shy?
ReplyDeleteI know I was like that as a kid...just needs that extra push to get involved.
Do you use a neutral density filter to get your blue skies and what is your light source modifier? Soft box?
ReplyDeleteSusanna,
ReplyDeleteNo ND filters for this set. First 3 images are with a 47" octa. Last 2 are bare bulb.
I just love the flare on those photos.
