I have had a blast photographing my kids for the month of February, 28 days straight. Picking up my camera every single day has taught me so much about my style, my kids, what I want in a photo, and “seeing” the photo before I take it.
I learned that I love my old camera that I thought I hated, (you know, the one that I “upgrade” from?) Most, if not all of these photos were taken with my discontinued 6 megapixel camera. I don’t use the best equipment out there, not even close, but I sure do focus all my attention on rocking what I have! It really doesn’t matter what kind of camera you use, if you don’t know how to use it, then your photos will not turn out like you imagine.
I learned that I love color! I loved this black & white challenge, and I feel I have close to perfected my black & white workflow, but boy do I need some color on my blog! I’m sure in the coming days you will see a color explosion from me!!
I learned that I love to blog. Just love it. This isn’t just a place for me to drop my photos and run, I love to hang out here and read your comments. I encourage you to subscribe to my blog’s feed, click the little “RSS” button at the top of the blog or the “subscribe” link on the header. There are many different ways to subscribe to make it convenient for you. I know I don’t have time to surf blogs all day, so I get all my favorite ones straight to my email inbox.
If you are a lurker here, please comment on this post! I would love to see who has been following me through this fun journey! Don’t be shy…commenting is fun and it keeps us bloggers happy and inspired :)
Ok…enough talking…here’s my last photo of the month.
Day 28/28: No grand plans for today’s photo. This is exactly how I wanted it to look. I love taking these outstretched arms photos, I took quite a few when I did my 52 weeks of self photos last year! I wanted my last photo to be very unposed, nothing fancy, just us. We are all in our pajamas, just up from a Sunday afternoon nap (yes, even me!) Zach is of course doing his thing, Abby is ever trying to get her whole body in the photograph, and Lily…well…Princess Liliana is just fed up with the whole process and has no intention of hiding it.
{Come back tomorrow to see my favorite outtakes from the month!! Photographing three children every day makes for some interesting and very unposed photos!}
Much love to the ladies who participated in this challenge with me!
