Yay! Day 2! Little steps... right?
My kindergartner is quickly becoming a good reader and she LOVES reading...
New Year... New Beginnings... or just restarting old projects... :)
Recently I gotten caught up in the trying to make something out of my photograpy that I have lost sight of making things through my photography. I had stopped making time to shoot just for the fun of it. I havev decided to try the 365 project, except being the really ambitious person that I am, I decide to do this on a leap year so it is 366 days of "Documenting Delight".
First day, first post... Yay me! I am still on track. :)
A Little Sunshine and a Little Sidewalk Chalk | Just Me and My Girls
Surprisingly, we had a nice afternoon here. A couple of days ago i had purchased some new vibrant colors of sidewalk chalk and my girls were begging me to out front and play with it. It was a great chance for me to play around with some of the fun images I have seen on Pinterest. Definitely a first attempt, but I had so much fun that my brain is just flipping through new applications for this idea. I have to admit that I think that my crabby photog mom side came out while I was in my creation mode, but I think the girls had fun anyway. Little miss worked on her Harold and the Purple Crayon city. I just got all crabby with them smearing my picture and the biggest ordeal was getting her to trust me that the sun was behind the clouds and that it wouldn't hurt her eyes to open them and look at me. Silly girl. If she can't look up at the cloudy Seattle sky, we might as well blindfold her for the move to Texas. :)
A Day of Sunshine with a Tahoma Senior - Class of '11 | Maple Valley Senior Photographer
Saturday was the first gorgeous day in western Washington in a loooooong time. It shouldn't have surprised me that when I went to go meet this senior and her family at Coulon Park that the place was crawling with photographers. Crazy considering how challenging the direct sun is. Last senior shoot I did at Coulon we were running from coverred area to covered area to stay out of the drizzle, this time we were trying to find some shade (and great reflected light.) As we tromped all around (in the mud) we took all of the strange contrasts you have in the Seattle area when the skys clear and the temp hits 60. We saw one guy sitting without a shirt trying to get some sun and nearby was a girl all bundled up in her fur edged hooded sweatshirt. It was a great people watching day down at the lake. Meanwhile, we got some great images of this beautiful senior. These are the first ones that I have edited... I might have to share more as I edit more.
Waiting for baby...
While the rest of us are just waiting for spring here in the Northwest, this family is waiting for their spring baby. You would think that the arboretum in the second weekend of April would have blossoms and fresh spring green everywhere. Well, after this winter, I shouldn't have been surprised that we were in coats and that the only green came from the evergreens and the moss. We endured the cold and got some great shots of this beautiful mom to be. Can't wait to meet their little girl next month!
Waiting for Spring with an Awesome Family | Maple Valley Family Photographer
The winter her in Western Washington seems to be going on forever. We were lucky enough that it was relatively warm a couple of weeks ago for our session. It was cloudy with a few sun peeks, the trees were still bare, but it wasn't raining and that has been rare lately. I met with this gorgeous family along the Cedar River, a favorite place of mine. These guys were so great... and the 4 year old... with those eyes and just his overwhelming cuteness... It was just too much! Not that there was any shortage of cuteness going around. The baby girl stole the show with all of her smiles... and a little bark eating. Both of these guys are so lucky to have a big brother who is truly awesome with them. Great family! Too bad we missed the beautiful blossoms.
