When this sweet girl walked into the studio she asked if we get to pretend she and her mom are princesses for their session. Who am I to deny her of any princess opportunities 😉 I can not wait for my dear friend to deliver her baby soon and I know this darling girl is going to be a wonderful big sister <3 Such a gorgeous set of ladies and I know dad and brother are very lucky to have them. I am anxiously awaiting to see what new baby brings <3
‘Impressions‘ is a creative project by an eclectic group of female photographers from around the globe. We aim to share the inspiration behind what we do through our bi-monthly posts.
Every other month, we will be sharing 8 images that tell the story of what inspired us in the previous weeks: our families, nature, weather, or maybe even work itself! We are free to explore the meaning of ‘impressions’, and it is likely to change month to month.
During one of our recent and minimal snowfall’s I decided to photograph how much I LOVE the delicate flakes on the spruce. So so pretty. We have had a pretty mild winter with very minimal snow and temperatures all over the map! So I also had a chance to photograph early creek thaw’s. I love the edge where frozen meets the running water. My oldest will be 6 next month so I had to throw one in of her. I plan to document an image a day of her last month of being 5!! So here she is wearing my headband, she already loves borrowing my accessories, carefree in the snow flipping her lovely curls about her face. I adore her <3
I hope you enjoyed this months personal project head on over to my wonderful friend Antonina Mamzenko’s blog http://www.mamzenko.com/impressions-january-february-personal-project/ and view her lovely post. Keep clicking through the circle until you land back here <3
I love the nighttime reading sessions. I love that she enjoys reading to her sister even if she makes up stories as she goes <3
Sappy post warning! Six. It sounds so old! I thought five sounded old too. In less than a month my oldest will be six. Six. It is a total cliche that time flies, but it sure does! She brings so much joy and spirit into my life. I am so blessed to be her mom and share this adventure with her. I am grateful for every single day. In the not too distant future she will will be spreading her wings and having her own adventures and I can’t even imagine the heart break mixed with pride that I am going to feel. So for now I will collect every moment and cherish every memory shared with her.
I plan on taking a photo a day of her for the last month she is 5. I am a little behind so today is a collection of spirited images. There is something so liberating and freeing about hair whipping or shaking. It’s like twirling. You can feel the wind and the movement and it is just about you being you. I love her curls. Her has never been cut and has always had side swoop with the bangs after her baby mullet grew out 😉 I love her lashes and how her eyes are less green version of mine <3 I love how her heart, her kindness, and her spirit just radiates around her <3
In December I purchased a pretty awesome app for my ipad that does wall display layouts. I haven’t had a chance to play around with it until recently. It is pretty addicting! I just used the most recent images from my girls studio session as an example. It comes with stock room images however I can also take images from the rooms in my home or rooms in your home to get a good idea of how they will look and what sizes would work best. There is a framed option for standard framing as well as unframed which would be similar to canvas displays. I am researching similar options for the Organic Bloom frames.
Here are the samples I had fun playing with and I will also show sizes as reference. I will definitely be doing this frequently as samples and as part of the In Person Ordering Appointment. I am more than happy to help you choose creative and unique displays when your order your wall displays through LMP. I have spent a few months researching new products and vendors to offer and I am sooooo excited for all new studio fabulousness LMP has for 2015!
So hard to choose my favorite of these!
Image one is: 30×20 with three 10X8’s
Image two is: 17×11 and two 12×8’s
Image three is: 30X20, 16×24, and 12×24
Image four is: two 16×20’s, 32×20, three 10×10’s
As fulfilling as my photography journey has been on a personal level, I have also had the opportunity to “meet” some truly remarkable people both in person and online that have made my heart swell. This fall I had the pleasure and honor of meeting Barb Uil of Jinky Art which was an absolute dream come true. She changed my life and my business! She has also created a community of photographers that is simply amazing. Feel free to browse the links below!
Of course every post needs an image 😉 It has been a very strange winter here. Unseasonable warm then cold with little snow and lots of ice. Luckily the sun has finally returned to us! We have enjoyed playing in the studio and here is my little princess on her throne <3
