Back where I come from: The Clines So, as many of you know, I have a family of photographers. My sister, dad and I (and actually my brother now too!) share the love. One thing that means is that once a year while the Lanier extension of the Jones family is back home in Memphis, we …
The “S” Family Portraits at the Davis General Store I got to meet this family for the first time this past year. I was pretty excited right off the bat that they chose the location they did. A friend helped me discover this place last year and it sort of became my own little outdoor …
A Different Charlotte Preschool Portrait Experience Hello again friends! I just realized that I never posted any images from my preschool portrait sessions this past year! This was the first time I’ve done something like this and I have to say… it was so much fun! The kids just seemed so much more comfortable outside …
I don’t know about you, but I have made just a few resolutions over these first 7 days of 2014. Some are abstract ideas… really just general reminders to myself to be a better friend, wife, mom, sister, daughter, etc. I’m going to go to the gym more, but “more” will be a very easy task to accomplish compared to where I’m coming from in 2013, I have to tell ya!
Then comes the focus of this post. I have a confession to make… one that I think many other photographers (or people) with children can relate to… I am AWFUL about making the time to take pictures of my own kids! Okay… let me re-phrase that… I am awful about making the time to take pictures of my own kids WITH AN ACTUAL CAMERA (a.k.a. not my iPhone). Now, I’m not complaining… I love the fact that it’s always there for me in a pinch, but I don’t want the years to go by without having some decent pictures of my kids living life.
SOOO, one of my 2014 and beyond resolutions is to get out my camera…. not just on special occasions, but on normal days… when we’re just having fun at the house (when it’s almost too cold to even step a toe outside like today) or at the park while the girls are chasing each other around the playground.
This was the first week, and I have to say that I already am confident that I’m going to keep this particular resolution. Just by the smile it puts on my face today… I can only imagine looking back at images like this 10, 20, 30 years down the road. Love these two little bugs…
I’m in love with these newly found piggies…
Showing off her tattoo… oh, and that sweet face! 🙂
Oh, how I am a sucker for those big sweet eyes…
And that smile!
Oh, and this little cheeser too. 🙂
