Day 4/ 366

Hmm...  When I post the day like that it seems like an overwhelming task that I have started.  

You would think that with 5 kids, I wouldn't have to post the same child 2 days in a row...  :)  She LOVES to dress up.  This is a southern belle/ Scarlet O'hara dress that she got for Christmas.  It came complete with a hoop skirt.  She loves it...

New Year... New Beginnings... or just restarting old projects... :)

Recently I gotten caught up in the trying to make something out of my photograpy that I have lost sight of making things through my photography.  I had stopped making time to shoot just for the fun of it.  I havev decided to try the 365 project, except being the really ambitious person that I am, I decide to do this on a leap year so it is 366 days of "Documenting Delight".  

First day, first post...  Yay me!  I am still on track.  :)

A Little Sunshine and a Little Sidewalk Chalk | Just Me and My Girls

Surprisingly, we had a nice afternoon here.  A couple of days ago i had purchased some new vibrant colors of sidewalk chalk and my girls were begging me to out front and play with it.  It was a great chance for me to play around with some of the fun images I have seen on Pinterest.  Definitely a first attempt, but I had so much fun that my brain is just flipping through new applications for this idea.  I have to admit that I think that my crabby photog mom side came out while I was in my creation mode, but I think the girls had fun anyway.  Little miss worked on her Harold and the Purple Crayon city.  I just got all crabby with them smearing my picture and the biggest ordeal was getting her to trust me that the sun was behind the clouds and that it wouldn't hurt her eyes to open them and look at me.  Silly girl.  If she can't look up at the cloudy Seattle sky, we might as well blindfold her for the move to Texas.  :)

A Day of Sunshine with a Tahoma Senior - Class of '11 | Maple Valley Senior Photographer

Saturday was the first gorgeous day in western Washington in a loooooong time.  It shouldn't have surprised me that when I went to go meet this senior and her family at Coulon Park that  the place was crawling with photographers.  Crazy considering how challenging the direct sun is.  Last senior shoot I did at Coulon we were running from coverred area to covered area to stay out of the drizzle, this time we were trying to find some shade (and great reflected light.)  As we tromped all around (in the mud) we took all of the strange contrasts you have in the Seattle area when the skys clear and the temp hits 60.  We saw one guy sitting without a shirt trying to get some sun and nearby was a girl all bundled up in her fur edged hooded sweatshirt.  It was a great people watching day down at the lake.  Meanwhile, we got some great images of this beautiful senior.

These are the first ones that I have edited...  I might have to share more as I edit more.
