This summer one of my goals is to break out of my photography comfort zone, get out my camera’s manual, and try some new tricks. So I thought I would share with you some tips on the importance of perspective when shooting a subject. Your perspective can completely change the feel and mood of aContinue reading “it’s all about perspective”

take twelve
I was glad the 12th was on a Saturday this month so I could record our typical Saturday activities. I captured photos of our house-cleaning and chores in the morning, the kids making a sign to welcome Dad home from a business trip, me cooking lunch, Faith playing with her toys and napping, and myContinue reading “take twelve”

april take twelve photos
April 12th kind of snuck up on me, and it happened to be the day that my boys received their Eagle Scout awards, so there were a lot of great photos opps that day. Again, many of these were taken indoors with not-so-ideal lighting. A friend of ours took the outdoor ones so my hubbyContinue reading “april take twelve photos”

take twelve + a giveaway
To help me get more practice on my new camera, and to help make sure I’m telling my everyday life stories (in addition to the celebrations and events) I’ve decided to take on a year-long photo project. Now, I didn’t take this whole thing lightly because I’ve honestly avoided these photo-a-day, photo-a-week, etc projects forContinue reading “take twelve + a giveaway”
photo friday
I have been waiting for years to be able to afford a nice DSLR camera. I’ve been reading about, researching, and practicing on improving my photos for a long time on my trusty little point and shoot, but there is only so much you can do with one of those. (I still love my pointContinue reading “photo friday”
photographing your kids naturally
I don’t know about you, but it’s rare for me to get natural looking photos of my kids. It seems like most of the time they either look stiff and posed, or they’re a blur in a mediocre candid shot. When I saw Rebecca Cooper’s latest ebook from Ella Publishing Co., I was so excitedContinue reading “photographing your kids naturally”
