Rare Moments Getting Less Rare!

Posted in Family, Family

It used to be rare that my kids could play for any length of time together without trying to kill one another! Those moments are happening more often though! They can actually stand being in the same room with each other, they are sharing more and laughing more and (now I am going to say this real quietly as to not jinx it) I think they might actually like each other! I know I just heard the gasps!

That’s not to say they don’t still fight but the periods in between are getting longer and longer! It helps that it’s starting to get warmer out and I can send them outside for some fresh air more often.

Songs Of Life Blog Circle – “Here Comes The Sun”

Posted in Photography, Songs Of Life Blog Circle

I am a part of a small group of women who are not only passionate about photography but specifically would like to delve deeper into the art of lifestyle photography. While striving to develop our skills we thought it would be fun to start a blog circle sharing our progress with the world

First let me tell you a little about lifestyle photography. Lifestyle photography can be defined as a style of portrait/people photography which aims to capture and document real-life events, situations, or milestones in an artistic manner. It strays from the staged photo shoot and leans more towards a fly on the wall approach.

Now moving on to how this blog circle works. This is the Songs Of Life Blog Circle. What is that you might ask? Well, it’s where we take a song and use it as inspiration for our lifestyle photos. We can use the title, the lyrics (a line or the whole thing), or just the feeling or message we get from the song.

This weeks pick is Here Comes The Sun by The Beatles. The title reminded me of the day starting new, so I decided to do our waking up and morning routine for my photos.

Now click here and see the next awesome interpretation of “Here Comes The Sun”.

Project Inspired – Round

Posted in Photography, Project Inspired - Blog Circle

Welcome to another installment of the Project Inspired Blog Circle! In order to save sanity it looks like we have taken to posting these every other week. This week’s theme is round! There were so many things that I wanted to do for this post but I only got to do one of them – bubbles! It helps that Em has also taken a renewed liking to her old stacking rings from when she was a baby, she has carried those around with her everywhere for a week straight.
