Day 67/365: This is such a common thing in my household. To hear the low growl of little boys as they drive their cars and motorcycles all around the house! Today my husband humored me and made this awesome track on our kitchen floor where our boys have been spending hour upon hour of driving enjoyment!
Day 65/365: I am a dreamer. I want to go far with my photography. I want to show how I view the world through my eyes. I want to be able to tell a story about my life. I have so many inspirations in my life. I am following a community of photographers who are so extremely talented! Then there is Facebook and Pinterest where there is also so much inspiration. Inspirational people with amazing talent! I'm lucky to be starting this adventure by learning so much through those willing to share their ideas and talents. I have not been lucky enough to find someone close to home who shares my deep desire to learn the intense equipment and techniques, so that part has been on my own. And that has been ok. This little book is rightly titled: dream. I have so many dreams. I may go nowhere with my dreams - or I may go far. But now that I think about it - that doesn't really matter. So far I am enjoying this journey of learning all I can about my amazing equipment. I have had the pleasure of offering sessions to families who have been a joy to meet and get to know. Bottom line, if the last thing I do on this journey is to document smiling faces, my children, my life; then I will have fulfilled my dreams.
Day 63/365: Daddy calls his little girl "bug" or "buggy." Of course, I went wild with this - buying everything I saw that had ladybugs on it. I made things with ladybugs on them, and even I even centered her first birthday on ladybugs. These adorable slippers are the most recent purchase for daddy's sweet little bug and she has been running the house in these things. Not only on her feet, but also on her hands "walking" all over the walls and crawling up mommy's leg. We sure do love our little bug. I know these fazes will be outgrown eventually so in the meantime - we will enjoy showering her with all things "buggy." (She will never outgrow the nickname though)! :)
Day 61/365: I got Fujisu when she was a few weeks old. She was a gift to me after a tragic loss in my life. For the first few months of her life I never put her down. She was so small I would put her in the pockets of my sweaters and jackets. She is quirky... She insists on eating on carpet - which means that she walks from her bowl in the kitchen all the way across the floor to the carpet in the living room. After being let in from outside she runs the house until she finds me just to touch my leg with her nose. If I am in my room with the door closed, she lays outside the door until I let her in. If I go to the bathroom she lays outside the door until I come out. When I sit anywhere in my house, she insists on being right beside me - either by my hip or by my legs. She sleeps by my feet all night long. To summarize, she can't ever be too far from me. And because I had her for many years before we had children, I am the only one she really cares about. She isn't a big fan of the kids but she isn't totally upset by them either. She is my companion and company. She doesn't judge me, she doesn't criticize me, and she truly loves me just because she loves me. I can cry in front of her, laugh in front of her, scream in front of her - and all she knows and cares about is that I am always here for her too. |

I have taken on a challenge to take one photo a day for this entire year. I have been excited to join up with an amazing community of talented photographers who have also taken on this challenge. The goals I have for myself this year is to, first of all, complete the whole year of 365 photos. I also want to allow this challenge to teach me all I can about the equipment I have in order to better myself as a photographer. I am excited to learn and experience so much this year through this challenge. Thank you for taking the time to look through my journey. It truly means a lot to me. Archives
