52 Project {week 39} | Lubbock, Tx family photographer

This weeks theme is "Fall", I happen to love fall I just don't happen to live in a place where fall really comes or last long no beautiful trees with leaves of every color. Last week it was in the mid to upper 90's doesn't really scream fall!

Even though fall hasn't really come to visit me, that doesn't mean I can't enjoy one of my favorite fall treats starbucks pumpkin spice latte!


Wondering what I've been doing for these past 39 weeks or how I meet the other ladies of my circles well head over to The everything bloom blog! With out a doubt I know Christine Blaylock, Illinois Photographer will have something fabulous to share about fall!

BTW I need to totally brag on my friend Cody, he's the guy I work with doing my photo shoot for the newspaper. Thats not what I'm bragging about... this guy here just beat cancer thats right my friends a month ago he was cancerous... and today he's clean. The power of prayer and early detection is amazing!

52 week project {week 36} | Lubbock, tx photographer

Sorry if you already saw this post if not, then you have no idea that I made a boobo!

This weeks theme is "stranger",  I was a little suck on this until I ran into a few ducks. I like ducks they are funny little animals some will come running up to you and then some will run away {unless you have bread} I however was not preparired for the ducks so they took off I was a stranger.

52 Project {week 35} | Lubbock, Tx Family Photographer

So after posting last night in a fog of migraine meds and well a migraine I made a boo boo... oops this weeks theme is "On the streets" in my confusion I don't have a photo to fit the right theme... I'm off to get something new!

Here it is "on the street" soon like in two weeks this will no longer be my street, so for the last almost seven years the place where I called home will someone else's home. It's weird I wont lie I'm excited to be in a new bigger home but slightly sad at the same time but it'll all be good... if I can make it threw the move! :) so this is possibly the last shot i'll take of this street.

Head over to see everyone else has found on the streets, Nicole Lubin, Baltimore MD Photographer

52 Project {week 34} | Lubbock, Tx Family Photographer

This weeks theme is "Brave," so many things come to mind when I think of being brave partly because I also think it can be slightly dangerous. Nothing in life goes as planned right, you can do everything in your power and make all the right choices but really you have no control! We learned that the hard way three years ago when our brave son, Jake was born. I had a lovely pregnancy I felt really great and was getting around well all looked good. I ate super healthy took really good care of my self did everything I could, but it didn't matter. Jake was born 3 weeks early which in todays world is really good, however he had issues that no one was prepared for. I remember going into NICU and seeing my new baby for the second time covered in tubes and wires and the doctor going over chest x-rays with us, and he then told us we might not take him home. I stopped listening, he was wrong I just knew it Jake was going to be my brave little boy! After two collapsed lungs and a double lung infection which they still don't know what caused it or why it happened we left the hospital 20 days later with our son, by Gods will!

He is our brave and fearless child, and we have God to thank for that so standing at 3ft. 2in he has no problem climbing monkey bars that are 6.5ft tall!

Please head over to the lovely Nicole Lubin, Baltimore Maryland Photographer And see what she has done for brave.

52 Project {week 33} | Lubbock, Tx Family Photographer

I feel beyond accomplished for making it to 33 weeks! This week theme is "ODD"....? Yeah I sort of questioned this for days... I even googled it. I'm stumped but I thought whats odd to one might just be funny to someone else? And without going to the mall and randomly finding interesting people to take photos of unknowingly {as my sister suggested} I thought I would make my silly stewy odd! I do believe he's one of the most proper dogs and its beyond fitting that he would wear a tie... I'm even thinking of making him his own bow ties!

So follow the ODD circle this week and see what  Amanda Jouppi, Chippewa Falls Photographer

52 Project {week 32} | Lubbock, Tx Family Photographer

This weeks theme is "Nostalgia," don't get me wrong I LOVE my technology but there are things that I miss very much like hand written notes, not just a quick text message sent while you were multitasking. I always tell my friends all you have to do is send me a simple note it'll make my day... or even week. I like getting mail with stamps that someone took the extra time to write out and mail. I make it a point to send notes to my friends often, and I might be one of the few but I love the write thank you cards! 

So please take a walk down memory lane and see what the very talented Meghan Boyer, Maryland Lifestyle Photographer.

52 Project {week 30} | Lubbock, Tx Family Photographer

This weeks theme is "time" I found it sort of hard to photography maybe because I feel stuck in a rut and way frustrated with so many things in my life right now. I spend my time doing things I love for the people I love all the time!

"The time you enjoy wasting is not wasted time."
Bertrand Russell

Here's my Lily this is something that she has been spending a lot of time on, and something that when she gets older she'll look back at and remember this point in time!

Please head over and see what Nicole Lubin, Baltimore Maryland Photographer has for time.

52 Project {week 28} | Lubbock, Tx Family Photographer

Week 28, woohoo! This weeks theme is summer, and oh how I love summer... however this summer has been less then pleasant! It has over been 100 degrees just about every day since the end of May, we have had zero rain and so that means our flat landscape is also dried out and dead or is burnt from a fire! And with it being this hot we often have impromptu sprinkler play time, but not until after 7 when it's only 98 outside!

Follow me so see what everyone has done for summer but hoping over to Jenn Duguay, Valleyview, Alberta Photographer.

I'm thankful for my grandparents, aunt and uncle, sister,brother and cousins.

At every family event I'm expected to bring my camera and tripod grandma's orders after all! She loves having the big group shots, this was from a family reunion for one part of her family.

52 Project {week 23} | Lubbock, Tx photographer

We are on week 23, there are 13 other photographers joining me this week. Our theme is "Home", I love it. Home is not really the house you live in but the place you feel safe in and where you can let your guard down.  You could live in the same house for 30 years or move every year to a different house... but a house is just that.... a home is full of love! We are about to list our house and look for a new one, but my home will always be with these people that I love.  So while I edit my photo for this post and write this up I'll be listening to Edward Sharpe & the magnetic zero's "Home"
It's one of my all time favorite songs it can put me in the best mood no matter what. :)

So please go see everyone else's home starting out with Shannon Derbique, Colorado Springs Photographer
