I ♥ Faces- Best Face of 2012

This month at I ♥ Faces the theme is "Best Face of 2012." This is always so hard for me to choose! Let's see, I took 4,776 photos in 2012. Actually, I probably took at least 4 times that many but 4,776 is how many I deemed worth keeping! That's almost 1,000 more than in 2011... 9 days into 2013 I have over 300 photos so this might be a record year!

Ultimately, I narrowed it down to my favorite 30 or so. I'll share the others in my next post.

After much debate I chose this one as my "Best Face." I love the way LP is looking up as the snow started flurrying and I also love the contrast of the colors...

What Winter Looks Like...

(Welcome to anyone arriving here from Blue Zebra Photography !) (Oh! And this is post # 500 on Ye Olde Blogge. Wow!) I mentioned earlier that I'm participating in two different photography projects this year with other members of the Bloom Forum . The second project I'm participating in are monthly photos that relate to a certain theme or word. For January, the theme is "Winter." We've had an odd winter so far here in Massachusetts. Hardly any snow at all and over the weekend it was actually in the 50's which is pretty unusual. We did have a brief snowstorm last week though and while LP and Eliza were cozied up on the couch together I wandered around and took a few photos of the scene. I love how cozy it is in our house when it's snowy out and wanted to capture some images that conveyed that...

February: What Shadow Looks Like

(Welcome if you’re coming from Suzanne O'Brien Studio in Northern California!) This month’s group photography theme was “shadow.” I’ll admit, I had a bit of a hard time with this one. We’re in the middle of the February doldrums around these parts, and while the sun does shine from time to time it’s cold and blustery and damp most days. It was tough to get motivated and creative about this, but that’s the whole point of the challenge! The kids and I were in the living room one afternoon and LP was lining his toys up on the windowsill. The (frigid) afternoon sun was pouring in and I realized that there was a sort of lightbox effect. I enlisted LP’s help in photographing some of his favorite toys (and one of Eliza’s) so he was the “stylist” for this little photo shoot. I think if we ever have a dedicated play room I might frame some of these photos for the walls! Sophie the Giraffe: Army Guys: Captain America (I never noticed how r...

E+M Patterns, Boy’s No. 7 Shirt Review and GIVEAWAY!

ETA- Congrats to comment # 6, Laura who wins her choice of pattern from E+M Patterns! I'll be in touch! Recently I was chosen to test out a boy’s shirt pattern by a new to me designer, E+M Patterns . Well folks, I have to say that this pattern is fantastic! The Boy’s No. 7 Shirt is designed for woven fabrics. It has fabulous details like a boat neck style neckline, button closures at the shoulder seams, side seam hip vents at the hem, a simple pocket to hold treasures and the option of full-length sleeves or 3/4-length sleeves. I was asked to test the shirt in a size 6 with long sleeves for LP which ended up being a perfect fit for my tall and skinny guy. For fabric I finally broke into my hoarded stash of Sarah Jane Designs fabrics and pulled out a fat quarter of the “A Pirates Life” from her Out to Sea line. Sarah Jane is my all time favorite children’s illustrator and I adore all of her fabrics… This seemed like the perfect shirt to really sh...
