operation: nap with an almost 5 yr old

Sometimes I give myself a little personal challenge or try a photographic experiment to spark inspiration or get me out of a creative rut. Last week after chatting with some photog friends, I was reminded how much I love the look of frelensed images.

Welcome back to my 365 photo project and the and then we snapped blog circle! I am sharing photos from December 20-26, and my 25th week of photos! This time of year is extremely cold in MN, so getting outside becomes a huge chore, and the daylight hours are at their shortest for the year.

and then we snapped | week 7

Welcome to week 7 of ‘And the we Snapped.’ I’m doing a little bit of catch-up this week, so I’m sharing two weeks of my images. These are from August 17 to August 30. We were trying to make the most of the final weeks of August before the kids started school. We made several trips to the arboretum, took walks around the neighborhood, had a follow-up appointment on the little one’s broken arm, and the hubby and I even squeezed in a date night. Doing this 365 project is really forcing me to attempt some images sans kids…we’ll see where it takes me 🙂 It’s definitely not in my comfort zone! I was also recently challenged to do a 30-day photo project and am starting to brainstorm ideas-thinking of pushing myself and making it faceless. Hmmmmm!?!? Don’t forget to continue the circle! I link to the talented Annie of Annie Otzen Photography. 43/365: when you got stuck inside the playhouse at the arboretum…and I stopped to take a picture before helping you out… ::cowers in shame:: 44/365: when I found your handprints immediately below a sign that read: “do not climb” 45/365: when I spotted the imperfection on this […]

I am shocked that it’s already the sixth week of the ‘And then we Snapped’ blog circle! Being a part of this supportive group of photographers has made the plunge into my 365 project something I look forward to, rather than something to dread 🙂

My Minnesota: August 2014

Well, August turned out to be a little crazy since my youngest broke her arm at the end of July (just in time for her 3rd birthday, too ::tear::).

and then we snapped | week 4

Welcome to my 365 project! I am still playing catch-up with my photos. So, I’m sharing the week of July 29 – August 2. It was a busy week filled with some firsts like a first nail salon visit for the littles, an X-ray for a suspected broken bone, and some old favorites, like staying out to play until the sun set. Once you’ve viewed my week, I invite you to follow along the ‘And then we Snapped’ blog circle to see more project | 365s from a slew of uber-talented photographers. Find the link following my images. 22/365: when you got your first pedicure at a nail salon with momma. 23/365: when you weren’t ready to wake up from nap 24/365: when you & daddy spent the afternoon in the backyard…harvesting the first cucumbers and looking for wildflowers 25/365: when you wanted the swinging to last forever, since this is the first summer you can pump your legs all by yourself 26/365: when we all headed to the doctor to get an X-ray on the littlest little’s arm, following a fall the night before. An X-ray of the wrist & elbow revealed no broken bones. 27/365 when I […]

Welcome to the 3rd installment of my 365 project, and the 3rd week of my collaboration with an amazing group of photographers. This is a look at my week of July 20-26th….the heart of summer in MN. 15/365: When you slowed down for a few seconds to have a snack at the beech (lens baby sweet 35) 15/365: When I had to pause for a moment and look at your freckles….because I love them, and you get more every day <3 (freelensed) 17/365: When is was WAY too quiet upstairs and I walked in on you two partners in crime, who snuck in some unauthorized time on the iPad. 18/365: When we went on a walk on a hot summer day and I couldn’t stop taking pictures of the wildflowers, which are synonymous with our landscape in July. And also, I pretended I can create images of non-humans! 19/365: When you took a little longer than expected to brush your teeth, and I walked in to find you naked on the counter giving your self a bath in the sink. 20/365: When you were so proud of the self-portrait you made with chalk. And I was proud, too. 21/365: When […]

project | 365 : week 1

So, I started a photo-a-day project at the beginning of July-on my birthday to be exact. And, I’ve been hoarding the photos on my computer ever since. And, I have decided to blog these photos of my daily life, hereby making this project “official!!” And, don’t be surprised if it looks like I took several pictures in one day…because I probably did…because I’m taking the advice of a fellow photographer and allowing myself to take 7 photos per week, versus strictly one each day (in hopes that this will be a successful 365 project). And, in another effort to be successful on this venture, while also supporting others on a similar journey, I am participating in a project|365 blog circle! So, I invite you to follow along on my journey, and also to follow the blog circle around to see the work of my fellow photographers. You’ll be glad you did….because they’re all incredible 🙂 Week one: July 6-12, 2014 1|365 when you ate your snack with an excavator 2|365 when the two of you decided you liked going to the dentist’s office 3|365 when you took off on a magical adventure on the trail 4|365 when you found a turtle […]

my minnesota : june edition (water, water, everywhere!)

June was full of water, and it came in a variety of forms. We (finally!) welcomed the return of warmer days, which meant playing in the sprinklers, splashing in swimsuits, and visits to our local beaches and lakes. We also experienced heaps of rain, which actually caused some flooding, but at least it was was good for a little puddle-jumping in the rain boots! Here’s what our Minnesota in June looked like! Thank you so much for stopping by to see My Minnesota in June. You can continue the blog circle by visiting Tina Fisher’s blog. And, you can check out her Facebook fan page here!
