Week 24/52 | Texture

The theme for the week before last was Texture.  I couldn’t decide what to use for this theme – but earlier today I was watching Rosemary (wearing her first set of french braids), and realized that I wanted to capture her hair just as it was – messy or not.

Week 23/52 | Seasons

This week’s theme was Seasons.  Sarah said that she had intended for the theme to be summer, but that some photographers participating in the Project 52 may not be in the summer season.  Anyway, being as we were at the beach last week, coming up with a photo that signifies “Summer” to me was easy!

Week 22/52 | Yellow

This week’s theme was Yellow.  I had no idea what to do with these theme, but during late Saturday afternoon, I saw the sun shining through my friend’s baby girl’s blonde curls, and just knew I had my shot.

Week 21/52 | Dream

This week’s theme is Dream.  I've been wanting to take some sleeping photos of my kids for a while, and this theme gave me the push I needed to give it a shot.  I'm definitely going to have to start taking these on a more regular basis.

The theme for this week is Motherhood.  This photo is of all my kids, hanging out at the creek after hiking and a picnic, with my baby girl looking like she's ready to be a big kid.

Week 19/52 | Weather

This week’s theme was Weather.  It was a dreary Mother's Day morning outside, but my kids' sweet present of posing for a photo (or ten or a hundred) really brightened things up!

Week 18/52 | Happy

I’m a little behind again, but hope to be caught up within a day or two!  Last week’s theme was Happy.  Swimming in an inflatable pool in the backyard and spinning in circles . . . pure happiness! I'm also really happy about Emma Wood's new Clickin Moms breakout session where I'm learning more about B&W visualization and conversions. Great information!!!
