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…
A Child’s Letter to Mom
This afternoon, the kids and I worked our way to the park across the street after school was over. It was just too nice outside to do homework inside today. Reese looked so adorable doing her homework on the park table that I sat across from her snapping pictures for a while before sneaking a…
