Sick
We had a great visit with my mom and I have two full memory cards I haven’t even looked at yet. Somehow I went and managed to get myself really sick the day my mom left. Sorry for the lack of blog posts, I have an inbox full of email and lots of voicemails that need attention too. All in time, once I get to feeling better. 102 degree fevers are no fun.
having way too much fun to blog
The first two times my mom came to visit in Austin, I was either really pregnant and sick, or just had a baby. This time around though, I feel great and am much more mobile, and it’s been so fun to get to go play with my mom and the kids too! We’ve been a busy bunch, eating out, shopping, going to the pool, hitting the park. Tonight we’ll bbq and then hit the pool again. It’s been so much fun being able to go and play during this visit! But…..I proofed this shot early this morning and I just adore it. I keep coming back to it. This one is all about the crop. And the chub. And the […]
we have a roller
one more from yesterday…this is the first time he held his head up really good, he’s getting so big! Not to mention the fact that he’s rolling over now. While I was photographing him, he would roll over, then turn his head around and look at me like "did you see me mommy!?"….little stinker! I love it in black & white too… I shot this with the 24-70 mm L lens in Taryn’s room. I just threw my white shaggy fabric down on the ground, put T’s green chair behind him and draped the fabric over it – voile! – instant and easy backdrop. My mom got here this morning, safe and sound. I’m so happy she’s here.
Just one.
Thanks for the comments below (keep them coming please!!). Ok, so I took the camera out and just shot for awhile. I "forced" all three kids to participate. I love a shot that Anne Marie did awhile back of Brick and Calla, only T wasn’t into it at all. Ty and Teagan we happy to help though. See what I mean about Taryn? Moody 2 year old and Mr. Funny Face… More coming later, gotta go fix dinner!
feeling uninspired with my photography
Ya ever just feel blah? I want to be inspired by something that makes me want to run for my camera. I guess I need to just go pick up my camera and shoot my way out of this feeling. That usually helps. Anyone wonna share an image that inspires them? Link it here in the comments, I’d love to see. Or post a link to your favorite image at the moment, yours or someone else’s, but be sure to tell me why it moves you. I can’t wait to see what you guys come up with!
10 on Tuesday
Let’s see if I can make it through 10 before one of the kids requires my attention…. 1. Teagan does the whole eyebrow scowl thing just like Jason and Taryn. I think he’s pretty funny. Exhibit A: 2. Had a playdate with Alli and Ms. Lily this morning. Taryn has been doing so great potty training that we decided to make it her first official outing without a pullup. She was totally psyched to discover Lily’s new pink princess bathroom! Yeah, it was a huge hit. Too bad Ty and Taryn share a bathroom, I doubt we can convince him to go princess LOL! Oh, and T did great, no accidents and we even went to the grocery store afterwards. […]
