I took this photo one morning at my home when this little girl (my rescue kitten) had paused her playing with her favorite toy. She was perched perfectly on a soft pillow, which had a lot to do with the restful pose! The morning light caught her just right and the innocence on her face was captivating.Time
I love the way the light from the early morning sunrise highlighted this sweet face!Lighting
The morning light is magical. Take advantage of it!Equipment
I took this photo with my Canon Rebel t2. It was a simple, quick, handheld snap to capture the moment before she got back to playing!Inspiration
Could you resist this sweet face? Neither could I. I was thrilled to capture it and humbled that others love the photo too. I honestly put no thought into planning the photo...simply capturing the moment.Editing

I usually use my old Canon Rebel T2 camera for everything. I have considered upgrading to a newer camera, but I really love this older model. I have several lenses, but my favorite is a Canon EF 50mm f/1.8 STM Lens. It is my "go to" lens. I also love to use my husband's point and shoot camera! I bought him his own camera for his birthday last year and it has become my second favorite! I purchased him a Canon Powershot SX70 20.3MP Digital Camera with a 65x Optical Zoom Lens. This camera can do everything! This point and shoot is an awesome camera with a wonderful zoom lens. He loves the wonderful zoom and I love it too!Feedback
My best advice is to capture every moment that touches your heart. Even if the capture doesn't win awards, you'll freeze that moment in time that has meaning to you! Also, chase the light! That elusive morning light makes everything magical!
