10 on 10: March

10 on 10:
Ten photos taken during one day or event, documenting that day or event, and posted on the tenth of the month.
For March’s 10 on 10 project I decided to just focus on a regular evening during the week.  Paul gets home from work around 5 p.m. and then we have the usual dinner, bath, bedtime routines of everyday life….

Paul needs about half an hour to decompress from work when he gets home:



Then it's time for dinner.

LP loves to help give Eliza her bath:

And of course we have to spend some time admiring the cute baby in the mirror afterwards:

Once Eliza is tucked in it's time for LP to head to bed.  First we brush teeth:

Then it's story time.  Lately he's into the "Mrs. Piggle Wiggle" stories which are a favorite from my childhood.  (In fact, this might surprise my mother but I remember walking to Lafayette College with her when we were little and buying the book in the campus bookstore....)

Once the kids are in bed and Paul is asleep on the couch I get to spend some time with my other loves- fabric and my sewing machine!

Now hop on over to Heather Grace Photography to see her 10 on 10 for March!

    I love the bath pictures, too! What I love most is the cheese grater next to her tub. LOL. That looks like the random stuff that was on my counter when I would bathe my kiddos in the sink. They're a bit too big for that now. Looks like you had an enjoyable evening!

    Oh my! That bath shot....I just had to stare at it a bit because it's SO cute! I love the baby watching big brother. And I love the other stuff on the counter since it's a snapshot of real life. The reading photos and all the different compositions are great, too!

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!

10 on 10: January

This year I've decided to participate in two monthly photography projects along with some of the other members of Bloom , a photography forum I'm part of.   The first of these projects is a 10 on 10:   Ten photos taken during one day or event, documenting that day or event, and posted on the tenth of the month.   Everyone's entries are posted in a blog circle- you can follow the links from blog to blog and see everyone's contribution. (And WELCOME! to any of you who might have come here from Rachel McCalley Photography !)   I decided to use the 10 on 10 in January to document a typical day now that I'm a full-time stay at home mom.  A few caveats:  I neglected to take any photos of the morning which was spent at the pediatrician as it was a rather negative experience (more on that in another upcoming post).  I also neglected to notice that my camera was set on jpeg instead of raw (perhaps a child was messing with my settings?  Am not sure wha...
