Snapshots From A Mom: Series Nine ~ B/W Photography Portfolio

Well, I have come to the end of this series and would like to move forward and discover something new or just do something different. When I started this series I mentioned that my portfolio was in storage and that I would like to show some of my old black and white photography to you. I am a total amateur at photography but do love to capture images. I must confess these were take a very long time ago but as promised I dug them out of storage and here they are.
 

Have a wonderful week! 

Snapshots From A Mom: Series eight ~ My Sunshine

I am so blessed to wake up to this beautiful face every morning! Although he is six now and the baby face has developed into a little boy face, I am so glad I can look back on photos like this and remember the baby phase of our lives together. 

Have a great week. 

Snapshots From A Mom: Series Six

What can I say...this photo was staged just a little.  It's funny that the boys are both squinting!  Still, I think a very cute expression on their faces.  On a different note, I am working on some great baby shower invitations this week.  I should be back on schedule to post for Wednesday and Friday.  I have some exciting news to share so stay tuned!

Have a great week!

Snapshots From A Mom: Series Three - Brothers Love

Good-morning my three wonderful readers!

I had a bit of a late start this morning.  My Monday series three post, "brothers love" is a sweet look back at my boys.  I love how delicate M is being with J.  Fast forward to today, imagine two little monkeys jumping and playing with each other that would be my boys today.  My little monkeys!  Well for now,  I leave you with a sweet look back, with this snapshot from the past.  A sweet moment to share with you on Monday.  Have a great week.

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!

Until next post <3,

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. 

 Thanks for stopping by,
