52 wednesdays – week 4 – emotion

this week’s assignment is emotion.  this shot of my little man and my sister in law CRACKS my sh#@ up.

she was scooping him up with tickles and he thought it was THE funniest game on earth.  she’s pretty ripped to, eh?  jealous!

So cute. Love the colors, emotion, perspective. Lucky for him to have a fun auntie.

fine art elevate

determined to see beauty anywhere i can find it.

it’s the middle of winter, all of my beautiful plants are long dead, grass is dry but this little monster pushes on.  can’t we please find a plant as tough as a weed that is easy on the eyes?

see where Tabitha Patrick, Port Huron Michigan Photographer, finds beauty by visiting her blog here.

52 wednesdays – week 3 – bokeh

still playing with the lensbaby.  not confident enough to get crazy with it just yet so i’m just testing it out for personal projects:)

after you peruse my bokeh images head on over and see Megan McGee – Chattanooga,TN Senior Photographer - http://www.meganmcgeephotography.com/blog/2012/01/25/52-on-wednesdays-week-3-bokeh/

Kate - January 25, 2012 - 12:26 pm

Laurie Schultz - January 25, 2012 - 12:35 pm

I love that last picture with the car. Really cool shots!

lauren martin gauthier - January 25, 2012 - 1:01 pm

i’m also a sucker for the final shot! (although i also liked the previous one…because if i’m making it out correctly, your son and my newborn nephew share the same name <3 )

Sarah Phillips - January 25, 2012 - 2:37 pm

Lens baby composers are tricky. But you created some great bokeh with it! Love the shapes!

amy - January 25, 2012 - 5:59 pm

these are really magical, creative, and warm…fine art is your medium. i cannot wait to see the beauty you capture with the lensbaby. you’ve inspired me to put purchasing one on top of my wish list. beautiful, jessica.

Traca - January 25, 2012 - 7:35 pm

What creative fun! I have been playing with freelensing lately and got some images similar to this, but I didn’t think about using the lights for fun bokeh!

Marla - January 25, 2012 - 10:51 pm

I know it takes a lot of practice, but I really want a lensbaby composer! Thanks for sharing, these are great.

elaine - January 26, 2012 - 1:44 am

Hi! Just bought the lensbaby as well and finding my groove with it. Looks like you have! Love what you are creating.

2 years old!

crazy. but little man is officially 2 years old today.  and RIGHT on cue – tantrums and terrible twos have arrived.  i’m not gonna lie – i’m gonna need to harness my inner zen for this phase.  i hope it doesn’t last too long.  it helps that he’s super cute.

he actually helped me bake his birthday cupcakes.  we made a batch for him to take to school to share with his friends! he was so excited.  the whole drive to school today he kept saying “i give friends cupcakes!”  he is such a good sharer.  swoon!!!!
