This week’s Project 26 theme is Laughter!  With three little kiddos at home, there is definitely a lot of laughter in our house!  But, more than anything these kids would like to be outside enjoying the sunshine.  And every spring at my son’s preschool, they get to do just that!  Colin had so much fun shooting me with the water gun at Splash Days!  He thought it was the funniest thing in the world to get his mom completely soaked!!!  At the end even Sydney, our littlest, got in on the action!  Love these kiddos!!!

This week’s Project 26 theme is: Series of a Scene Unfolding.  I absolutely love lifestyle photography, so this theme fits me pretty well.  And you are probably wondering . . . is she going to photograph her kids again?!  The answer is YES!!!!  I gave up shooting professionally about two years ago when I realized I was spending all my free time photographing other people’s kids rather than spending time with my own.  And I hated myself for it, but at the same time I desperately wanted to learn the art of photography and needed to pay for all that comes with it.  Now that everything is paid for, I can do what I love and that is spend time with my family.

So when doing these projects, I want them to be about my kiddos.  They are without a doubt my favorite thing to photograph!  Our littlest is the funniest thing ever.  She must have played in this playhouse half the afternoon.  Her favorite thing to do was get inside, close all the doors and windows, and hide from me!  That little sneaky thing!

This week’s Project 26 theme is Silhouette.  I distinctly remember my first attempt at photographing a silhouette. It involved five to six parasols, two children running every which direction, and gusts of wind that nearly blew us away.  I swore I’d never do another silhouette again.  Well, a few weeks back we went cosmic bowling.  Super fun!  Super dark!!!!  But, it made for some pretty cool silhouettes.

This week’s Project 26 theme is Through a Window.  And while this car may not actually have real windows, don’t tell that to this little girl.  Ever since she got a Cozy Coupe for Christmas, she’s thought she is pretty hot stuff!  She  is thoroughly convinced that she is a big person accidentally trapped in a little person’s body.  The Cozy Coupe confirms it.  She opens the door by herself, hops in, shuts the door, turns the key, and waits for her vehicle to wisk her away.

This week’s Project 26 theme is White!  And WOW what beautiful white sandy beaches we played in this past week in the Caribbean.  We’ve been planning a Disney cruise for over a year now and it finally happened, my mom included!  We set sail aboard the Disney Fantasy and it was truly magical in every way.  Our last stop was Disney’s private island Castaway Cay.  White sandy beaches, gorgeous turquoise blue water, beautiful sunshine, our kids were in heaven!  You would have thought they had the beach all to themselves.

Okay, I can’t help myself.  Wanna know a little secret?!  The beaches were packed!!!!  I literally had to edit out between two and twenty people in each photo.  Here’s one of the original RAW images.  Thank goodness for Photoshop!!!
