52 on Friday 9/52 | Portland, Oregon Family Photographer

March 4, 2011

Every week, I feel more grateful for this project. Its 52 on Friday, week nine. This week the theme is Family. They boys and I made a quick mid week trip up to visit my parents. I’ve been wanting to photograph them in their space for a while, its been quite a while since I have. Its one of the many projects I wanted to pursue this spring. Sam’s sitting in the same place I used to every now and then when I was small – getting dirty, cuddling with my mom and watching a new form begin to take shape in front of me. There are 19 other photographers working together on this project each week, the link at the bottom will take you to someone new and you can follow the whole set right back here. Happy Friday!Past weeks for the 52 on Friday have been Fashion, Innocence ,Love, Shoes, Simple, Joy, Black and White and Self Portrait

52 on Friday 8/52 | Portland Child Photographer

February 25, 2011

Its friday and its week 7 of the 52 on Friday project. This week, the theme was fashion, and it was definitely tougher for me than what we’ve shot so far for these weeks. I’m always so inspired by fashion photography, and often pull bits and pieces from my favorite shoots into my session. But, I’m dedicated to working with the boys each Friday because I often photograph them and the images sleep on my hard drives. Using them for each theme is going to be a challenge, but I’m loving have a project with them each week. I’ve posted some more images from this session in the post below this one. This week may not necessarily fit fashion to a T, but it was a fun dreamy shoot with the boys, so I’m happy for the challenge to stretch creatively!

Past weeks for the 52 on Friday have been Innocence ,Love, Shoes, Simple, Joy, Black and White and Self Portrait

52 on Friday 7/52 | Little Rock Children’s Photographer

February 18, 2011

Its Friday and I’m back with week 7 of the 52 on Friday project. And guess what? This post makes my 300th post on this blog! Wow! I was surprised when I saw that!

This week the theme is innocence. This tiny baby of mine just turned 5 and I love this age with him. He surprised me one morning this week by dressing himself, including picking out the clothes, this is a very rare occurrence here as both boys see no point in changing from pajamas to clothes each day. I’m so ready to be working outside in the sunshine again and since its been springlike all week, we headed out, crazy hair and all. His hair in the dancing with the guitar series makes me think of the Aldous Snow character from the movie Get Him to the Greek. Ha! Everytime I look and these I giggle about it. The little guitar was a Christmas gift and its been a huge hit in our house. They call it the rocking guitar, regardless of the very decidedly western motif.

He’s in this great place, and each day is an adventure for him. I asked him a few questions, they’ve had these types of projects at school before and I’ve tucked away the answers from 3 and 4. So innocent and sweet, and sometimes funny!

Q: What do you want to be when you grow up?

A: Ummm, a grown-up! And a garbage truck man.

Q: What is something that you are really good at? Side note, this answer was without any hesitation. I’m very curious to hear him do this, thus far this has been a secret talent of his.

A: Speaking chinese.

Q: What makes you happy?

A: Playing outside, going to school

Q: What goes on at kindergarten?

A: I’ll play on the playground, find new books and see what they say.

Next, head over to St. Louis Photographer, Sara Tegman to see the next 52 on Friday project!

Its Friday already and its week 4 of the 52 on Friday series. This week the theme was shoes. These shoes of Gabe’s are some of his favorites. They are Super Grover shoes and they’ve been a big hit. So much that we are now on our second pair of them! I was just going to photograph his little stance and his grover like legs in his skinny jeans but then he started jumping. He can jump

…as high as a rabbit!

…as high as a kangaroo!

…as high as a frog!

All of those are his terms of awesomeness and I love his little Grover legs and shoes. If you want to look back at some of the other themes I’ve photographed, click 52 on Friday under the categories button above. Below you’ll see the link to the next photographer in the chain. Happy Friday!
