Seeing as I am dead set on documenting the small every day details of our lives, I learned early on to take my camera with me wherever we go. Now, I don't have my camera with me 24/7 because with three little kids, sometimes it just isn't feasible to take photos when we are out and about, especially if Brad isn't with us. However, I take my camera with me even to the weirdest places. I may get some funny looks, but whatevs. I don't really care! So, here are some examples of photos I have taken in random places...some more random than others.
1. Barber Shop
Having three boys with particular haircuts means we are at the barber shop almost every month. We usually see the same stylist so she probably knows me as 'the mom with three boys who always has her camera'. I have a ton of photos of these boys getting haircuts (or waiting for their turn), but I love them all!
2. Restaurants
We don't take the boys out to eat a lot because they tend to get antsy and they are picky about what food they like. So on the rare occasion we eat at the restaurant instead of taking it home, I have to snap some photos.
3. Doctor's Offices
These photos were taken in the waiting room of Matthew's speech therapists office, although I have been known to take several photos at the dentist office and try to entertain the boys with photos at the pediatrician's office. The dentist is pretty easy since they are contained to a chair, but the dr's office is more tricky since we are usually crammed into a tiny room without any windows. However, I still have that camera with me just in case I can get a good photo!
4. Library
We make it to the library for story time every once in a while, and the camera is packed along with our overdue books that we seem to always have at the house.
Cool lines means photo op!
6. Grocery Store
Might as well seeing as we are always there and the boys eat a ton of food each week!
7. Tire Shop
Sometimes we have the boring errands to run, but a precious boy makes it more bearable!
8. Nursery
This is one of my favorite photos of the three boys together. Good thing I had my camera with me when we were shopping for flowers for the backyard!
On a foggy day, Thomas and I hung out at the back of the parking lot after dropping off Matthew at preschool. I managed to snap a couple cute ones in the ultra rare foggy weather in Dallas.
I have had an idea of a project where I shoot photos in completely random and even ugly spaces to see how creative I can be to make such settings photo worthy. I think I might start that one soon so check back and see how it turns out!
