Moments with... Bicycles. Oct 1, 2011.

I follow a few different photography blogs out there. And one I am liking more and more is http://thesemomentsblog.wordpress.com/ I have had a few pictures recently featured including these. But what I really love is their weekly installment of guest photographers writing a post about what inspires them. To me one of the most interesting things about photography is that everyone is an individual. And what they "see," and what matters to them, comes out in their photography. Different interpretations of similar subject matter, and just seeing something interesting where I never stopped to take a look is fascinating to me. It keeps me going to know that everyone has new and different ideas. Each person's images say something about them as an individual. And the variety of interesting pictures is endless. As are people themselves. I encourage you to keep taking pictures and share them!

Isn't she lovely?

Mother, wife, and photographer extraordinaire. She is such a lovely friend too. ;)

Ollie

I did a little mini shoot with my son the other day. He is at the stage where it is so fun to take his pictures. He is cooperative, and natural, and cute as a button too. ;)

Rainy Day

I was challenged to try a new technique and I struggled to figure it out at first. But now that I am getting the hang of it... I am obsessed. The possibilities!!!

Motherhood

A photographer friend of mine and I have planned many a shoot together than just never panned out. But for her newborn baby we finally made it happen. And with these results I am glad we did! Hope you enjoy.

New Subject

I am in a rut. I have taken lots of pictures of kids (which are admittedly my favorite subject) but I think it's time to capture some different things. Maybe something will get me motivated again... What are your favorite subjects? What inspires you to get out the camera and capture a moment? I'd love to hear what inspires you...

Here is a picture I took just minutes before they started wrestling and the little one ended up in the ER for facial lacerations. It was an accident but of course I enjoy this kind of moment more than the latter. "These moments" blog has featured it on "these moment's monday."
