week 1 photo

i like taking pictures. i enjoy learning more about how to take good pictures. i have no particular photography goals for the year yet, except to capture as many pictures of my second child as i have my first. that's a huge goal in and of itself, seeing as how i have taken thousands upon thousands of our first. but, i'm a stay-at-home mom with adorable boys (i have seen baby 2 on ultrasound-- he's a cutie!), so why not take a gazillion pictures of them while i'm home all day, right?

a blog friend has started a 2012 goal of one picture a week. i like it. not as much pressure as taking a photo every day, but still something to shoot for. get it, shoot for. haha.

so, since i lack creativity in thinking up my own photography projects, i am copying her. thanks for the idea, adriel!

here is week 1 photo. not one that i spent a great deal of time mastering the perfect lighting or setting, just a favorite from the week. it was actually taken with my phone. shhh. hey, if you start with something not-so-great, it only leaves more room for improvement, right?

i love this picture. i love his osh, kosh, b' gosh overalls, i love his bare feet, i love that i asked him to go over to the stairs and smile and then i would show him the picture and he did it! such a sweet boy!

this was my runner-up picture-- i couldn't resist! he's wearing mommy's glasses and i think it's so cute how his little hands are ready, in case this "wearing mommy's glasses thing" doesn't work!
