It’s time for another Bloggography photo challenge! Last week, we talked about Exposure Compensation. This is one of those areas where I could really stand to improve, so this lesson was as much for me as it was for you. Before we get on with this week’s challenge, I have a favorite to share from…
Focusing on Angles
I love using creative angles to capture portraits. Off-center, tilted, and from different perspectives. Particularly, I think kids look adorable when looking up at the camera. Here’s a photo I caught a little while ago of a precious little girl who did not want to sit still. Standing above her caught her attention just enough…
Allergies. And Other Signs of Spring.
I love the Spring. I would never complain about this glorious season. Not me! Haven’t I spent the last week singing it’s praises? As much as I love this time of year, there are just a few things that make Spring time a little less-than-perfect. 1 – Allergies. I sneeze. My nose runs. My eyes…
Energy-Saving Halogen Light Bulbs from Sylvania
I like to think of myself as a relatively eco-friendly person. I recycle every bit of paper that comes through my house, re-use water bottles, take out three bins-worth of recyclables each week, turn off lights when not in use, etc. I’ve been practicing these simple earth-friendly habits since I was a teen living in…
Prom Pictures
I was asked to be the unofficial/official photographer for this weekend’s Church Prom. The Prom dresses were gorgeous (there was such a great variety of modest prom dresses! I was impressed), and the kids were energetic, positive, and lots of fun. Many of my young friends have asked to see a sample of the pictures…
Nature Sense Walk
I’m breaking from March’s Fishful Thinking Resilience theme because I felt compelled to go on a Nature Sense Walk with AJ this week. We’re spending more time outside, the kids are stretching those Winter-tired muscles, and I am enjoying letting some fresh air into the house. Earlier this week, as AJ and I were walking…
Mom’s Life-Line: Playdates and Babysitting Co-ops
I needed a life-line. I was sinking. When my third child was born in 2001, I went into a state of mommy shock. Suddenly, everything was harder. I never got sleep (compared to ALL the sleep I was getting as a mom of 2 under 3, of course). I had no social life because getting…
SOOC – Give Me Your Best Shot PSF
SOOC= Straight Out Of Camera This week, I caught a shot that I fell in love with immediately. And after wards I did something that I rarely ever do. I didn’t do ANYTHING. No editing. No cropping. No color or exposure adjustment. What you see is what you get. And I love it. Yes, I’m…
Pictures Worth a Thousand Words
AJ was sound asleep this afternoon when the kids came home from school. I wasn’t about to wake him from his nap just to spend some time outside. Just like kids seem to have radar-hearing in my house when a movie starts playing in the basement, AJ in his deep sleep must have heard the…
Handy Manny Big Race
Handy Manny is one of AJ’s favorite shows. We’ve got a few episodes on my iPod and he watches them over and over again when we’re waiting in line at a store or in the waiting room of the doctor’s office. I know how to keep my boy happy. The fact is, when AJ is…
