Day 10

 

Unfortunately the weather didn’t cooperate with my ideas for todays inspiration. The only pic I took was a blurry one of my puppy. So instead of skipping a day or stressing out about it, I though I’d share some incredible pictures I’ve stumbled across on Pinterest (please go to my pinterest page to see the original posts about the pictures below)

 

I have a whole section on pinterest just for photography I find inspiring. Anytime I have a shoot, I go through it to get my creative photography juices flowing :)

Happy Clicking!

A little Catching up… Day 6-9

 

Day 6:

PHOTOGRAPH framed by a doorway.
a person |  an open space | a view

I did a Photo Shoot with the *L* Family in November at this same spot. Since then its burned down, almost completely :( I was hoping to get some interesting shots through the doorway, into the open fields beyond, but I still find this picture quite compelling.

Day 7:

PHOTOGRAPH one little word.
yours | in tiles | in a book

I’m getting married soon (small private ceremony this month and bigger Celebration/party later this year) so 2012 is all about Love!

Day 8:

PHOTOGRAPH flakes.
snow | cereal | parts or pieces

Living in Texas, this is about as close to snow flakes as I’ll get… unless there is a freak storm like last year. I kind of hope that there will be… just so I can get some pretty pictures! :)

Day 9:

PHOTOGRAPH brisk.
energetic | quick | stimulating

This is Scoot. He follows me pretty much everywhere. He is also by far the most energetic thing in this house :) It was quite rainy today, so we’ve been playing a lot of fetch.

Day 5

 

Today’s inspiration :

PHOTOGRAPH resolve.
to determine | to transform | to commit

 

The top thing on my list of resolutions for 2012 is to get more organized so I can stay on top of the things that I need to take care of (house, budget, health etc.) So I purchased a organizer/agenda in pdf format… there sure are a lot of pages…

*taken with my iPhone*

Can’t to get this into its binder and get things sorted out :)

Day 4

 

I have to say… I am loving this 365+1 project! So far it hasn’t seemed like a “burden” and I am finding that I am discovering new things to photograph and being challenged to change perspectives :)

 

Today’s Inspiration :

PHOTOGRAPH with a wide aperture.
the flower mode | a small f/ number | a blurred background

 

I was laying under one of the trees in the backyard, looking up and simply thinking, taking the occasional picture when one of the neighbors horse came to check out what I was doing. I already had my Nikon set to a 5 f/stop, so all I had to do was click :)

As I was walking back into the house, I looked up and saw the Moon beginning to come out… I couldn’t resist :)

Day 3

 

Today’s inspiration…

PHOTOGRAPH a fresh perspective.
a view | an outlook | a fruit or vegetable

I went the fruit route… since there was a handy dandy apple on the counter and headed outside :)

I have a few favorite spots in my backyard for taking pictures. The first being the split rail fence between the neighbors yard and ours, and the second is 2 trees in the back corner. I waited just a little to long to get the best lighting, but they still turned out pretty good.

 

To mix it up a bit I went for a different perspective, which was part of today’s inspiration :) And yes I got down and *Dirty* with my apple… and my grey pants have the grass stains to prove it! If only we had snow here… I can just picture the snow covered ground with the apple…….

Then again I’m loving my 60+ degree winter. It’s a nice change for this northern girl!

Day 2!

 

Woo Hoo! I’m on a roll :) Posting 2 days in a row! Yay me!

Today’s inspiration is …

PHOTOGRAPH ring it in.
tradition | looking forward | resolutions

At the very Top of my list of Resolution list is “working on being a healthier me” and that means EXERCISE… Booooo!!!

So this little man is going to be my walking buddy :)

He doesn’t exactly sit still… EVER… so his nose is a bit blurry :s

 
(taken with my iPhone)

He’s the newest member of our family, and such a cutie (when he’s not trying to steal Mule’s tooth picks *weirdo*).

It’s a New Year!

 

I know I haven’t posted in a while, and even before then I didn’t post much, but I am planning on changing that this year :)

I am participating in the 365+1 Photo Challenge

The goal is to take at least 1 picture a day and share it. Now I can’t promise that I’ll take a picture every day or that I’ll post them daily, but I will try!  And I might now always use the provide inspiration, I might use photos I take of clients or on my adventures with Mule. But if I miss a day or two I’ll try and catch up :)

Here is day 1:

PHOTOGRAPH 12.
a street address | written down | on a calendar

Mule got me this calendar for Christmas… I am kind of obsessed with Tinkerbelle :)

 

Over the next couple weeks and months I am going to putting in some concentrated effort into developing a client base in my new home town. I’ll be offering discounted sessions, so hopefully I’ll have some new people to to “show" off” soon!

Happy New Year!
