Photography: The View From Here

This week was fun...  

Isaac and I went on an "adventure" today, we found this field behind our elementary school.  Isaac had a blast running through the fields while I took some pics.  The theme for this week is "The View From Here."  Here is my take on it:

Happy 39 weeks

Oh what a joy when you finally reach the last weeks of pregnancy!!!!   I am so ready and excited to meet this new lil one.  I wonder will this baby have red hair like it's brother Isaac, will it be a boy/girl?  I don't think much about the delivery part...bc then I will freak out, but I do pray everyday that everything will go smoothly and QUICKLY! :)    I also pray that my water doesn't break in public or at work.  So, if you are thinking of me in the next few weeks those are the prayers you can pray for me as well! :)  Here is the 2nd prego pic taken of me for this pregnancy.

                                                39 wks!!! WOOT WOOT

Photography: Open Your Heart

 I'm realizing quickly that I just won't be perfectly happy with every submission, but I find this one to have turned out kind of humorous.  My husband turned 30 this week and I decided to focus my assignment around him "Opening his heart to the 30's."  Let's just say I may not use him as a model anymore...all his photos turned out slightly creepy, or maybe I should blame it on my concept.  LOL... either way you may need to "Open Your Heart" when viewing this weeks submission.  

I love this man...  Happy 30th Babe!

Just for you...

Photography Assignment: WORDS

This week my photography assignment is: WORDS.   There are so many ways you can interpret this, but I wanted to try to think out of the box and do something different.  So I have been looking around town for some graffiti that is in a relatively "safe" place where I can take Isaac.  I found this graffiti actually a few minutes from where we live, it's an abandoned building and says "NO TRESPASSING" all over the place.  But I figured that "No Trespassing" doesn't really apply to amateur photographers and their 21 month old child.  So here is my rebel son:

I have a hard time just picking one picture to post.  :)

Great Genes

Today we celebrated my husbands grandpas 90th birthday!  Look at how adorable him and his siblings are, 3 of them are now in their 90's!

                       Nick's grandpa is the 2nd one in from the right

Photography Assignment #1

I just recently found a photography website where they challenge you to one assignment a week based on a theme.   I decided it might be a fun challenge for me since I have been wanting to have a creative outlet, but  this first assignment has me frustrated.   Not only do I not really like the theme, I also have been frustrated with my photography skills.  So to help me feel not so frustrated I bought this book titled:  Canon Rebel for Dummies.  Well...I think I may need a simpler book than that.  Out of desperation I also bought myself a new lens figuring it must be the lens that is the issue.  I haven't received my lens yet to know, but I have a hunch it's not the lens either.  LOL, it all makes sense until I pick up the camera and start taking pictures.  Anyways, I guess this photography hobby is going to take some time.  


So...here is my attempt for this weeks theme.

The theme is:  MUSE

...yes aiming at Slater

                               Slater "Musing" over how his life came to this?
