February 2nd – “Dark”

Here’s my take on the theme “Dark”.

IMG_6424_webIt’s been a dark and cold winter and I think we’ve all got a bit of cabin fever.  I know with the dark comes gloominess, but while taking this picture of my son sleeping in the dark, I was reminded that during the dark of night, we receive rest and are renewed with energy for the coming day.  Spring will be here before we know it and will be filled with warm sunny days and bright colorful flowers.

 

February 1st – “Light”

I’ve been wanting to participate in a monthly photo challenge for quite some time now but have never gotten around to doing it.  I’ve finally decided to go for it though.  I’m coming in a few days late, but will try to catch up quickly.

For those who don’t know what a monthly photo challenge is, you are given a list of themes for each day.  So, each day you take a picture of your interpretation of the theme.

Follow me each day as I post a picture of the theme for the day.  Hopefully you’ll get to know me a little better.  🙂

The theme for February 1st is “Light” and here is my take on it.

I absolutely love light!!  So much so that one of my requirements for our home was that it had to have lots of windows to let in a ton of light.  I also love twinkling lights.  They just make me feel all warm and fuzzy like Christmas.  Plus, they are great to photograph.  Hope you enjoyed my take on “light”!!

“Back to School” themed shoot

I recently threw together a “Back to School” shoot spur of the moment.  It’s something I’ve been wanting to do for a few years now, but never got around to doing.  Here are some pictures from the session.  I’d love to offer mini-sessions with this theme if there is enough interest.BlogBoard1_paperbckgrnd BlogBoard2 BlogBoard3 BlogBoard4 BlogBoard5 BlogBoard6

Books

I recently joined a group of talented photographers who have a monthly challenge based on a theme.  This month’s theme is “Books”.  It only seemed fitting to do my take on the theme at our local library with my daughter.  She absolutely LOVES reading and begs to stop at the library every time we drive by.  It’s actually quite interesting to watch her at the library because she is always on a mission.  She knows what books she wants and if she can’t find them she goes straight to the computers to look them up, and if that fails she finds a librarian and asks him/her.  Her independence at the library just amazes me.

I also love her excitement about the books.  She always insists on checking out at least a dozen books every time we are there.   She’ll have her arms loaded full of books, eager to get home to read them.

So here is my take on this month’s theme ~ “Books”!

Longer days!!

How’s everyone handling the time change?  I have to say that I am loving it because it means longer days and the coming of spring.

I’ll leave you with a picture.  It’s not a very springy picture, but let’s just say it’s a picture signifying the end of winter (which is hopefully soon).  🙂

Winter Doldrums

I know everyone is longing for spring especially after this big dumping of snow that we just got, but I’m one of the few that absolutely love the snow. I happen to think that it is gorgeous! I also think it makes a gorgeous backdrop for pictures. Not a lot of clients want to have an outdoor session during the winter, but I urge you to give it a try sometime.

Here’s a picture of my daughter. Does this change your mind about outdoor pictures during the winter? 🙂
