Monthly Archives: January 2012 This time of year when life is a bit quieter…I like to actually give my kids a break (not a long break) from the camera and photograph a few random images….well here is a bit of random for you….thought they were fitting for this time of year. Have a wonderful weekend!
 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!
  Well today is my 43rd birthday and I have to say it’s been pretty great! One of my New Year’s resolutions this year (o.k. every year) is really trying to capture moments and not just set up shots of my kiddos. I get so frustrated with myself that I feel this need that every photo has to look great (clothes, hair, etc..) and in the meantime I am missing out on capturing real moments of my kids. I am not one to drag my main camera around with me everywhere so my wonderful husband took it upon himself to get me a fabulous point & shoot for my birthday! I am so excited to use it! You may now start seeing some less than fabulous photos on my blog shot with my new camera but I am hoping to capture the little, everyday moments with my kiddos. A few fun birthday gifts… 1. wine for this evening…yay! 2. new lip gloss…thank you “J”!!! LOVE this gift!!! 3. cake pops from my 4 year old (which of course I purchased)
 When it’s cold outside and business doesn’t pick up until spring what is a girl to do???? Craft projects of course!! I have been busy making cute Valentine’s Day hats (pattern can be found at the fabulous Snazziedrawers), knitting up hats and scarves galore, trying to learn how to sew (hoping to share some finished projects soon) and painting little wooden people for my kiddos the first set is supposed to be me and my hubs (per my daughters request) and the second set is supposed to be the Harry Potter trio, they are a bit sloppy…. I do not claim to be even remotely good at any of these crafts (especially the painting of wooden people) but I am having lots of fun!! Enjoy your weekend!
 What can I say??? I ADORE photographing this gorgeous little lady! Not only is she beautiful but she is as sweet as can be! Thanks Miss P for a fun afternoon!
 I had great aspirations for this weeks challenge which is “eyes”….unfortunately, uncooperative kiddos (mine of course) and not so great weather left me scurrying to get a shot today…. this is definitely not a favorite photo of my girl but I do still love her brown with (flecks of gold) eyes….she has always been an old soul to me and I think her eyes reflect that… Be sure to check out the fabulous Traca Miller for her take on the 52 Week Challenge!
 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. 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!
