the Joy of Love: Days 1 & 2

I am participating in the Willete: the Joy of Love 28 day photography challenge. Each day we have an "assignment" or theme and are encouraged to photograph those we love and share our images on our blog. Since I am passionate about photography I figured this would give me some motivation to pick up my camera every day for the next month. I'm not sure if I'll be able to keep up every day but I'll do my best to participate as much as possible. Here are my photo shares for Days 1 & 2.

Day 1: What They Do

This is my middle child Halle. She draws...every day...throughout the day! We go through paper like it's going out of style! What can I say, she's her mother's daughter. I have always loved to be creative, wether it be drawing, painting, writing poetry, sewing, crafting,...and of course photography! I hope Halle's love of art continues to blossom.



Day 2: How They Look

This is my oldest child, Hayden, my only son. And this is how he looks when I plead with him to let me take his picture. I get this tilted head smirk...but in this instance I love it! This is his purest, truest expression. Getting photographed is not his favorite thing to do and now that he's 8 it's getting harder and harder to bribe him. But every once in a while I get a glance like this and if I'm lucky I'll have my camera in hand! Today was a lucky day.
