Day 10...a childhood memory...

Well there are so many things that I could photograph for this one, but I settled on two things that really stand out from my adolescent years. One, cheering and football games! Oh, my how those were some fun times! Friday night football games, pep rallies, competitions,....you name it, we did it!

The crown is from winning Homecoming Queen! I have to say, that was pretty awesome being a teenage girl!

The thing that really reminds of my childhood is dance. I have taken dance classes since I was 2 years old. I took for 15 years and then taught for 8 years until little Darby came along! Now I get to be the mommy of a dancer and that is a whole new kind of fun! Kimberly (my little sis) and I would dance everywhere...I think we drove my mom crazy bouncing all over the store! Dance is still a big part of my life...now I'm the mom peeking in the window to catch a glimpse at my little girl dancing!

Happy photographing to all! I'm having fun with this challenge. Practicing my shots and editing! Until tomorrow...not sure what the challenge is, so I better be checking on that!

Day 9...someone you love!

I love so many! My heart, soul, and everything belong to these two!

My goal today was to shoot a picture of Matt with the kids but his work schedule did not allow that to happen. I love my family more than anything in this world. I have truly been blessed!

I've been playing around with some editing tricks on these last few photos...just trying to better myself! Tomorrow is day 10, take a picture of a childhood memory...stay tuned for that!

Day 8...a bad habit...

I'm sure I have plenty of bad habits like shopping, pinterest, shopping, shopping for crafts....oh, you get the point! However, it's not fun to display my own bad habits, so here's my hubby's bad habit. I hate it and I wish he would quit (period)! I'm throwing these cans away every minute and if I get my hand on the spit bottle, it's in the trash, too!

We love you honey and want you to be healthy and with us forever!

Day 7...a day late, sorry! Take a picture of fruit!

So here are my fruit shots. Again, I was rushed. We had a field trip with Darby's school which completely wore me out!!!! And I'm a day late posting this day. Photography class field trip today, so should be interesting and fun! Will post my learnings later!

Day 6...shoot from a low angle...

Today I was to shoot a picture from a low angle. This is as good as it gets today! It was a full and busy day so I didn't really have enough time to get a really good one. I shot this picture of Bodie while lying down on our sidewalk waiting on the bus to run this morning. Multitasking!!!!!! He kept crying..."I don't want picture mommy!" I won this battle!

Tomorrow is a big day...Darby is going on her first official field trip and we are going to the zoo! I'm so excited to be going along for this!

Day 5 - take a picture from a high angle.

Today was day 5 of the challenge and the instruction was "take a picture from a high angle." I carried my camera to work with me today knowing that I could park on the top of our parking deck to hopefully get an insteresting shot. This is what I got! I took one before going in to work with the sun was up high and the other when I was leaving with the sun was just starting to set.

This challenge is really fun! It makes you think about what you are photographing. Tomorrow I will be shooting from a low angle.

The kids pumpkins

The kids had to have these little pumpkin kits from Target the other day. Yoda for Darby and Buzz for Bodie. I picked up some small pumpkins tonight while grocery shopping so we could get a head start on our pumpkin decorating!!!!

Darby making her Yoda pumpkin.

Bodie putting together Buzz.

Aren't they so cute!

The best kind of carving you can do! Stick some arms & legs in the pumpkin! I love that there was nothing for me to clean up.
