Grateful Monday

March 8th, 2010 · Grateful Mondays, life, photography, project 365

I’m so thankful for the times when the kiddos get along and play nice! My son was home last week for spring break. Yah… I thought I was going to lose my mind on more than a few occasions. She wants whatever he has, and he loves to torment her by grabbing away whatever she is playing with. Yelling, screaming and tears always follow. Two seconds later, they are hugging and laughing! Hmm…sibling love is a strange thing.

It’s thrilling to catch  unpredictable moments, like little miss just popping out her cuteness from behind the door. One of the many reasons why I love photography.

I’m grateful for vibrant colors, being able to participate in  The Love Of Color Week group and being inspired by the many wonderful creative ideas from awesome photographers.

Luckily, I don’t have a problem with keeping the kiddos clean. They love the water and taking bathes!

For The Love Of Green

March 4th, 2010 · creativity, inspiration, photography, project 365

Kristin had a great idea to get us into the spring spirit over on flickr. She started a group called For The Love of Color. I submitted the photo below for my participation. Not an easy shot to get with a 15 month old baby. In trying to explain to the munchkin to stand up on the books, I just got blank stares from her. After 5 tries, she finally stood up on the books instead of sitting on them. :)

We are all, I think trying to get out of the winter blues funk. Injecting some vibrant fabulous colors into our daily lives is exactly what we need right now. Join in the fun! It only lasts 7 days, one bold color for every day of the week. Check out the details here.

The Blog Has A New Look!

March 4th, 2010 · life, photography

It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. ~Charles Dickens~

Spring is a good time to freshness things up, shake things up and make changes. It was that time for this blog. I had mentioned a while back that I would add a third column to create more space for sidebar items. I have done that,  and a few more changes. I hope you enjoy the new look!

A Few More Outtakes

March 2nd, 2010 · photography

O.k, these aren’t hilarious or funny outtakes. But they are shots that I did consider not worthy of showing. I’ve changed my mind. I now like them.

Little miss was teething like crazy that day. I wanted some stock photography portrait shots for istock.com. I didn’t submit this one because of the hand in the mouth, but it’s still a cute one to have in the family album.

For this shoot I wanted portraits of the little man lying on his stomach and hands under the chin. I did get some really nice ones of him posing for me. This is totally unposed, just him playing under the covers of the bed.

Yeah…little miss was really having a bad day. I couldn’t get any cute smiley shots that day, but isn’t she still cute even when she cries.

I am thankful for silly fun with the kiddos. Watching them giggle is always a delight.

I heart Faces Theme – Hilarious Outtakes

March 1st, 2010 · I heart Faces Contest

Little miss sunshine is only 5 weeks old here. I had just knitted her this cute pink hat. I decided to have a photo session with her on the bed wearing the  hat. I got some of her cutest infant portrait shots during that session. But there were some funny captures too. Like the one below, too funny…it looks like she is saying, “oh, no!”
