My Crazy Life--30 days--DAY 5

-
Soooo, for months I have wanted to start some kind of "photo a day"  project for myself and my family.   I've looked at several different projects--those with themes, those that are weekly, those that lasted just a month, those with tons of rules and those with no rules at all.  I've just never found one that appealed to me fully.  UNTIL NOW...I have always been a fan of Barb Uil from Jinkyart.com --her work is amazing.  If you've never seen it--check it out.   She has recently publish a wonderful book called FOR THE LOVE, An inspirational Guide and Adventure into photographing your Family.  I bought it as soon as I saw it and I LA, LA, LA, LOVE IT!!!   Aside from tons of great general tips, Barb has challenged readers to a scripted "photo per day" to capture the things we cherish most in life.   Aside from her challenge she also included projects from other photographers.   I read her book cover to cover and had planned to start her 60 day challenge January 1st but the more thought I gave it the more I leaned toward starting out with something smaller and doing Barb's challenge this summer when I can be home with my favorite girls--I mean they are my inspiration right!!    So my project for now is "a photo a day of My Crazy Life" inspired by the project from Kristen Cook (included in the book--also amazing).  My only rules,  I'm going with--trying to shoot all landscape and all black and white--following her lead-- for 30 days.  Since I'm starting on Jan 5th a few days late, I'm going to start with 4 recent pictures that I love and then my day 5 picture from today.  Here it goes--I already love Follow along or heck, do it with me.

To my sweet baby girl--can't believe you just turned 6. Where have these 6 years gone.   I look at you and I can’t believe what a an amazing kid you have become.  You seem so small at times and then you speak and the whole world turns to listen to what my little “big girl” has to say.  You are AMAZING.   You are so smart.  You have learned so much this year.   You can tie your shoes, you love gymnastics, you can read, you have been tested into the GT program at school, your teachers love you, your friends love you, and you are a great student.   We are so proud. I love how you pay attention to every little detail of everything.   You never cease to amaze me at how much you know about “everything”.     I love how good you are at gymnastics---You are just built for it.    You are strong and your coaches just can’t get enough of you.    I love how you always want your toes painted, but you can’t wait to go fishing with PawPaw.   I love that you will get in the garden and di

In January last year I started a photo project called For the Love.....30 days of photos, 1 photo each day, all black and white.     I love all of the images I got and promised myself I would do them every January, every year.   I actually had an album made from last year's images.   I LOVE IT....  This January, I started out on my FTL project but only got about 4 days in before I decided it wasn't going to work....We had so much rain in January and in February that I had a really hard time getting images.   Plus, with daylight savings time and cloudy skies in the afternoon I had no chance of getting any good light for pictures once I got home from work.    So this year I am changing up my FTL project a little.   I am going to wait and start this project in June---when I am home and can really spend some time on it.  I think I will also mix in some color images.....haven't decided yet....guess we will see in June. Soooo, instead I have joined a photo project started by An

So, I've got tons of pictures on my computer from the last few weeks.  Quick post, so I can get these pics up and get on to my post about our vacation---Here is what Summer looks like around the Schneider house. 1. We go to the Children's Museum 2. We Hang Out With Chelsi 3. We Take Naps 4. We paint!!!  (and remodel...pics coming I promise, I just haven't finished decorating after all the mess) 5. We take baths in the pool 6. We Go Out in PawPaw's Boat and yes she is sitting in the cooler--it was full of water so the girls were playing in it.   7. WE PLAY ALOT!!!!!! Today the girls got really quiet so I went to check on them in the playroom.  This is what I found...... Ryane had an "ouchie"--- Rheagan told her to get up on the table so she could check her out.  I guess a doctor in the family wouldn't be so bad.   These girls are crazy!!! And later, being sweet.... I'm gonna
