Six Months Old

I got to hang out with Hadley Mae a couple weeks ago, for her six month shoot. Because of some rescheduling due to these dang winter illnesses, it was more like her seven month shoot. She is such a sweet little spitfire. I think she would've appreciated not seeing my camera at all, but she did warm up to me once I started shaking her awesome little dumbbell rattle around.

Her pictures were done in her home, the light was perfect- even had some sun poke through briefly. It was also fun to see some of my pictures on their walls (maternity, birth & newborn images). I always love seeing how clients display their photographs!

January, the End. February, the Beginning.

So here I am, not giving up on the photo-a-day. I'm still referring to it as a monthly project because I wasn't sure if I'd make it past January & really unsure if I'll make it past February ;) 29. January 29th. & when they are sweet, they are very, very sweet.

30. January 30th. I love that it looks like they're holding hands. (& this image was featured on Lemonade & Lenses weekly favorites, yes, I am bragging!)

31. January 31st. Goodnight, January.

32. February 1st. Reach for the stars.

33. February 2nd. The superhero smirk.

34. February 3rd. Sunday morning- jumped in for a shot, since the rest of my family was lounging on the couch.

35. February 4th. It's almost Valentines.

Now head over & view the week through Nenonu's lens.

January. 31 Photos. Week Four.

With just a few days left this month, it's time for me to decide if I'm continuing on with this project, or sticking with the one-month thing. I think I'm taking the plunge & welcoming February with my camera. I'm really, really enjoying it- it gives me so many more opportunities to get creative with locations, light, ideas, etc., but I'm just not quite ready to say I'm doing a 365-project ;) 22. January 22. Walking in the rain.

23. January 23. Time to go to Disney, he needs his own set of ears.

24. January 24. Fly so high.

25. January 25. This is not Rylee.

26. January 26. The sun came out!

27. January 27. I successfully created something inspired by Pinterest- miracles do happen.

28. January 28. He asked to pick out his next birthday card, which is 6 months away, when he turns four (not five).

Now head over to January Skye Photography, to see what their week looked like!

Welcome to the World, Jax

Even though my kids are young, it's still easy to forget how quick they change & how fast they grow. Jax was just a week old in his pictures; he seems so tiny, like my own could never have been that little. But they were; & not very long ago. It amazes me how fast they transform from this beautiful brand new bundle, into an active, curious little creature, ready to take on the world. Jax made his presence known loud & clear, right from the start. Greeted not only by two amazing parents, but also a big brother & big sister, he is one very lucky little dude. So much love for a such a deserving little one. Welcome to the world, Jax!

26 Fridays: Week Two.

This week's theme is out-of-focus, soft & blurry. Who would've thought that would give me so much trouble? Apparently, I have a preference for images that do not fit that category. That's why these themes are such good jumping off points, they make that brain stretch into creating an image that you otherwise would not have considered. When I saw the sun hit our deck just right, I had to take advantage of both the light & the theme.

January. 31 Photos. Week Three

Seven more days, seven more images. The last week flew by, as usual. The weather, our health, it was all a roller coaster this past week. But we got outside. I'm determined to get the kids out every single day, regardless of the gear we have to layer on. They need to run in the open air. It keeps us all better spirited. 15. January 15. Chasing the waves.

16. January 16. Post-park pink cheeks.

17. January 17. Bowling boys.

18. January 18. Waiting for Ry.

19. January 19. New flashlight.

20. January 20. Fossil Beach.

21. January 21. Bedtime routine- turning on the fish light.

Now head over & visit January Skye's images from this past week- & continue on through the circle!
