January 11, 2015

It took me a while to decide if I would try any photo projects for 2015.  I thought about doing another 365 using only my DSLR, but it was already a few days in to January and if I’m going to do that again I want to do it well, without missing days.  Then I thought about a weekly family photo.  But I thought that might prove to be too much of a chore, not enjoyable for every member of the family, and would get real old real fast.  So I decided to post once a week with at least one photo taken with my DSLR.  I use it all the time to take pictures of food for Hottie Biscotti, but haven’t used it nearly enough to take pictures of the kids.  I almost always use my iphone for that.  So this will have to do for the first week of January, even though it’s been almost 2 weeks!

I’m not too great at taking kid photos, especially inside.  Lighting is hard.  And that’s one of the reasons I wanted to do this project.  I needed something that would force me to get better.  Hopefully I’ll be able to see a big difference between these and the ones to come in December!

Please excuse the jaundice-like skin of the kids here.  I should have put them all in black and white!

Don’t judge me for taking these photos of Betsy.  I assure you she was dramatizing the situation.

  1. Great pictures! Glad your doing another project. I enjoy following along;)

    Also, Nathan was acting really sad and mopey yesterday and I asked him what was wrong. He said, “I just really wish Carson could come to my birthday party.” Random but sweet!
