Week 12/52 | Sparkle

This week’s theme was Sparkle.  I had so many great ideas for taking photos of sparkly things, but it just didn’t work out the way I had planned.  Regardless, I love this photo of my sweet Piper with a little tree sparkle. 

Week 11/52 | Blue

This week’s past week’s theme was Blue.  As soon as I saw that, I knew I had to take a photo of my son Henry and his eyes.  This morning at breakfast, the light was just right, so I grabbed my camera and started shooting.  He didn’t want much to do with the camera, until my husband started showing how to do the “Blue Steel” pose from Zoolander.  So, I’ve got double blue this week!  Blue eyes and Blue Steel.  I don’t know about you, but I think Henry nailed it. . . .

Week 10 | Personality

This week’s theme is Personality.  I feel like my kids ooze personality – in so many different ways.  I especially love my sweet Piper’s quirky personality.  She is so aware of everyone around her and how they react to her.  And she is always ready to entertain. . . .

Week 9/52 | Color

This week’s theme was Color.  The funny thing about that is that I’ve been really into black & white photos lately. . . .  I decided to just take my usual photos throughout the week and use whatever had some color that jumped out at me.  Although this photo has plenty wrong with it (like the fact that you can only see the head of one of my four children huddled around my husband), I love how it shows how the grass is beginning to turn green, and showcases the great outdoor activity of blowing bubbles!
