52 Week Challenge – Week 7 Ruffles

Unfortunately, all three of my kids have had a lovely case of the stomach flu last week so I was not able to participate in week 6′s challenge (I am hoping to make it up at some point).  Thankfully it seems that everyone is finally over the nasty bug.  :)

This week’s theme is “ruffles”.  I wasn’t quite sure what to do for this one.  I have to say my creative juices just weren’t flowing…ultimately I wound up with my girl in one of her favorite ruffled tops (this top has made numerous appearances on the blog).

Now head on over to Erath County, Texas  fabulous Photographer, Traca Miller’s site to check out her ruffles post!

52 Week Challenge – Week 4 Pink

This weeks theme of “pink” was my excuse to get myself some pretty pink tulips.  ;)   They definitely have me longing for spring!  Since we are so close to Valentine’s Day I figured I would snap one of some candy hearts my kiddos left out.  Not terribly exciting but there is pink!

Now go check out Portland, Oregon photographer Marla Misclevitz’s take on pink!  :

52 Week Challenge – Week 3 Emotion

Unfortunately I could not get my act together to shoot new images this week for my 52 Week Challenge – Emotion but thought I would share this one as an alternative.  The “emotions” in this photo make me smile.  Here we have one kiddo who seems sweet and innocent, one who looks a little crazy with laughter (because she thought it was funny to drive her little brother CRAZY) and the little guy who is terribly upset (because of his big sister).  This is pretty typical in my house… There is always one innocent party, one guilty and one overly emotional! :)

*F.Y.I.  all Izzy did to set her little brother off was call him a “cutie pie”.  Apparently he did not appreciate the compliment.  ;)

Be sure to head on over to  the fabulous Michaelle Janet - Houston/Cypress, Texas Photographer’s site to check out her “Emotion” post!

52 Week Challenge – Week 3 Bokeh

Bokeh

Taken from Wikipedia:
In photography, bokeh, boh-kay and also heard as BOH-ka is the blur or the aesthetic quality of the blur, in out-of-focus areas of an image, or “the way the lens renders the out-of-focus points of light”.
Here is my version of Bokeh… is it highly original?  Not so much…does it represent “bokeh”??? I think/hope so.  :)
Now head on over to the fabulous Elizabeth McDonough at www.elizabethmcdonoughphotography/blog/ to check out her interpretation of this week’s challenge!

52 Week Challenge – Week One – Morning

Here is to a new year and new resolutions….I am going to give the 52 Week Challenge another try.  I only lasted a few weeks last year but this year I am determined to see it through.  I am with a wonderful group of photographers that will hopefully keep me accountable.  ;)   Our first theme is “Morning”.

First thing EVERY morning my 4 year old asks to play my iPad so here he is early in the morning, crazy bed head and all!

Please check out the blog of Heather Bowser to see her interpretation of the “Morning Challenge”:  http://www.alloursphotography.blogspot.com/

More Of My Muse…

I had high hopes of getting Izzy outside for a photo session but it’s just been too cold.  Our friend Lisa at Castlegate created this fabulous hat and I had some specific ideas of how I wanted Izzy to model it but the weather changed our plans.  So…we tried our best to make the indoors work for us.  I have to say that this first image is my favorite from this session.  :)

Be sure to stop by Castlegates etsy shop!  She makes the most wonderful hats!!!

My Muse…

Just one photo for today, (more from this session with my girl tomorrow).  The theme for MCP Project 52 this week is “muse”.  Well this girl of mine is definitely my muse, much to her chagrin!  :)   Hope you are enjoying your day!
