Bindi Irwin’s daughter, Grace, has mastered some impressive photography skills at just 4 years old.
The 26-year-old conservationist, who shares Grace with husband Chandler Powell, proudly showed off their daughter’s budding talents in an Instagram post July 5. Bindi Irwin uploaded an adorable photo of her and Powell smiling as they snuggled up next to each other on a patio swing.
She revealed in the caption that their 4-year-old had captured the snap.
“This is the first photo Grace has ever taken of us,” Bindi Irwin wrote beside the picture. “She asked me if she could take a photo on my phone, looked at it, and said, ‘cuuute.’”
She added, “Everything about these few minutes in time makes my heart happy. It’s the little moments that really mean the most.”
The television personality’s mom, Terri Irwin, noticed that Grace made a slight appearance in the family picture.
“I like the shadow of her tiny finger in the bottom left of the photo. So sweet!” Terri Irwin gushed.
Bindi Irwin and Powell, who have been married since March 2020, welcomed their daughter a year after their nuptials on March 25, 2021.
Earlier this year, Bindi Irwin opened up about motherhood and raising her daughter inside the Australian Zoo, which the Irwins own, in an interview with TODAY.com.
Bindi Irwin said Grace helps her and Powell care for the tame animals in the zoo, similar to how her dad, the late Steve Irwin, introduced her and brother Robert Irwin to different types of wildlife during their childhoods.
“I understand how wildlife behaves and … I don’t ever have Grace in a situation or meeting an animal that she’s not ready for,” Bindi Irwin said. “Her world pretty much revolves around koalas, tortoises, giraffes and red pandas … which I know she’s totally good with.”
As for the more dangerous animals, Grace will have to wait before she can interact with them.
“When she is 18, and if she wants to help us feed the crocodiles, that’s great — but not now and not anytime soon,” the zookeeper shared.
In between taking care of the animals, Bindi Irwin recently penned a children’s picture book called “You Are a Wildlife Warrior!” that she dedicated to her parents and Grace. The 4-year-old’s middle name is Warrior, as well.
Speaking about the importance of the book for her daughter and other children, Bindi Irwin explained, “For kids, it’s so important to build that empathy which is innately within all of us. Like anything, it’s a practiced trait.”
She then praised Grace, adding, “Grace is tiny but she wears her heart on her sleeve and she is mighty. Her feelings and emotions are very, very big and I love that so much about her.”
