This Project 365 is finally getting easier! I felt little inspiration this week, but still managed to complete my daily assignments thanks to this being a habit now. Each night before going to bed I mentally catalog what is happening the next day and what could possibly be worth taking a photo of. It doesn’t necessary mean that we have anything exciting or milestone-oriented going on, just something that might be slightly out of the ordinary that makes that particular day unique. This has helped me a lot. Now the bigger challenge has been keeping up the editing of the photos and sitting down once a week to plug through it all.
I am thankful to this Project 365 for giving me a creative outlet outside of being a Ft. Worth newborn photographer and Fort Worth baby photographer. I LOVE my job, but it definitely helps to use my camera in different ways and in different scenarios so I can stay on my toes. You might notice this week that many of my images were taken with a fisheye lens. There is no particular reason other than that’s what I happened to have on my camera at the time so I decided to go with it. If you want to learn more about fisheye leneses, or any of the lenses in my camera bag, check out my “What’s in my Camera Bag” post from last year. Here’s my Week 6!
33/366: Ye olde truck. My husband working on his 18 year old truck. We have a mostly loving relationship with the truck, as it’s been paid off for our whole marriage and it’s actually part of our own love story. My husband intended to propose outside at the LSU lakes, but it was a rainy evening and he ended up popping the question in this very truck, so that makes it very special to both of us. Of course, being 18 years old means that the truck regularly needs TLC. My husband likes to fuss and grumble a lot during these maintenance moments, but then later on he will pontificate on the greatness of his truck and how he wants to keep it forever and ever amen. I definitely thought he deserved a photo with his other love.
34/366: Our first fur baby, Rufus. Rufus is 9 years old now, and since I already had the upstairs studio setup from a shoot earlier in the day I thought I’d give him his photo moment in the sun. I did a similar photo with our other dog, Bailey, a few months ago which you can view here. This way I can have matching photos of them to display someplace in the house. Rufus is the more cantankerous of our pups, so convincing him to sit still for a photo op was an experience.
35/366: Holden at basketball practice. Most of basketball practice for his age group involves running up and down the court, and he loves being wild and free.
36/366: Fridge.
37/366: Magnatiles, one of my son’s favorite toys. He uses these magnetic blocks to build all sorts of imaginative things, including space ships, towers and rainforests.
38/366: Superbowl Sunday. My sister, Lindsey, came over and made some brownies with Holden.
39/366: Holden loves practicing in his Paw Patrol workbook. Based on his birthday his school will likely track him into transitional kindergarten next year (basically like pre-K but upped a notch). We have been doing a lot of workbook practice and learning games to make sure he is ready for his assessment.
