Let's Do 52 week 3 {Clinton IN photographer}
Here's my Let's Do 52 shot for this week. The theme was everyday tools. Ok, so this isn't the actual camera that I use every day, but I picked this one from my collection of vintage cameras for this shot because I like the contrast of the black and silver.

Pinewood Derby {Clinton IN photographer}
This is Joey's 2nd year in Cub Scouts and the Pinewood Derby is a big highlight of the year. We are pretty bad about procastinating in this house so even though we had the kit for about a month , it was made in the last 6 days before the race and just finished at 10:45 the night before!
Joey wanted something different, so we searched pinterest for ideas and when we saw a photo of a Wii remote car, we knew it would be the perfect fit for him!
Last year, Daniel (my husband) did pretty much all the work but this year Joey was able to do a lot of it himself and was really proud of it when it was done!
He got a trophy for fastest in the wolf den and another for most original (as voted by the other scouts). He was REALLY proud of that.

Happy Birthday, Karley! {Terre Haute IN event photographer}
Meet Karley, one of the funnest and happiest little girls! When I talked to her mom about a storyteller session, she said Karley's birthday is a BIG deal to her, so it was the perfect day to remember in photographs! Kristin, I hope you love these, and Karley, I hope 9 is a GREAT year for you!
Karley has alopecia, just like my oldest son Joey. You can read more about it here if you're interested. It's not contagious, it doesn't mean they're sick, it just means their hair falls out. In our case, other kids have rarely stared or said anything mean about it, but a few adults have been shockingly rude. Please remember than kids are people and deserve respect and kindness no matter what they look like!

Let's Do 52 - week 2
This week's theme: responsibility
The Let's Do 52 - Kids Click Too theme this week was toys. Here is Joey's picture for the week:
And here's Abbie's:
Both kids used the "big" camera this week (my Canon 7D) and did their own processing in photoshop. Abbie is not that into the editing part yet, but Joey had a lot of fun doing it all himself. He chose his focal point, and experimented with camera angles (all this in between working on his pinewood derby car). No actions for this boy, he did his own black and white conversion, sharpened, and added his name all by himself. I think in a few more weeks he won't even need me to remind him how to do anything!

my sweet little Jonah {Clinton IN baby photographer}
My little baby is growing up! He's almost 8 months old now, just 4 short months until he's ONE! Since he's my last, I'm a little sad about that! He's sitting up, rolling and scooting, but no where close to crawling, which makes me happy. I'm so not ready for that!
On this day, Jonah was supposed to be napping, and he's usually a GREAT napper, but he was having an off day I guess and wanted nothing to do with that. He just wanted to play. So, I grabbed my camera, took a few (ok, maybe more like a hundred) shots and he was forgiven for not sleeping.
I made him this blanket before he was born. You can't see in this picture, but it has a whale on it. I was obsessed with finding him whale stuff. You know, Jonah and the whale. He loves this blankie and cuddles with it when he sleeps. I made him a mini version so he wouldn't feel the need to carry the big one around when he's a toddler, but he's not impressed with that one. Go figure.
If you want to see the rest of the images from this little mini session with my mini man, check out my facebook page! Like the page and leave me some comments!
Let's Do 52 - week one {Clinton IN photographer}
I've thought about doing a project 365 (photo a day) or project 52 (photo a week) for a few years but never took the plunge. This year, Paint the Moon is hosting a project 52 with 2 themes to choose from each week AND a kids' version with different themes that Joey (8) and Abbie (almost 6) are so excited about.
This is my photo for week 1 (a little late). The theme was "sharing" and this is Jack and Jonah sharing some cuddle time on my bed. This happens every morning around here and it's one of my favorite times of the day!
Here is Joey's shot for the week (the the theme was metal)
This is Abbie's shot
They're both using my old Rebel and even learning about photoshop! This is going to be such a fun year!
