Bed ~ Self Portrait Project February 2012

February 15th, 2012 | mine, Uncategorized

I love my bed.  Love it.  It’s white, soft, big and smooshy.  It smells like down pillows, a little bit of tide, some fabric softener and my kids’ sweaty heads.  It’s where I go to relax at the end of the day (and sometimes the middle of the day, but don’t tell anyone :-) )  It’s where noah and emme watch movies with us, all snuggled together, play on my ipad, jump, cuddle in the morning before we start the day .  . . It’s where Gus the cat HOGS half of it and leaves little bits of fluffy white fur that make me sneeze . . . he’s lucky he’s cute.  I love my bed.  So that was the location this month’s self-portrait project.  I’m a little shy about these, and I may delete this post pretty soon -eek!  But my husband and kids liked them so I guess that’s all that really matters :) I used a self-timer and a tripod for most of these and my son took a few as well.  Gus did not help, unless you consider swatting at my ankles and walking though the frame to be helpful.  He just wanted me to be done so he could get his spot back for his nap ;)

My adorable assistants, one was more helpful than the other. . ..

Gus reclaims his spot and all is right with the world.

Now go and see what photographer Christina Anglum is up to this month!

So beautiful. It’s always nice to remember how it feels on the other side of the lens, and I’m sure you and your family will treasure these forever!

Oh how I love the concept of this. It’s about relationships right? And this is perfect. Love the light and airy feel of the photos, it’s almost like I can feel how soft the bed is by your photos. AWESOME! :)

a clean start ~ self-portrait project, january 2012

January 15th, 2012 | mine, Uncategorized

This year, I’m participating in a monthly self-portrait project with 16 other photographers across the country.  The project focuses on capturing our relationships with the people in our lives.  We all post once a month and my hope is that it will be a creative and fun outlet resulting in some images I will always treasure.

Two years ago, on New Years Day, I did a bubble bath session with my kids.  They had so much fun with all the bubbles in our big bathtub I thought that I would join them for my first self-portrait post.

So, that’s us! Bubbles and all! Now, kindly head on over to Christina’s blog , Christina Anglum Photography, Katy Houston TX Photographer,  and see what she is up to this month :)

I just loved this session with Ally!  She is so gorgeous, we had beautiful weather and used some great locations – my favorite old green Plymouth, the peach orchard and two different wildflower fields.

Here are some of my favorites from her senior portrait session . . .

Maddy is my first 2012 Senior session this year and she was such a good sport even though it was about 200 degrees the night of our session :)   She is also so so gorgeous and cannot take a bad picture so here is a huge share from her gallery . . .
