Well, ladies I am back this week.  I was afraid that with returning to work that getting these projects completed each week was going to be difficult. That was an understatement.  But, I’m here this week.

Our theme this week is fittingly, {Green}.  I had a bit of fun in the kitchen with my oldest.  He really is such a great sport when it comes to my camera and I am working hard to make it more fun for him too, rather than the usual “sit here, no sit here, look here, smile here, don’t smile, look at my camera not your feet”.  I’m sure you get my drift.

Without further ramblings a couple of versions of green.

My limes, which will be used to make the most delicious margaritas!  And well, my boy is a cool cucumber, with some seriously Irish green eyes!  Hope you all had a wonderful St. Patrick’s Day! Next up in our circle is the very talented Alison Crane | Bay Area Family Photographer!

Lately, in my mind I am happily dreaming up ideas for photo shoots.  This is a welcome change from a very long “Winter” in my creativity.  This week, my idea for shooting in {Morning Light} came out NOTHING like I planned.  And, I am o.k. with it.  Remember, I am working on letting things go, that perfectionist in me will eventually come around.

I love {Morning Light}, but it’s not something that I usually shoot in, see I’m a night owl and I LOVE to catch up on sleep during the weekends.  So when I had my idea all planned out, and I woke up early, and it all fell to bits…I’ll admit I pouted, just a little.  But two things happened, I walked around my house and I admired the wonderful bright March sunlight flooding my windows and I became inspired, and afterwards I sat down in some of that warm light and enjoyed a wonderfully peaceful cup of coffee.

Now after you check out how I photographed in the {Morning Light}, please head on over and visit my friend Hope Toliver | Tulsa OK Senior and Family Natural Light Photographer. I can’t tell you how many times in the last couple of weeks I have texted her asking for prayer, and within minutes of my text she is on it. She is a wonderful friend to have! Thanks Hope!

{Morning Light} while wandering through my house, and I stumble upon my sweet girl who has crawled up into my bed and found my phone, much to her great delight. Click. Click. Click.

{Morning Light} while enjoying my steaming soy latte.  This is what I get to see.  O.k. I had to set my latte down and grab my new beautiful zoom lens and run out to my front yard (in my pajamas and bed hair) to get this image, but let me just say…totally worth it.

Here we are again, another Sunday and another Project 52 post. This week we are thinking about and photographing the prompt “Distress”. As always you can catch a glimpse of how the 15 other photographers in the blog circle photographed this theme by following the links at the end of my post.
This particular photo was taken on my familys trip to Portland to visit my mom. We were on our way to the sweet shop and happened by this doorway. It screamed at me for a photograph, and my sweet boy who is always ready for a snap or two obliged (cant you tell by his thrilled expression, insert sarcasm here!)!
