Team Up Thursday - Week 18

I think this week will go as one of my favorites from Christina and I. We decided to do the theme Rule of Thirds this week, and somehow we both came out kinda dreamy looking. I am LOVING this picture of Nadia. The glowing light all around, the almost out of focus-ness and the beautifully content look on her face makes it all such a great capture. Those are the kinds of pictures I love to have of Ella....When you capture the moment in time just right and I could stare at it for hours.

Team Up Thursday - Week 17

This week Christina and I tackled the theme Out of Focus. That is not an easy theme. As Christina and I talked about, you take a picture and you are conditioned to want to make it as tack sharp as possible....find a focal point and FOCUS. Not this time.

Since Christina asked on her post if you could guess who did which one...I wont give it away. Can you guess which is mine and which is Christina's?

Team Up Thursday - Week 16

This week Christina and I tackled Motherhood. I remember at the beginning of this challenge I told myself that I was going to try not to use Ella in my photos so that I could stretch out more with photography. Well, I have used Ella in quite a few shots, and I just couldn't get around it this week either. I think Christina felt the same way. :0)

Ella drew this picture of me holding a heart. But it was more than just me holding a heart. She told me I was giving her my heart in the picture. What she doesn't realize is that she IS my heart.

Christina made a fantastic post about motherhood the other day. So when you stop by to see her Team Up Thursday, scoot back and look at the previous post. It epitomizes the feelings of motherhood, along with some more adorable shots that accompany the loving one she used for this weeks theme.

Team Up Thursday - Week 15

This week Christina suggested we post the photo that we are going to use for A Moment In Time.

It was on Sunday, May 2nd at 10am here in Minnesota. Ella and I were just getting ready to walk out the door to meet Stacy at the zoo. It was like 3 minutes to 10am and I kept telling Ella that I was going to need her at exactly 10am. What happens at that moment? She has to go pee!! I never pushed that kid to pee so fast in her life. I don't even know how she did it, but we pulled it off. Btw, I have no postable pictures from that day with Stacy for several reasons (I didnt take too many, the ones I did take were either over/under exposed, blah blah blah), so thankfully Stacy was on top of things that day. I will be better next time. :0)

It was the same time in Texas when Christina found herself in the grocery store. What I love about her shot is how glossy it looks. The reflection of the cart on the floor is so great along with the colors on the shelves and almost tunnel like vision looking down the aisle. Ah, the things you can do with a picture of an every day task.

BSM - Random Shot

Good Morning Grumpy! I get such a kick out of how his eyes portray a grumpy old toad like you would see in a cartoon. I am just waiting to hear him say, "Ribbit".
