I chose the theme and my main reasoning behind it was because I thought it would be neat for everyone to get to know the Share Six contributors a little better&#8230;.even ourselves. \u00a0We may all do this blog circle together, but we live all over the world and lead very busy lives, so we don&#8217;t really get to know much about each other except through our blog posts.<\/p>\n<p>So here is a little about me. I live in a medium sized metropolitan area in the midwest&#8230;about 3 hours west of Chicago. \u00a0I was born and raised in this area, only spending two years away shortly after getting married. We lived in a suburb of Chicago for those two years, and moved back to be by family once my husband was given the opportunity to telecommute.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve never taken the\u00a0Myers-Briggs test, but from the sample tests I believe I am an INFJ or close to it. I&#8217;m kind of nerd and always have been.\u00a0Good grades and good behavior were my main goals in school. So on several occasions I was called a goody two shoes. I suppose my strong-will drove me to be a rule follower.<\/p>\n<p>On my Instagram account, in the &#8220;about me&#8221; section, I have listed: Child of God | Wife | Mom | Home Educator | Musician | Photographer | Lover of Life | Crunchy | Wanderlust. Those are the words\/phrases that pretty much sum up who I am. So a few of my images this month will\u00a0be based on those things.<\/p>\n<p>The first one is an image of my husband and myself. Well, it&#8217;s of our feet. I love being the wife to my amazing husband. Marriage isn&#8217;t easy, but there is no one else I&#8217;d rather be married to.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_6852edit_web.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-852\" src=\"http:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_6852edit_web.png\" alt=\"IMG_6852edit_web\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_6852edit_web.png 960w, https:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_6852edit_web-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_6852edit_web-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_6852edit_web-450x300.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>The second image represents the fact that I am a mother. My kids (and husband) are my everything. As a child, the two things I wanted to be most were a wife and mother. So those two &#8220;jobs&#8221; are the ones I take the most seriously as well as the ones that I enjoy the most. \u00a0This picture was totally &#8220;curated&#8221;. I realized I hadn&#8217;t done a picture of the kids and me, and realized my daughter was heading out of town the next day, so I told them they needed to cuddle with me so I could get a picture. My son, being the goofball he is, kept making funny faces. Then in all of the craziness I accidentally elbowed his face while trying to get my arm under him, and this was the resulting picture.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_2995bw_web.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-847\" src=\"http:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_2995bw_web.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_2995bw_web\" width=\"960\" height=\"720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_2995bw_web.jpg 960w, https:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_2995bw_web-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_2995bw_web-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_2995bw_web-400x300.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Musician&#8230;It seems weird to say that, but I do make money playing the piano and organ. I&#8217;ve played the piano since I was 5, and started playing the organ at our church at 15 years old. So I guess I can say I am a musician.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_6846_web.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-849\" src=\"http:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_6846_web.png\" alt=\"IMG_6846_web\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_6846_web.png 960w, https:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_6846_web-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_6846_web-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_6846_web-450x300.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I know I&#8217;ve mentioned before that grew up looking at my grandparents&#8217; National Geographic magazines and I dreamed of being a photographer for NG. I&#8217;ve always loved exploring and traveling, and so the idea of traveling the world taking photographs sounded like the perfect job. I may not work for National Geographic, but I did become a photographer. (The image in the camera is not photoshopped. I wish I would have had film in the camera so I could have taken that picture, but I have a picture of that picture, so that&#8217;s next best.)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_6833_web.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-850\" src=\"http:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_6833_web.png\" alt=\"IMG_6833_web\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_6833_web.png 960w, https:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_6833_web-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_6833_web-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_6833_web-450x300.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Here&#8217;s another thing about me, I LOVE a few different forms of exercise. I love biking, swimming, kayaking, weight lifting and hiking. So I decided to do an image that represents that.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_1425_web.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-848\" src=\"http:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_1425_web.png\" alt=\"IMG_1425_web\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_1425_web.png 960w, https:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_1425_web-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_1425_web-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_1425_web-450x300.png 450w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>This last one is one from last year. It&#8217;s our family picture I took for our Christmas card I never sent out. So yep, that&#8217;s me. I almost always have good intentions, but life gets in the way and my good intentions don&#8217;t always pan out. \u00a0This picture though is of my precious family&#8230;the ones I love so very much&#8230;the man who made me a wife and the kids who made me a mom.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_9319_web.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-854\" src=\"http:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_9319_web.png\" alt=\"IMG_9319_web\" width=\"640\" height=\"960\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_9319_web.png 640w, https:\/\/cobertphotography.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/IMG_9319_web-200x300.png 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Thanks so much for stopping by!
