365 Project | Day 148 - 163 | Seattle Portrait Photographer

It's been a while, I know.  Here I thought I could coast along doing my thing until the kids get out of school {yes, they're STILL in school, unlike the rest of the world} but apparently coasting isn't going to happen.  Let's see, we've had numerous school, swim, play date activities and birthday parties leading up to the end; we've been spring cleaning - aka - selling a ton of stuff on Craigslist, we are getting a new deck built, we've been gearing up to take the kids camping for the first time this weekend; and last, throw in work and normal chores.  It actually wears me out just typing this.....

I think I have some interesting content mixed with some normal day-to-day photos hopefully you'll enjoy.  I'm looking forward to some lowlight and campfire/tent pics this weekend to get my creativity flowing - plus its going to be a blast!  Some of my fondest memories are our family camping trips.

So here goes.  These photos are taken from May 29th to June 13th.

Day 148 - busy bee taken with the 70-200 lens.

Day 149 - I love my grandpa's retro clock

Day 150 - playing with magnets - thank you Nana!

Day 151 - my favorite flower - the peony - blooming!!  Love love - I just wish I could grow them in my yard.

Day 152 - I had a photo shoot today in one of my favorite secret locations.  Afterwards I was scouting around and found this private message.

Day 153 - Sunday.  We were out doing yard work and selling household goods to Craigslist shoppers all day.  I walked by this spider several times going from the front to the back yard.  He was actually tiny.  I used my Lensbaby macro x10 lens to get him.  It was a little creepy.  The lens was so close to him I kept thinking he was going to jump onto my hand or the lens.  I kept feeling something and checking to see if he was still on his web.

Day 154 - 2nd to last day of swim lessons.  This was taken with my Olloclip on my iPhone with the fisheye lens.

Day 155 - rain tracks.  I used my telephoto and slowed my shutter speed to 1/125 second - no tripod.

Day 156- wavy light on the curtains.

Day 157 - spicy tuna rolls, anyone?

Day 158 - flaming torch blooming in the front yard.  I absolutely love the bold graphic statement this plant makes.

Day 159 - funky trailer.  Does anyone know where this is?  I see it practically every day.

Day 160 - Isaac's favorite pastime since he was 2 years old - playing with his cars.

Day 161 - A little after dinner conversation.

Day 162 - I had a photo shoot at Isaac's school today - Montessori Garden.  I've always loved their beautiful old-school classrooms and the colorful, wooden montessori materials round out the look.  This is a type of math- bead "work" kids can choose to get a lesson on.  Isaac loves anything and everything math at school.

Day 163 - last day of swim lessons!  Taken with the iPhone :)
