9|52 Oh, The Drama

March 3, 2010

This week’s image is a little proof that our daughter is quite the drama queen. She’s not the easiest baby, or the most laid back, by ANY means. Good thing she’s too cute for words. ;-)

We were outside yesterday enjoying the warm-ish temps (I think it was in the 40s–so TOTALLY going outside weather!), and Lila realized that she didn’t know what a lot of things were out there. She’s starting to remember what things are, and be interested in exploring and learning, so now–everything scares her. Twigs, pine needles, wood chips–you name it, she’ll cry if you ask her to hold it. It will just take some getting used to, I’m sure she’ll be running down the front walk in no time.

And just for further proof of her dramatic ways, no less than 30 seconds later, here is the next shot I snapped:12 month old Lila playing with a cell phone, taken by MA photographer Megan MooreTotally fine, and playing with my phone. She certainly knows my weaknesses!

8|52 Three Hundred and Sixty Four

February 27, 2010

This one. This little smiling, impish, playful one below? She turns one year old tomorrow. A YEAR. I just can’t believe we’re already here.

All day long, I’ve been saying to her, “last year at this time, I was…”. It’s been such an emotionally filled day. It’s so wild to think that at last year right now, we didn’t know who we were about to meet. Who was about to steal our hearts, and bring us incredible happiness. And now, it’s impossible to think of our lives without her.

Tomorrow we are having a party for her. To celebrate the past year, and to just enjoy this crazy little girl who changed our world. We’re also going to the NICU in the morning. To say thank you to the amazing people there, without who we may be telling a different story right now.

Happy Birthday, Peanut! Get ready for your first taste of cake tomorrow! If you’re anything like me, there’s no turning back. Your dad & I love, love, love you.

6|52 Generations

February 11, 2010

We were away last weekend, visiting family in VA.

Oh, yes, you read that right. We flew into the biggest storm the DC/VA/MD area HAS EVER SEEN.

We were staying in Northern VA with my husband’s mother & step-father, and they got 28″ of snow over the weekend. Over TWO FEET. We weren’t sure we would make it out in time for our flight home–I’m still not quite sure how we did it. They live up on a hill on a quiet country road, and it took 2 tractors, a lot of shoveling, and some finger crossing, but we made it to our flight home, with a whole 13 minutes to spare.

This week’s photo immediately jumped out at me when I took it. In this photo, Lila and her grandpa are listening to music on his phone. It was such a sweet thing to watch them together.

I also HAVE to post one additional image. I would have used this for the project, but it was technically taken last week, on Friday, when we first got to VA. This is Lila with her great-grandmother, and they’re playing peekaboo. I can’t get over how much I love this photo.

That’s about all for now! I have a couple of shoots coming up this week, I’m so excited. I took a bit of a break during and after the holidays, and can’t wait to start up again. So you will be seeing some new work shortly!

5|52 Better Late Than Never

February 9, 2010

I know, I didn’t post last week! It was a crazy week, and we were away for a few days with no internet (I know, can you imagine??). But I’m back now, and need to post last week’s image!

I didn’t shoot much last week, because I was busy preparing for our trip. So this is a quick shot I grabbed of my daughter while we were playing one day. Her head is definitely distorted from the lens (for you non-photogs, she was super close to the lens, so I zoomed way out to fit her in the frame–she’s not normally bobble-headed!), but I still love the way she’s looking at me.

I will have this week’s post up within the next day or two also, because I already have some great images to choose from, taken while we were away this weekend.

I’d say Happy Monday, but you may throw things at me. :) Instead, I’ll just keep this short, and post!

New project number one, for 2010. :)

I have decided to do a more personal project this year, as a new goal to get out and shoot for ME more. I wasn’t sure where I would keep track of this at first–flickr? Facebook? A personal blog? Or here, on my business blog? Ultimately, I decided this would be the perfect place for my new project, for a few reasons. First, and most obvious, it is a photography project, so the photography blog made the most sense. I also thought it would be fun to give all my readers (hi, Cait!) a little glimpse into my world–I know you’re all she’s thrilled.They won’t all be people pictures, I have no idea what each week’s photo will end up being until I see it. But I’m so excited to be embarking on this, I can’t wait to see what’s in store!

Oh, one more little bit about this project: I’m doing it in black & white (well, I’m 90% sure I am). I don’t do nearly enough of this type of work, and I LOVE it, so this is my attempt at getting comfortable with it, and perfecting my conversion methods. My pics may look a little different from week to week, as I figure that out, but they will all be colorless!

On to the all important image for Week One: The Beginning. I just had to start off with an image of my daughter! I took this a couple of days ago, just us, hanging out in the morning. And yes, she’s chewing on a sock.

If there are any other photographers reading who are doing their own project this year, let me know, so I can follow along! And if anyone has a challenge for me (take a picture of –something strange/fun/exciting/new– and post it!), I’d LOVE to hear it.

(I still have an amazing session to post, I haven’t forgotten! I’m just having a hard time narrowing down which images to show, there are so many I just love.)
