365 Project | Day 102 - 109 | Seattle Portrait Photographer

I see I'm really getting in a rut here.  This project is tough - especially trying to take some time to creatively plan then execute an image you have in your head.  Many days I don't feel I have time!!  I do feel like I'm constantly looking around me during the situations I'm in each day too "find" the photo.  It may be bordering on obsession though.  I'm looking at the light falling on the kids and various objects I see; I'm looking for cool patterns or backdrops, or something interesting and out of the ordinary while going through my soccer mom routine each day.  Some days I do much better than others!  I'm looking forward to some new inspiration these next few days when we take a little vacation to the Hood Canal.

These photos are from April 11th - 18th.

Day 102 - my mermaid

Day 103 - i love bamboo.  I love the lime green color and the strong lines of the stalk and delicate shapes of the leaves.  It makes me happy.

Day 104 - I made a trip to IKEA and finally got the kids a bunked.  We got it set up and they were reveling in their newly acquired play space in their room.

Day 105 - i woke up to this view out the window

Day 106 - the kids started their spring break.  Among the many activities we're doing, we made time for pedicures.

Day 107- you may recall from the last post, Ella was asked by our neighbor to take care of their chickens while they're out of town.  Ella loved it and was really serious about making sure we did everything the job required: letting them out to roam for a bit, re-stocking the feed and water, cleaning the hen house if necessary, providing the chickens with a little treat, and of course, collecting the eggs.

Day 107.2 - her favorite thing to do was picking up Buttercup.  Getting the hens back in their house proved to be very interesting for us!!  It involved a lot of chasing and laughing.

Day 108 - alone in a crowd

Day 109 - this is an instance where I saw something I wanted to compose when seeing the shadow of the tree but I couldn't quite get it in the camera.  Its still somewhat cool though....
