Through the Lens Thursday: Candy

It’s Valentines week, and I recently introduced my kids to Swedish Fish, so…. Happy Valentine’s Day, friends!   Through The Lens Thursday is a self-improvement photography project that Alison of Writing, Wishing and I are doing this year (again!). Don’t forget to join our Flickr group or share […]

Through the Lens Thursday 2015!

At the beginning of this year, I wrote this: I want to be confident each time I pick up my Nikon, and use my brand new Lightroom software to edit smartly, thoughtfully, easily. In 2014, I want to be better at photography. I want to pick up my camera and […]

Through the Lens Thursday: Loud

I told the kids that they could yell and scream this week, specifically for this prompt, and I think the results show a little bit of the chaos that is our house. And this is totally fuzzy, but I love it because basically, this is my […]

Through The Lens Thursday: Sparkle

As you’re reading this, I’m probably in California at ShiftCon. I’m writing this Tuesday night, and have a lot to do before I leave Wednesday morning, so this is going to be short. There’s a lot of sparkle in this house, so it wasn’t hard to find something to shoot. […]

Through The Lens Thursday: Tall

Before I get into this week’s prompt, I just wanted to make sure that everyone knew my co-TTLTer’s news…Alison had her babies! She delivered her twins this week at 34 weeks, and they’re doing great. Still in the NICU but growing and feeding and getting stronger every day. Go show […]

Through The Lens Thursday: Cozy

“Cozy” during the summer is “Cold From Air-Conditioning”

Or Sick.

I like the picture of the girls because it’s kind of three layers….their “audience” of the Furbie and the Talking Penguin thing, then the girls snuggled up together, and finally, the leftover birthday balloons in the window (one of which you can […]

Through the Lens Thursday: Street

We live just off a rural highway. We have a false sense of secrecy, almost, with the canopy of leaves and trees.

We hear birds chirping and farm equipment rumbling as often as we hear the cars go by.

Though the sense of alone-ness is vague and all-encompassing, the sense of danger […]

Through The Lens Thursday: Empty

I drive the road to my kids’ school twice a day, past a lot of fields and this old barn. I’ve taken pictures of it several times with my phone. I don’t know why I love it so much….but I especially love it when there are birds sitting on top […]

Through The Lens Thursday: Together

Or, as they toddler says “too-gedduh”.

I made some gluten free popcorn party mix for the girls’ Easter parties at school tomorrow. (It’s super easy, but if you want the recipe, check it out on Today’s Work At Home Mom…and feel free to take a look around while you’re there).

Food photography […]

Through The Lens Thursday: Door

This kid. He’ll be THREE in a matter of days. The baby. The big boy! He’s always on the move, so I tried to capture that this week. Plus, it was really sunny out, and it’s hard for me to get the settings right, so I needed some practice there, […]
