52 WoA – Weeks 17-21

Sigh. I’m so behind in posting these…Blowing the dust off! Mic check! 1-2…1-2…

Week 17 – Lines.  This chair is awesome.  Seriously – very 70s.  It sits in the parlor of my hometown church.  Man is it super comfy too…

Week 18 – What You Do Outside Photography – I could have put my day job, but this is what I do 24/7.  Being a mom. Chasing after stinky boys and being their shoulder to cry on, ear to tell secrets to and offer up cheeks for kisses. I love my job.

Week 19 – Weather – Um…Not creative at all. But can we say COLD?!

Week 20 – Emotional Attachment.  I honestly don’t have a whole lot of emotional attachments.  I don’t know if that’s a good or bad thing, but I do know that I love seeing all my mom’s old ornaments that are dear and special to her heart.  This one in particular.  Dang this kiddo is adorable.  Even with her country singer inspired hair. She turned into a truly gorgeous woman! :)

Week 21 – Pets… The one thing I lost in the divorce were my dogs.  I miss them like crazy (well not the pet hair e.v.e.r.y.w.h.e.r.e.) but now I’ve adopted my parents cats.  They secretly love my camera. I don’t blame them. I love it too…

Week 16 *Emotion*

This one was very tough on me.  Not because I couldn’t find emotion, but because I wanted to make that emotion truly felt in my photo.  I think I nailed it.

Happy 80th Birthday Grandpa.  This image doesn’t show how sad you are, but how blessed you are with a family and friends that always love you.  You are an amazing man and I’m so thankful that God gave me to you as your granddaughter.  You are a huge support and amazing mentor in my life.  I would be lost without you.

Love, Kristen

Week 13 & 14 of 52 WoA

Yikes! I’m behind!  I already have Week 15 all ready to go!  Whoops!

Week 13 was just that. Food.  I struggled with this one.  I didn’t know what to put.  Then my mom started making blueberry muffins, and well folks. The rest is history.

Week 14 – Flashed.  Aka: Artificial Light!!! This was fun! I had some ideas and I really do love how they turned out.  Who would have thought head lights from a mini-van would make for some fun photos!?

Week 12. Household Item (52 WoA)

So week 12 came and went.  The theme was household item.  I wanted to get my creative juices flowing again but just couldn’t think of anything to take a photo of that would scream awesome.

Until this happened:

In one of the guest bathrooms at my parents house sits this lovely little night light.  It turns on when you shut the light off and turns off when the light is on. Cleaver.  (It’s the little things) Oh and did I mention it’s in the shape of a moose?! You see my mom collects moose.  It’s border line obsessive, but they are so stinkin’ cute.

This moose is glowing and I love this photo.  Probably my favorite so far.

Up next this week – Food.  Yeah.  We could have a LOT of fun with this one!! :)
