All indoor self portraits for October. Even though it was still pretty summer-like for the majority of the month, the beginning of fall always finds me retreating indoors. Maybe I’m looking forward to the holidays? Speaking of, I have started listening to Christmas music almost every day now that Halloween is done. 2 months per […]

August was a rough month for self portraits. The end of summer seems to drain me of creative energy. Still, 2 portrait sessions are better than 0. {Morning Routine} Clearly, I was trying to squeak in under the wire for this prompt. I do like to fit in a bit of yoga and stretching to

Self portraits were flowing easily in July. Some months are better than others… Interestingly, it appears that this was also the month of pink shirts? The above 2 photos were for the prompt “What I’m Reading.” I’m a pretty voracious reader. Reading has always been one of my favorite hobbies and one of my favorite

I’m running out of a bit of steam on the self-portrait project front. Summer saps my energy. Not only does the extra time in the sun leave me craving a nap every afternoon, but having kiddos home all day, eeeeeeveryday is hard for this introvert-needs-time-alone persona of mine. I consistently find that times in life

May. Well, it’s gone and I’m not quite sure where it went. Life does this odd simultaneous speed up and slow down around the time that the school year ends and starts. Here is the month in self portraits, mainly prompted by the Instagram project #portraitsofme , but including a couple from a fantastic escape

4 months down on the Instagram project, #portraitsofme ! April was also host to my yearly “Day in the Life” shoot. For the past 4 years I’ve chosen one day in April (generally late April, because I tend to procrastinate on making the constant camera toting day happen) to shoot an overview of what my/our

Take a look at your image archive. Go ahead. Click over and count up how many images you are in, in the past month’s folder. If you’re like most photographers, or more broadly- most women, I’d venture, the number of images that feature you is quite small. But, you are important, too! Your children will want

I decided to capture a normal day in our lives. However, this turned out to be a ‘semi-normal’ day, as my husband was home most of the morning and then went into work from the afternoon through late night hours. Mornings always start with the littlest guy waking up hungry. After he eats, or sometimes
