2013 Photo-a-Day::Day 31

For the month of January, I am taking up personal project where I take a daily photo of my children. They are the stars of my show. I decided to finish off my photo-a-day project with the attempt to get all my kids in the same frame. In looking around my house for the best lighting, I’ve determined that my bedroom has a warm, creamy light where I can produce some of my best images. Now, my bedroom has been the catch-all for random stuff that has not yet been

The kids don’t always close the bathroom door

For the month of January, I am taking up personal project where I take a daily photo of my children. They are the stars of my show. Patrick and I look at our daughter and wonder where the time as gone. In the last 6 years of her life, we’ve moved twice and had 3 other children. And through it all, she remains happy, mainly because she’s with her family and that is enough to make her content. She seems to have the personality to need the security of her
