Snapshots From A Mom: Series Two


It’s Monday, Good morning! I awoke to a rainy and cold day today.  Although the weather outside is uninviting, here in the studio it is sunny and bright and always inviting.  I invite you to grab a cup of coffee, read my post and enjoy the morning.  Because it's raining, cold and cloudy, I want to share a bright cheery and fun photo of my son at bath time!  Bath photos are a little tricky to take for me anyway because my intention is to give my baby a bath and not make it a photo shoot. However, when you see something as cute and fun loving as a baby in a bath, it just need to be captured and preserved for posterity.  As I yelled to my husband to "quick get me the camera", I knew this was a photo op that I did not want to miss!  Thanks to the quick response of my sweet husband, we did not miss it and here is one photo I love. Have a great day wherever you are and may the sun shines down on you today!

Snapshots From A Mom: Series One

Now that I have some blog posts under my belt; I am going to post a series each week called “Snapshots From A Mom”.  I love photography and capturing a moment in time is thrilling to me.  Gone are the days of “f stops” and “dark room” developing of my prints.  I take snapshots of fleeting moments in my life mostly of my children because they are all consuming and have been since the day I gave birth to my first-born.  I have said in the past, they are my inspiration in all that I do and this holds true for my photography.  The subject matter will be mostly my children as seen in this post.  I will introduce my old photograph portfolio once it is retrieved from storage. My equipment for this project is an old Cannon Power Shot S2 IS and my smart phone. This is really a study of finding sparks of creativity I did not know were there when I was taking the pictures.  Looking back at the snapshots of my boys, I see a trend emerge.  I frame my images before I shoot them. I love tight-cropped photos.  I seem to catch expressions or an interesting juxtaposition of the subject to their surroundings. Come back Monday for the continuation of my series.
