splash…

yes…

I got a box of Click Magazines today. I have a two page spread in this month's issue. I love print. I love seeing my work in print obviously but mostly I miss the days where every magazine can to your mailbox and you sat down and turned the actual pages with your fingers. I love that this publication comes to my mailbox at a very affordable price.

This is the only image I took today. Somedays you feel this project and somedays you don't…but I took one so this counts right? Kudos to those who do product photography well. Clearly, I am not one of you. :)

sisters…

These love these two have for each other melts me…

sprawled out…

sand sledding…

We went on a little day trip to the middle of nowhere Utah to see these amazing sand dunes…lots and lots of fun! #allfourinoneframe

fresh air and room to breathe…

me and my girls…

I am participating in a project with a group of other photographers called "wherever I am with you". Once a month we get in the frame with our children…to make a record of us instead of just them. Here is my image taken last night in the last slivers of light at the park…

a game of 2 on 1

summer attire…

Pretty much anything goes these days as far as what we wear. She packed her things and dressed herself to head over to a kiddie pool party across the street. Note to self: if you can't find the other match to a shoe, just wing it and improvise. I could learn a thing or two from this gal…

classic summer fun…

water bokeh beauty…

butterfly necklace..

No one at our house is quite sure where this necklace came from. I certainly did not buy it but she has latched onto it. She won't take it off…not for bed or bath. It makes me smile! It's her "fancy, golden, butterfly necklace".

besties, bike rides, & laughter

the little things in life like bike rides and laughing, really are the big things…

tiny hands…

playground graffiti..

The graffiti on this playground window kind of made me laugh…at least it's fairly innocent I guess…potty humor at it's finest.

bike ride….

I probably shouldn't ride a bike and shoot at the same time but I found myself doing that today….it's harder than I imagined to do actually. :)

the purple hippo..

This is the beginning to the third year in the life of the purple hippo floaty that this girl loves so much. I'm not going to lie, I have a fear she may not survive the summer…and this little gal will be devastated.

dappled light goodness…

the boys will be boys…

Well this is more than one picture for yesterday…and that's okay. It's hard for me to get the firstborn in images so maybe this will make up for the lack of his presence in this project.

hoop it up…

classic summertime activity…
