Lifestyle Photography.

As a new, very new, photographer (and I use that term loosely when describing myself) I haven’t yet figured out my style.  I’m in love with portraiture; I see amazing beautiful photos every day, ones I can only dream of being able to take someday. 

I naturally gravitate toward portraiture, lifestyle portraiture in particular.  I’m still fumbling along this amazing journey that I’m sincerely grateful I discovered.  I don’t expect to ‘find my style’ quite this easily and I know it’ll take years of practice and learning. 

That said there’s something about capturing the everyday moments that allow you to take a peek into the personalities of the people in a photo that draws me in.  Capturing life as it goes in an artistic manner is what makes my heart sing. 

These are the photos that I hang, with pride, in my home and the moments that I want to remember.

summer photography challenge

Courtney from Click it up a Notch is offering as a free download on her Facebook page, a 30 day challenge on photographing your kids.  There are some really amazing ideas in there, and I think that I’m going to give it a try. 

Ok, I’ll face it.  There’s no way I’m able to get these all completed in just 30 days so I’ll commit to getting as many of these accomplished as I can this summer – my summer photography challenge!!

I couldn’t wait to get started on these.  Challenge photograph #1 is:

Day 23: Brushing teeth.

Because I know me, and Owen, I’m also not going to commit to completing them in a row.  That just adds another level of complexity that will ensure I give up before I even really get started.

Towards the end of the summer I’ll see how many I get done. 

Wish me luck!!
