I forgot to blog this!
In my monthly kid portrait tradition, sometimes certain months have to follow certain rules. The October pictures feature cheesy pumpkin props. The November pictures are the Christmas card portraits. December pictures are indoor portraits of the kids in their Christmas formal outfits. And then we have January, which feature their Christmas pajamas.

I told the kids to hide. I love them.

Peek a boo!

They really do love each other.

more peek-a-boo!

I know I am biased, but man these are some cute kids.

My little angel.

One last one before their 10 minutes of cooperation was over.

It’s that time of the month again! The Life Story Series!
Ever see a photographer who starts out with a 365 day project, or even a 52 week project and never finishes? Yeah, me too. Well, I recently joined a group of a few other busy photographers who decided to commit to a 12 month project! If we fail this, we’ll be taking donations for a time management seminar. The best part is that it will be totally candid, lifestyle shots of each of our own families/lives. We don’t even have to dredge up random people or make our kids pose for us. We’re calling the series “The Story of ________” and we’ll each be filling in our own blanks. At the end of this post is a link to another photographer who participated and she’ll be linking to someone else. It’s a whole big circle of stories in pictures. Click through and enjoy!
This month, my story focuses on my kids and their relationship with their Daddy.
Bug, like most 4 year old girls, loves to dress up and be a princess. If her Daddy is home, she is usually tugging on his hand, asking him to be her prince so they can dance together. Moose, like most 2 year old boys, in mostly interested in rough housing. He’s happiest when wrestling around, falling over, climbing, tickling, etc. And together, they love their books and stories. Every night before bed, we snuggle together to read a book.

She *loves* to dance.






In the top one, I told Moose to whisper a secret in Daddy’s ear. I heard him loudly whisper, “wuv you!” Melt my heart.

As if the Life Story project wasn’t enough, I decided to add another once-monthly project to my plate. My New Year’s resolution this year was to focus more on personal work, so these group projects are really going to force me to keep up with it all and I’m enjoying every moment of it.
This group is a fabulous group of women I met on a photographer’s forum, and we are following a set theme each month, using our camera to describe how we view the theme.
This month is New Beginnings.
To me, every day is a new beginning. A clean slate. Waking up in the morning and knowing the entire day is waiting for you to make of it what you will. I’m charging myself this year with the responsibility of taking control of my own life. Instead of sitting back to wait and see what life delivers me, I am going to go out there and find it myself.
