This was a fun one of Lily a few months ago. I was taking portraits of her and she wanted me to take one of her flower instead. The angle makes it almost look like I just photoshopped a flower on top of the portrait. It was shot at 50mm at 3.5 so the whole flower was in focus… and being so close up she obviously wasn’t in focus at all! Turned out to be a fun picture.
Ok so it took me until May to be late on my 12-12-12 project…. Two days late! But now I can share some photos I took yesterday on Mother’s Day!

Month after month I see so many photographers submit photos to Rock the Shot and for some reason I haven’t yet entered! When I saw the theme Water this month I immediately thought of this photo of Lily I took at the beach a couple months back. She had just gotten a brand new pair of pretty pants but REALLLY wanted to play in the water. She was trying not to get them wet and failed, but she sure did have a lot of fun playing and staring out at the ocean.
The 12th crept up on me this month. Luckily we went out yesterday with some friends to get some frozen yogurt and brought our cameras with us. I think the people working must have thought we were a little crazy! Lily said she wanted “double chocolate” and I think she got her wish. Alex just enjoyed walking around with his pals. When you’re done check out my friend Jenn’s 12/12/12 project at Sweet Pea Pictures.

We’re busy with sessions again after taking a break for a couple months. But seeing my last 12-12-12 post as the last entry really reminds me that I am behind in blog posts. I will be sharing many more fun recent images before the 12-12-12 April post for sure!
Anyway, I took these photos a couple weeks ago when we went to the beach with some friends in the late afternoon. They are of course of my favorite subject, my kids! I just tried to let them have a good time (and kept Alex from crawling away into the ocean).
You can also check out my friend Jenn’s blog at Sweet Pea Pictures. She’s also doing 12-12-12.
