Welcome

Happy Twenty Eleven! After a failed 365 in 2010, I am taking on the 52 week project with no particular theme in mind. Still just hoping to capture my growing baby girls who own my heart! My hope is to capture and document their every day life and that this is something they'll look at fondly in days, weeks, months, and years to come! Follow our journey! And while you're here, click on the Inspiration link above to be inspired by others to get started on something similar or keep going - you won't regret it!

Proof that photography is so much about good light...but who cares when it's

Me and Mine

week 29 me and mine 7-11

She's mine...all mine...and I love her. 


Linking up this week with my friend Jayme Franklin |  SF Bay Area Natural Light Photographer.  Check out her Me and Mine to see her and hers!!!  She is a master of light so try not to judge me to harshly after viewing her post :) 

When I got home this evening, I had an email invite from her to link up my me and mine post with hers this week.   So while this month was last minute, I hope that  this will motivate me to stay on this personal project a bit better than I have.  Hopefully next month I can be a bit more creative or in the very least...find some better light; but, I'm pretty sure that a year from now when I look back I won't be looking for the gorgeous light, but instead I'll be pleased to have found a moment to jump in front of  the lens smushed next to the girlies that I love.

Have a great week!

ETA:

I posted this Sunday night and today (Monday morning) the twins woke up and saw the camera set up on the tripod and begged and begged to get in on the action...but one shot wasn't enough...we all got in...seriously as we were...me in my bonnet (yep, I wear that at night) and my toothbrush (ahem...that's not a prop), MacK with her one roller for the front part of her hair that doesn't curl as naturally anymore, and the girls...well you see...

I think that it's kinda funny that I can't ever get them to pose or smile for the camera unless I set up a tripod...those girls!

yep...me and mine.

Oh my! I am in love with this project of yours. I have the hardest time getting in my own photos. But if I looked like you, I'd have no trouble at all. That first is wonderfully beautiful! And the following are perfectly everyday. Everyone needs to do this. How fun!

Kate said...

Hope these are awesome...I love this idea so much!!!

Rachelle said...

love the impromptu shoot... and I swear, had you not said you (Mommy) were in the shot, I'd never have guessed this wasn't a sister's series. You look incredible - bonnet, toothbrush, and all. Tripod and remote have become my personal best friend.

G K said...

Um, Hope. You. Are. Gorgeous.

And you say I look young? Child, please, you look all of 15, and I am NOT exaggerating! And your arms look so toned -- are you working out without me? :)

And those shots of you and your girls are priceless. That first shot of the twins is SO sweet!

For some reason I only notice when you post here sometimes. I've gotta make it a point to check here more often because you post some really sweet treasures here!

(Oh, I wear a bonnet just like that at night!)

Ashley Sisk said...

Your family is so so beautiful - love these shots.
