Through the eyes of my Scouty B.

Scouty got a camera for her birthday. That was in April. This whole time we've never uploaded her pictures to the computer. Honestly, a lot of them are snapshots of her feet or the television. In fact, the day after her birthday, she sat in the armchair in our living room and took exactly 84 pictures of the television. As you're about to see, though, that's not all there is to her photographic persuasions.

We finally took a look at her photos today, and honestly... they're wonderful. It is totally delightful to get a chance to see the world from her little vantage point. We thought that you might like to see a day in the life of my brilliant 4 year old super girl, too.

Here we go...

































So, there she is. My big girl and the way she sees the world. Precious.

  1. The back seat pictures kill me!! Maya got a camera for Christmas and I just recently uploaded the pictures. I need to go through them! It's amazing what they capture. :)

  2. Way to go Scouty !!! You got some really great shots !! The self portraits and the back seat series are priceless. What really is impressive is how she framed the shots. I know adults who can't center the subject as well as Scouty B. Keep shooting Scouty, some day your photos will be gracing a magazine cover in a newstands.

  3. I love this post! I love the pictures she took. I can't wait to buy a camera for my boys to use. Charlie already will use my point and shoot. He talks a billion pictures of one thing but he also gets some great abstract shots. :)

  8. When my first was little (like 2), we got our first digital camera. It drove my husband crazy (he thought she would break it but she drops less stuff than I do).

    She took a series of photos of her toys. It was wild to look at them from her perspective, and to see things as her mind's eye perceives them.

    What's even more cool is that each child takes photos that are quite different than the last kid. My son takes people people people. It drives his sisters crazy.

    Great shots, Scouty!

  9. Cindy, me too! I thought they would just be boring little kid pictures, but I was totally drawn in by getting to see the world through my girl's eyes.

  10. Karen, that's so cute. It's even interesting just to see how things look from down there, being so short. I love it.
