Sophie365 Day 7

Today no therapists came, so Miss Sarah (big sister) worked with Sophie. Sarah has watched the pros do it for so long that she does a great job when stepping in.

Sophie365 Day 6

Sophie really enjoys her bath time. This photo was taken right after her massage and before brushing and joint compressions. She laughs throughout this time.

Sophie365 Day 5

She did a good job on the walker today. There were some nice steps that she did on her own. Here, she was walking right towards the camera.

I was not happy with the harsh lighting on this shot, but am happy that there is no flash reflection on the glasses.

Sophie365 Day 4

I really like the expression on her case here. I sat her on the couch, but of course by the time I picked up the camera, she scooted down. She is a tough one all right! Notice the high ISO on this? I forgot to check the setting. No wonder some of my other shots were overexposed.

Sophie365 Day 1

In order to get myself back on track in photography, I am going to attempt to start a 365 day project of our little girl Sophie. She is a very tough subject due to her disabilities and will therefore teach me patience and let me work on my composition.

Day 1 is of her using the walker. She has come a long was with this in the last year. When she started, she screamed a lot and could only manage a couple of steps with help from us or her therapists. Now she can work up to 50 steps on her own with mostly no crying.

I did use the on camera flash to try and freeze her because of her movement disorder.
