So….because I need something else to do…. (can you detect my sarcasm?) I have decided to participate in a 365 project. This project is obviously not my own. It is a project that many people participate it. The premise behind it is that you take a picture a day and post it- for an entire year. Why is this an attractive project to me?? Because- when you photograph as your career- you tend to neglect capturing the little things in life. Well, I do anyway. I am always the mom at every event that asks another, more prepared mom, if she can email one of the images she is snapping with her camera. This is because, at the end of the day, I am tired and I often do not feel like lugging my 200lb camera bag around with me. Also- because when I do have my camera in my hand at events I am supposed to be enjoying, I forget to enjoy them….because I am too busy getting the perfect images. Needless to say, although I have many gorgeous fine-art images of my kids from their mandatory photo shoots, I have very few candid images of life; their life, my life; just life around us. This makes me sad. So- to alleviate my sadness, I have committed to capture at least one image a day that has NOTHING to do with work….for an entire year. We will see if I can hang.

My kids. Dirty. Muddy socks, muddy cheeks. Loving life. Mismatched clothes. Messy hair. I love this image, because Aslyn often looks so well dressed when we are out and like her mother, she loves nothing more then coming home and putting on her cozy’s. This day it is her halloween shirt and soccer shorts. And Coleson looks like such a good big brother.
