Project 52: Week 39

With fall on its way and the sun starting to go down much earlier, I've started experimenting with some different light sources.  Expect to see more experimenting going on in the weeks to come!

Project 52: Weeks 37 & 38

Another time when I've slacked.  But now that summer is coming to an end I will have a little bit more time to dedicate to this project.  In the mean time, here are weeks 37 & 38.

Weeks 32, 33, 34, 35 & 36

Wow....I can't believe there are that many posts that I missed.  Did I count that right?  I might have to double check - I also did a terrible job of filing my photos and have been completely unorganized!  Things are starting to get back to a more regular pace for me, so one of my goals is to just make it through the year!!!

Project 52: Week 31

So this is a little bit late to post, but I have been keeping up with my photo a week challenge.  I'll be posting last week's shortly as well!  We've been having some amazing weather up in these parts - but today was a welcome change with a little bit of rain.  (We don't have air conditioning....)  Here's to remembering two weeks ago.

Project 52: Weeks 29 & 30

We were out of town over the last two weekends on our annual family vacation to Priest Lake, with hardly any cell or internet access, and it felt good to take a break from editing and posting weekly.  But then again, it feels good to be back in the swing of things.  Its amazing what being disconnected from the world can do for your soul, and how quickly you pick up where you left off.

Project 52: Week 28

The weeks are getting busier and busier as summer is now in full swing...but we are still finding time to go to the pool!

Project 52: Week 27

One of my favorite spots...

Project 52: Week 26

I'm calling it a win that I've made it half way through the year!  It's gone by so fast, and when this project is over I am going to really enjoy making an album and having an entire year in one book.

Project 52: Week 25

When summer comes to the pacific northwest, it really comes.  Today was absolutely gorgeous.  We got outside nice and early, the kids were in the little pool by 10AM.  Such a great morning.

Project 52: Week 23 & 24

Last weekend my husband and I were out of town in Park City, UT shooting my cousin's wedding, so I didn't post week 23, even though I got a photo.  So, this weekend I'm posting week 23 and 24.  Simple moments are the ones I love.

Project 52: Week 22

Warm weather!!!  That's about all I have to say.  When the sun is shining, all you need is a mini pool, slide and hose.

Project 52: Week 21

Hard to believe we're getting close to the halfway mark.  I'm pretty happy that I've made it this far.  I've even thought to myself, "next year I'll do a 365 day photo project."  Then I quickly talk myself out of it.

Here's week 21.

Project 52: Week 20

Popsicles are always good indoors.  Waiting for an exceptionally sunny day to have them outside too!

Project 52: Week 19

This weekend was good.  An amazing day was had at the park, spent exploring, showing their dad their new favorite hideouts.  Making new friends.  Soaking it al in.

Project 52: Week 18

Dark, rainy, dreary days call for indoor photos.  Here is week 18.

Project 52: Week 17

I'm starting to see a pattern...and that is that I am starting to fall behind on my 52 week project.  Still getting my photos taken, but just being late to post.  Here is week 17.

Project 52: Week 14

So we had a ton of rain.  I don't think I got outside at all this week other than walking to and from my car, how sad is that?  Oh well, it's forcing me to shoot indoors, and even though it's not my favorite, I'm still getting a few images that I love.  This project is all about expanding my horizons and pushing me, right??  I even missed focus on one of them, but still love it.  Here's week 14.

A Quick Adventure

Our trip to Gasworks didn't last long as it was really windy and cold, but we did have fun while it lasted.  I did get this photo.

A little bit of snow...

It snowed this weekend!  I absolutely love the snow.  Probably because we don't get much in our parts, but growing up Eastern Washington I saw plenty of snow and I totally miss it during the winter.

It snowed just enough to make the kids happy, but around 11am or noon it was definitely starting to melt.  Cue the grandparents.  They drove over and brought with them two HUGE coolers full of the fluffiest snow (our snow here is sooo heavy and packs really hard).  As you can see, they had tons of fun and we could have thrown snow at them for hours.

Project 52: Week 6

Before the Superbowl last Sunday we got outside and enjoyed some sun.  It was such a beautiful day (made better only by the Seahawks WINNING!) that we had no other choice but to get some fresh air.  Plus, the kids were going a little crazy inside in anticipation of the big game.

In addition, I just bought a film camera.  That's right.  A film camera.  Why you may ask?  Many reasons.  To challenge myself.  To get back to basics.  Nothing can really produce the same look that film does, a lot of stuff comes close, but I find myself dreaming about film.  The anticipation of getting scans back from the lab gives me butterflies - in a good way.  Soooo, I can't wait.  I feel like's its Christmas day!  So, once I've gotten some test rolls under my belt, I'd love to shoot a session in film.  If anybody is willing to let me try it out on them and even toss me a few bones for the development of the film, well, that would be the bees knees.

**side note...I told myself at the beginning of this project I only had to take one photo a week.  six weeks in and I can't put my camera down...**
