I’m cutting this one close! The little one has been sick all week, but she’s finally on the mend. This was taken at the nearby park last weekend, and she was walking around with dad. She LOVES the park, and since we can see it out our front window, she’ll stand on the couch throughout the day, and point over to the swings, yelling “DAH! DAH!” (she says “dah” for a lot of things). This image makes me laugh, because she is totally telling someone or something “No, no, no!”. She mostly tells things this, like sticks, pine needles, and… Keep reading

9|52 Oh, The Drama
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… Keep reading

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… Keep reading
7|52 Foreshadowing
This week’s photo cracked me up the minute I snapped it. I had to act quickly, as she is FAST, but I was able to capture this image of Lila on her plastic play phone. She loves holding it up to her ear anytime I say “hello!” to her. I have a feeling this image is very telling of days to come… I can’t believe she’ll be one next weekend. SIGH.

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… Keep reading
5|52 Better Late Than Never
I know, I didn’ t pos t 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… Keep reading

When I first started doing this project, I wasn’t sure how personal I would end up making it. I didn’t know how much of me I wanted “out there”. But I’m finding as I shoot every week, I NEED this to be personal. I shoot from the heart. I love capturing moments, emotions, those little pieces of time that are gone before you even realize they were there. This week’s photo is one of my all-time favorites. It is not technically perfect, in any way–in fact, it’s quite imperfect. But the story it tells, is perfect. This is an image… Keep reading

We are still sick over here, so this will be short and sweet. She’s getting better, slowly but surely. This photo was taken of Lila doing one of her favorite pastimes–throwing herself on the couch. She loves to stand up and look out the window, and then throw herself on the cushions. Never fear–I’m always sitting on the couch with her, barricading her in. This is a good example of why I love wide angle lenses! And of shooting from the hip. Big fan. Happy Weekend!!

I can’t believe it’s been a week! I also have other things to post on here, but I’m just getting all caught up. The theme of this week is Sick. Sick, sick, siiiiiiick. The daughter is sick, and the husband is also sick. I’m hoping I’m spared this round, because I’ve already had 2 or 3 colds this fall/winter. Fingers crossed! Here’s the little peanut, lying on the floor in the living room. She’s watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse (her favorite), and snuggling with her giraffe lovey/blanket thing, thumb in mouth and all. I absolutely love that I caught this moment,… Keep reading

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!)… Keep reading
