Welcome!

Thank you for visiting my 365 blog!

{If you'd like to visit my portrait photography website, click here.}

I'm a mom of 2 kids and have been a photographer for over 4 years. I decided to task myself with doing a 365 {or rather 366} photo project for 2012. I will take a photograph every day, with my "big girl camera". It will mostly be about my life, portrayed artistically. I want to challenge myself creatively and try new things. I'm excited about where this project will take me and I hope you will follow the journey with me!

365 Project | Day 9 | Seattle Portrait Photographer

I didn't feel too creative today, but I did exercise.  I just started running again after a 2-month hiatus and it feels so good to pound the pavement and get my heart pumping again!  I had my music with me - an iPod shuffle - and I LOVE it.  Running wouldn't be the same for me without music.  I used to have a much bigger clunky Nike apparatus that I would strap onto my arm and it would hold - maybe - 60 songs.  Times have changed!  I can't even feel the weight of this little shuffle, nor will I hear a repeat song thanks to the 1 GB hard drive.  Thank you Steve Jobs!

I'm reading his book, by the way.  Fascinating.  You should read it if you haven't yet.

So here's my shout out to running and the shuffle:

365 Project | Day 7 & 8 | Seattle Portrait Photographer

I thought I'd lump two photos together from the last two days since I didn't get around to it Saturday.  The first is from a photo shoot yesterday.  This 6-year-old boy was an absolute doll and his sweet side comes through in this photo with a very genuine expression.


This is today's photo {Sunday the 8th} - Ella had a neighbor friend over for a play date during our lazy Sunday afternoon.  They let their imaginations take over as they played - literally- in every square inch of our house!

365 Project | Day 6 | Seattle Portrait Photographer

Hi!  Well, I did take this pic yesterday but didn't get it posted quite in time.  I captured this quiet moment between Isaac and Dad bonding over an iPad game.....

365 Project | Day 5 | Seattle Portrait Photographer

I love this little guy :)  This was taken on our couch with some unusual mid afternoon sun pouring through our front window.

365 Project | Day 4 | Seattle Portrait Photographer

Saw a lot of this today in the neighborhood.  Makes me sad that Christmas break flies by so quickly.
