Don’t get me wrong, I am SO SO happy my kid is in school and thriving.  This full 5 day week has given me a lot of time to work on the business (and even lunch with friends) while she is gone.  However, the downside is personal documentation is suffering.

She is waking up super early ready to head to school.  I have been taking advantage of this to do some daily shooting for The Art of Telling Stories, but at 7am there isn’t much natural light in my house.  Like none.  I am regularly shooting at ISO 8000-12800 just to get the job done.  The noise isn’t terrible and it certainly is challenging to be creative.  I have leaned more on the “available” light on some mornings.  Last week I tried to do a 90 seconds with Chloe and well life got in the way.  With a loose front tooth I really wanted one before she has that adorable (but different) toothless grin.

So here is 90 seconds with flash.  I am hoping she will give me another shot this afternoon with some natural light, but if she doesn’t I got this one and I can live with the flash.

Updated: 90 second challenge from afterschool. She is certainly Smart and Strong!
