Tweet Finding the catch-light in the eyes was my first lesson in photography. No matter how awful I mess up the white balance, or overexpose the image, or capture the moment relatively out of focus – I cannot stop looking at their eyes. When we go outside and I say “look up and give mommy…
Tweet My middle daughter owns my heart. I don’t know how to explain it. I love all of my children equally – that is a given. But this child knows how to enjoy life. This is the child I worry the least about. This is the child who lights up a room. This is the…
Tweet I didn’t win for my yellow last week. The entries were truly amazing. I feel so inspired when I look at the winning entries. Beauty. Talent. Wow. This week we post our favorite picture from May. Catching a quick kiss between Astrid and her daddy was a winning moment for sure.
Tweet Linking a picture up with I Heart Faces this week. The challenge is Yellow. I think yellow is an underrated color. Rarely do people say that yellow is their favorite color. The girls like pink and purple..the boys blue and red..the grown-ups green and maybe black or gray. There aren’t enough yellow houses or…
Tweet Linking the b&w picture below with the I Heart Faces photo challenge this week. Do you ever scare yourself when you talk to your mom on the phone and you hear yourself talking back to you. And you are both getting so old that you cannot remember if you are really talking to your…
Tweet I haven’t submitted a photo to I Heart Faces for several months. I kind of decided to just take pictures for me..well, and for you and started getting all freaked out about taking just the right photo for the challenge and never feeling I got it right and then getting all disappointed for “losing”…
Tweet Using one of my favorite pictures from this summer for this week’s challenge… The saggy diaper is my favorite part. Totally saving to show at her wedding someday.
Tweet This week’s photo challenge at I Heart Faces is “Photojournalism” – using a photo, or a set of photos to tell a story. Well do I have a story this week – perhaps I should just let Astrid do the talking..I mean WALKING. Baby’s First Steps. I now need a moment to cry. Also…
Tweet I am entering a photo this week for the I Heart Faces weekly challenge. This week the challenge is Pets. This was the only week I wish I had a dog because they listen. Donut doesn’t listen or really give a damn what you want to do or what you say. He is worse…
Tweet I am submitting a photo again to I heart faces for their weekly photo challenge. This week’s challenge is “play.” I think this photo shows playing in such a pure and serene scene. I love when my kids play in the kitchen while I cook. xoxo,t
Tweet I am submitting a photo again to I heart faces for their weekly photo challenge. This week’s challenge is “yellow.” I caught Eloise reading on the porch Saturday morning. She is working her way through the Anne of Green Gables series that Kristi has lovingly loaned us. She continues to amaze me with her…
Tweet I have been reading and ooohing and aaahing at the I heart faces site for the past few months and am finally entering their weekly challenge. This week’s challenge is Faces & Flowers. My goal this Summer is to really improve and work on my photography – from lighting to composure from posing to…
