photography – Page 7 – making unbreakable

little women.

Sometimes you open photos on your computer and they take your breath away. I can’t believe how blessed/lucky/happy I am.

Five years is a long time to wait for a baby. A really long time. When you compare five years to 40 weeks…pregnancy flies by. When you’re trying to have a baby for any amount of time, let alone years, you already live your life in weeks. Week one: Period. Week two: Ovulation and copulation.Continue reading “sublime reality.”

photographic darkness.

It was at this point in my pregnancy with Addie that I attempted to end both her life and my own. Much of my life story can be told through pictures. Bad boyfriends, vacations, new friends, old friends, bad outfit choices and even worse hair choices. But there are no pictures from that three monthContinue reading “photographic darkness.”

28 weeks.

I gave Addie my remote shutter release and free reign to do whatever she wanted…this is what she came up with. She’s six, and I couldn’t be more proud.

blind bokeh.

There’s a certain type of photography I envision in my head.

Look, chances are your child spends most of his or her time at this age invading your personal space, running away from you orContinue reading “to anyone who’s ever attempted to take a decent picture of a little kid.”

135/365.

So remember how I was all “Pfft. Project 365. A photo a day? FAIL! Instead I will end 2010 with 365 photos I love.” Well. I’m to 135. I feel like I’m getting better. How’s it going for you?

the other one.

There’s something very strange about holding your friend’s new baby when she says “Stay here, I’ll go get the other one.” When she brought “the other one” my head nearly exploded. I don’t want to say I picked a favorite, but you guys, “the other one” and I must have known each other in aContinue reading “the other one.”
