Day 31

WOW! 1 month down! I am SO excited! I am 1/12 of the way through this project...wait. That doesn't seem so good. At least it's better than nothing!
Thanks for everyone who has been encouraging, and helping me with this project.
Ever feel like you are trapped?
Some days I feel like it, and I can't get out.
I have felt like that lately.
But just like this door I am behind, I think some things are opening up.
We'll see.

Enjoy :-)

Day 30

Ever have days where you want to hide?
Today was one of those days.
I wanted to hide, and not come out for a bit.
My son was being, well, a son.
I am tired.
And, yeah.
So, every once and a while, you need to just hide.

Enjoy :-)

Day 29

I couldn't really think of anything to do for today's picture. So this is what you get. This is me right now. Lot's on my mind.

Enjoy :-)

Day 28

This is the WONDERFUL woman I am staying with for a few days!
She is my Great Grandmother. She is 97 years old and lives with my grandparents.
My grandparents are out of town for a few days, so I get to spend some time with her!
She is a blast.
She is my favorite Great Grandma (SO hard when you only have one living :-))
And don't tell anyone, but I'm her favorite great grand-daughter. :-)

Ok, maybe not. But I can pretend. :-)

Enjoy! ;-)

Oh, and does anyone else agree with me that I need to cut my bangs again? They are getting kind of long, and are just...there. Hmmm...

Day 27

For the next few days I will be at my grandparent's house.
I love my grandparents house.
It's always been my second home.
I lived with my grandparents for a year when I graduated High School.
I will always remember that year. They helped me through a lot, even stuff they don't realize they did.
But me, my mom, my aunt and Bubba will be taking care of my great grandma this weekend.
It's bound to be fun. :-)

Enjoy :-)

Day 26

Today has been an ok day.
Just working, and hanging out.
Good news, and bad news.
But hey, I don't think you can win every day. Such is life. It came out about even.
I have a feeling you are going to see a lot of my little boy in here as well. He likes having his picture taken now, but it's usually only for a brief second.
This time, he posed for it.
I'm teaching him well. :-)

Enjoy :-)

Day 25

I love to chew gum.
But you want to know what happens when you chew three things of Double Bubble?
Your jaw hurts at the end.
Bubba LOVES me blowing bubbles.
He tries to eat the bubbles while I blow them. :-)

I really like the subdued look I've been doing. Hmmm..
editing process might be changing soon...

Enjoy :-)

Day 24

I was laying down to take a nap.
I looked at the wall, and the the window in the picture frame hanging on the wall.
I didn't take that nap.
I set it all up to get my reflection in that picture frame.
Love it.

Enjoy :-)

Day 23

For those that don't know,
I wear glasses.
Not a huge fan of them. So I only wear them at night.
And by night, I mean 5 minutes before I go to bed.
This could be because my little recently BROKE my glasses.
One day I will get laser eye surgery.
One day.
Either that, or I will get glasses that I really like to wear! Because I LOVE the way glasses look on other people!
Either way. Here's today's picture.

Enjoy :-)

Day 22

THIS is a piece of Heaven to me.
Pure. Heaven.
I have my baby who means the WORLD to me on my lap.
And a thing of frosting.
Frosting with sprinkles to be exact
Can you tell he enjoys it almost as much as I do?

Almost.



Enjoy :-)

Day 21

I have a confession to make. I am a sucker for tanning. Don't get me wrong, I don't do it every week, or even every month. But I do it occasionally.
More so during the winter.
Nothing like laying on a WARM bed when it is freezing cold outside.
Anyway. My sister wanted to go this week, and I agreed to go with her (she of course pays for me to go along, just so she can have my company. Haha) And since we started doing this, I have had a sun. It's the closest that I dare to get to a tattoo. But it's my sun, because I love the sun and warmth. So here is a picture of my tanning tattoo. Enjoy. :-)

Enjoy. :-)

And I promise that I will try to make these more photographically challenging. (Is that the correct term? Hmm..)
But I have 365 days to play around with.

Day 20

I have now finished Day 20 of 365. WOO HOO!! 345 left! How exciting! Today I got ready to go to the SmugMug meeting in Salt Lake. I actually GOT ready..so why not take a picture of me to document the occasion. :-) I made my brother follow me around and take my pictures. I'm an awful older sister. :-) Anyway, enjoy. And thanks to the meeting tonight, I actually have a couple of ideas as to what will be my next few photos. Muhahahaha.

Enjoy. ;-)

Day 19

Today was very WARM . SOOO much warmer than the last lot of days. Haha. And thanks to the WONDERFUL Kelli Bramble, she gave me the idea for today's photo. I wore flip flops all day. Out shopping, out swimming, EVERY time I went out. I wore flip flops. I absolutely adore flip flops. They would be my only shoe if I could get away with it. :-) So, Kelli and everyone else, Enjoy. ;)

Muahaha. Yes I'm crazy. :-)

Monday, January 18, 2010

Day 18

I'm going to need to get my creative juices flowing. I am starting to run out. I have so many ideas to do, but most of them won't work until it is warmer outside! Hopefully it warms up soon. On my right hand there was some mud from helping my sister mud her room. My hubby asked me if I was trying to punch something. Apparently, if I am, I am going about it ALL wrong. So, lesson to learn. Don't punch like me. :-)

Enjoy. :-)

Sunday, January 17, 2010

Day 17

WOW! I am actually getting this up before midnight! Haha. And please don't try to explain the inner workings of my mind..I've tried.
It doesn't work.
So enjoy today's picture of my hand puppet. And please know that my son will find it hilarious :-)

Enjoy :-)

Saturday, January 16, 2010

Day 16

We are already done with half of the first month! Is that a good thing? 11.5 more to go!
There really isn't a story behind this one. Just the inner workings of my mind coming out. I always wear a towel around my head after I shower. And when I shower at night, it stays on until I go to bed. Why? I have no idea. But it does. So...yeah. Enjoy.

Friday, January 15, 2010

Day 15

I am having way too much fun with the Macro tubes. They are still kind of hard to get used to, but I guess that's why I want to play around with them! This is the bracelet that stays on my left arm every day. My sister made it for me, and it inspired my colors for my business. I never really thought about these colors until we got our little boy, then I seemed to fall in LOVE with them! So, this is my inspiration. I am making my sister make me more of these for when this one falls apart. Haha.
Enjoy!

I love how shallow the DOF is. We are talking mm at f1.8. Again, LOVE IT, but it is HARD to work with! And I am not sure what is going on in the bottom left corner. Looks like a reflection, but not sure where from...Anyway.

Thursday, January 14, 2010

Day 14

Yeah, you are probably going to see pictures of my face a lot too. Sorry for anyone who doesn't want to see it. But wait..it is a blog for 365 photos of myself isn't it..oh well. You're loss. It has been taking longer to get the photos up, because I am having issues uploading to blogger again. But I think I have found a way to do it, I just have to remember it.
And I thought I would throw in b&w. No special story for today. It's just me. :-)
Enjoy :-)

Wednesday, January 13, 2010

Day 13

Ok, You guys are going to think that I am in love with my feet. Haha. But here is another foot picture. Playing with the silhouette of my foot to be exact. Growing up, I really didn't like my feet. They were too big. But, I have grown to love them. They are unique. And for some reason, I have become attached to them. :-) SO, Enjoy. :-)

Tuesday, January 12, 2010

Day 12

I haven't had any energy to really do a picture today. Just been feeling kind of sick. So, we were bowling on the Wii, and I decided to show you Mii. So there you have it. Enjoy. :-)

And YES I won this game of bowling. I got me some mad skillz. :-)

Monday, January 11, 2010

Day 11

Again, playing with the macro tubes. I think I might just have to get me a set of these....

I never realized the detail in the eye until I got looking at this picture. WOW! I am going to try this again tomorrow hopefully outside with more light so I don't have the reflection of the flash. But it was fun to try either way! Enjoy!

Sunday, January 10, 2010

Day 10

I was playing around with my dad's macro tubes today. I had goosebumps ALL morning and early afternoon. I thought it would be cool to try and get a picture of the goosebumps, but when I pulled out my camera, they were gone, and we couldn't get them to come back. And trust me, we tried EVERYTHING. So I played around with the tubes. Here is a picture of my wedding ring. It is on my finger in this picture. I am love my hubby SO much, and I am glad that I can look at my ring and think of him. So here is my picture for today. Enjoy! :-)

Saturday, January 9, 2010

Day 9

I have become obsessed with the Wii Fit. And I really don't do it right, because I will sit and eat cookies while using it. Haha. Oh well. So this is me getting ready to play. I really LOVE the Wii, and you will probably see more pictures of it. Enjoy. :-)

Friday, January 8, 2010

Day 8

Legos. That's all I have to say about this photo. I have a boy, what more can I say?


(He dumped them on my feet. *Ding* there's my picture. Haha. Enjoy)

Thursday, January 7, 2010

Day 7

Wow. I have now officially done this for a week now! Hot dang! Today, I am just going to do the traditional taking a photo in a mirror. I know it's nothing super fancy, or new, or "out there" but if you are doing 365 pictures, you're going to have to cover some of the basics. ;-) So here you are. And thank you so much to everyone who has started following me! It gives me motivation to keep going. :-) And comments are always awesome. *wink* Enjoy!

Wednesday, January 6, 2010

Day 6

I have decided that I am going to try and take pictures that reflect what has happened during the day. Something I may want to remember later on down the road.
SO, the story behind today's picture is my son. He is probably going to be the story behind a LOT of my pictures. But today, he got a hold of a squirt bottle. He likes to squirt himself in the face, and will come and hand you the squirt bottle and have you squirt him in the face. Odd one. So he ended up DRENCHING himself because he just kept squirting himself in the face.
So, that is the story behind this picture. Enjoy. :-)

Tuesday, January 5, 2010

Day 5

Yeah, so I decided that this is going to be harder than I thought. Not necessarily the choosing what photo to take, but getting up the motivation to take one. Especially on bad days. Days where I just want to curl up in bed and sleep the day away. I feel like I have been on a roller coaster today. Sucks. But anyway, I took one for your viewing pleasure. These are some of my very FAVORITIST socks. They are soft and fuzzy, and perfect for a cold yucky day.
Enjoy.


Holy shiznits my legs look huge in this picture. Just goes to show you that I love you all so much, that I would post this. Ugh, I need to run again. Just remember my shadow pic from a couple of days ago. :-)

Monday, January 4, 2010

Day 4

I had to work today. This is where I work. This is my apron I get to wear, and also my nametag. Enjoy.

Sunday, January 3, 2010

Day 3

Yay! I've kept with it for three days now! You should all be impressed. :-)


This is a photo of what I hear ALL DAY LONG. "MOM" (Get it? Haha, SO funny!) And check out those muscles in my arms. That's from holding camera flashes. ;-) Enjoy!

Day 2



Today I went into Salt Lake and second shot a wedding with Three Winks Studios. It was a lot of fun! Since Sam gets our car on weekends, I got to ride Frontrunner into Salt Lake and back. It was my first time on Frontrunner. The ride in was great, the ride back was kind of bumpy. Made me nervous. But I survived. :-) While I was waiting for my ride from Frontrunner, the sun came out and showed my shadow. Aww. Hence today's self portrait. My shadow. Enjoy. :-)

Friday, January 1, 2010

Start of a project

This is the start of another project of mine. I want to take a self portrait (can be of just my foot, which you might just get :-)) every day of 2010. This will help my creativity. (Hopefully) So I start of this year, with this picture. Taken today while out playing in the snow with my boy. And so it begins. :-)



Enjoy.
