2013 Photo Challenge

I've decided to join Paint the Moon's photo challenge this year and am loving the motivation to get my "big camera" out and photograph the kids. It's a lifestyle challenge and it has been so much fun capturing our everyday moments that make up our life. Lifestyle photography is something that I am really passionate about. I think it's important to document those mundane, normal moments because one day you will look back and realize, "that was our life." I am excited to start offering "At Home with...." sessions when I finally get to open my doors to El Dorado County.

Anyway, here's weeks 3-5 of the challenge. I joined a little late in the game.

Week 3: I Wish I Could Freeze Time
The Husband came home from a long shift at work and all he wanted to do was take a nap with his little girl. Be still my heart.

Week 4: A Different Perspective
This is a normal perspective, but not one that I would usually photograph. I'm sure glad I documented it though because I will miss this little face looking up at me soon enough. This picture was chosen to be featured in Week 4's roundup! I was so excited to see my sweet little girl's face among other great photographer's pictures. What an honor.  You can check it out here: http://paintthemoon.net/blog/2013/01/lifestyle-photography-photoshop-actions-life-project-week-wrap/.

Week 5: Finding the Light
I love this picture of our sweetie. She loves to hang out by our (very dirty) slider and yell at her reflection. This day she happened to have a wood block in her hand. She cracks me up. 

I guess this week's needs to be of our boy. Poor guy must be feeling left out. He's so much harder to catch. :)
