Project life 365- Week 4

A week full of surprises, dinners, and happy moments.
My 30th birthday came and went.
Friends’ surprise and family dinners made it a memorable one.
I’d like to think I’m 29 forever.
Simple quiet moments were enjoyed.
Tree hunting and heart cutting.
Valentine minis full of “heart breakers” and “singles”
Ending with a nice candlelit dinner.

Day 20- Birthday Love- My 30th birthday, I couldn’t think of a better way to capture the beauty of life than the one who started it all for me, my mom

Day 21- 30 surprises- My best friends’ suprised me by filling my house with balloons and 30 reasons why they like me. I cried like a baby! They truly are the best of friends!

Day 22- A night out- I rarely wear makeup but a birthday dinner was one of those occasions lol

Day 23- Crayon thankfulness- Thank goodness for restaurant’s crayons and coloring books. Keeping three little ones sitting at a restuarant is a full time job.

Day 24- Icetub- Duckies taking advantage of whatever water is left before it freezes.

Day 25- Simplicity- I was drawn to the shadows. Just simple.

Day 26- Heartbreakers- Valentines minis with cute little ones and their funny tshirts. Many heartbreakers and single and loving it. Super cute!

Day 27- Reflections- Our dinner centerpiece in it’s glory.

Week 2 of Project Life- 2013 Photo a day

Week 2 has come and gone! It has been one of those weeks that have been especially busy in all aspects and feels like nothing has gotten accomplished (ever have one of those?). Looking back on my photos this week, they show me despite this being a busy week, I was still able to check some items off the to do list and well, some items remained on that list so that enjoying the small little things in life like a quiet moment or a night out with friends were possible :)

Day 6- New Kitchen floors finished :)

Day 7- Children imagination- I don’t know about you, but I have not seen many snow people this year, so when I saw three of them, I thought it was a perfect way to document a snowy January day (who knew a couple days later we would have 15′C weekend?). So I pulled over especially to capture these three, when I moved in closer, I noticed that it was a snow mama, deemed wild with a drinking problem (picture top right– sticker that says wild). Children’s imaginations make me smile.

Day 8- Round and round again- Today was a difficult day– it was a busy day and creativity was running low. It was a day that I just wanted to relax and put my feet up and have a glass of wine. While thinking over a glass of wine, I looked down into the glass and well… day 8 picture ;)

Day 9- Clear as day- Picture taken of Hamilton, Ontario, Canada

Day 10- Let’s make this a spare ;)

Day 11- Sneaky sneaky- All while he thought no one was looking, my nephew pulls up a little chair to reach the counter where nana’s homemade cookies were. Captured through a mirror in the dinning room :)

Day 12- Love them toe-toes- Sweet little 6 month old session today, little guy loved his toes :)

Project Life Day 2-  Blinds leading the blind

I love sunny mornings! There is just something so refreshing and energizing when the sun shines :)

This morning while working away on the computer in my office, I glanced over at my bedroom and saw some great sun lines, I knew I had to play :)

Day 2 of Project Life is Blinds leading the blind-  Being so used to setting up and focusing my camera on a person/nature, I find self-portraits difficult with no one to focus on or to help vision the final shot.  I can only set up the picture as best as I can and predict where I think I’ll position myself, but when I get myself in front of the camera with the self timer blinking at me,  I feel blind. Thankfully, with the sun shinning bright through the blinds, the lines helped to lead the way ;)

Happy New Year everyone!  It seems so surreal that 2013 is here,  2012 flew by so quickly!

This year, I have decided to embark on a new exciting challenge called Project Life-  its a project to that involves capturing a photo a day for the next 365 days.    I would love by the end of this project to be able to create a nice photobook of all the wonderful images captured during the year.

Day 1- New beginnings-  Its all about hanging on to the wonderful memories in 2012 but also looking forward to the incredible things on the horizon for 2013 :)
