I took dozens of photos of Zara in her new winter hat and scarf by the Christmas tree the other day. I discovered that the best light in my house is by my picture window in the living room. However, my sofa is facing away from the window. On this day I had Zara strapped in her high chair (a booster seat strapped to one of my dining room chairs) and placed her by the window with the tree in the background. So I got some catchlights in her eyes and the bokeh of the Christmas lights. I used my 50 mm 1.8 so I didn't need to use a tripod. It was around 3:30 in the afternoon so the sun was setting. (Yup we get an early sunset in the Pacific Northwest!) My favorite time of day.

Bokeh! Never knew what that was until a little while ago, when Chris started putting it in our game.
She's so beautiful! My tree is in a terrible spot and I get no natural light for photos. :(
