February's 5 on 5

For this installment of the project 5 on 5, I decided to share a couple photos of when I caught the boys on camera using their imagination in an adorable way. We had tent poles out and they decided to pretend to fish off the second story landing which looks into the living room downstairs. They were having so much fun so I grabbed the camera. I also asked Brad to grab the ladder so I could try to get some photos from different perspectives. The whole play time was short lived because of a broken pole, but did end on a high note when they caught tootsie rolls supplied by Daddy.

This post is part of a series of photographers who share 5 photos on the 5th of the month. Click HERE to visit Danielle's blog and view her stunning photos!

5 on 5 in January

January's 5 on 5 is a little different for me. I didn't really document a story, but I did a quick photo shoot with my hubby using garage light on a day that he took off work when all boys were in school for a day date. So here are my top 5 photos from our mini shoot.

These 5 photos are part of a project '5 on 5' in which photographers select 5 photos to tell a story and post on the 5th of the month. After looking at my 5 photos, please visit Jess's blog  for her 5 on 5 submission! 

Remember, don't miss out on Jess's 5 on 5 this month!

5 on 5: A Family Hike

As we are nearing the end of Christmas break, we have spent more time in our pjs than not, and more time on ipads and the new wii game that I care to admit. So we rounded up the kids, put on warm clothes, and headed to Lewisville Lake Environmental Learning Area (LLELA). This was our first visit to LLELA and we all really enjoyed it. We only went on a short hike (a mile hike with kids takes forever!) but we will for sure be going back to check out the other trails. One of the highlights was visiting an old homestead. Matthew said he was glad he didn't live back then because he didn't want to live in a log cabin. John said one of the houses was dark, asking 'where are the lights'? Definitely a good learning experience for these little kids! The boys even indulged me when I asked for a family photo, putting to use my new pocket pod bean bag Brad got me for Christmas!

5 on 5: The One About A Foggy Morning

On Monday morning I was at my Camp Gladiator workout nice and early in the morning. Halfway through the workout, a fog rolled in. It is rarely foggy here in the DFW area so I was itching to photograph in this weather. After I dropped of the 2 older boys at school, Thomas and I made a pit stop at the lake. My camera battery was about to die, but the precious thing hung on for the whole trip and I got some practice in foggy photography. I was hoping the fog would be kind of wispy across the water, but really it was just a thick fog all around. Thomas and I enjoyed our relaxing and quiet hour by the lake as I took photos and he 'fished' with sticks he founded tangled up in old fishing wire.

5 on 5: October Edition | jen faith brown photography

I decided to showcase a set of photos of the boys helping change the battery in my car for this month's 5 on 5 blog circle. My battery died while I was at my Camp Gladiator workout and my sweet friend Julie had to drive me home that morning. We got the car back to the house by jumping it, but the boys were fabulous helpers in changing the battery with Brad. I of course had to document my sweet almost-naked boys working on a car for probably one of the first times. Interestingly the battery in my Acadia is in the floorboard in the 2nd row of seats. Kind of crazy and threw Brad for a loop when trying to changing battery. :)  And if we are being honest, the boys helped turn the ratchet a couple times and then played around in the car, but they still had fun with Daddy!

5 on 5: Back to School Haircut

Thomas is heading to pre-school for the first time next week so we prepped with a fresh new 'do. I was trying to grow out his hair to accentuate his curls, but I couldn't handle his crazy hair anymore. So, instead of the surfer boy look, we switched to a hipster boy haircut to match his big brothers. If you recall from my Facebook photo, (you HAVE to click the link to go see what John will look like in the future!) I learned my lesson a couple weeks ago and made sure I had my camera with me to document T Bone's haircut. He hasn't had a haircut that used clippers in the last 9 months so he wasn't a fan and it definitely showed on his face! My mom used to tell me 'Beauty takes pain': a message passed down from her mom. If Thomas would have understood what that meant, I might have told him the same thing. Instead I just giggled at his funny facial expressions.

5 of 5 August Edition | flower mound photographer

Did you guys see my post last month about our vacation breakfast and joining a Document Your Days blog circle? Well, I have joined a second blog circle called 5 on 5. Our goal is to post 5 photos to tell a story on the 5th of the month. Pretty catchy, right?! For my debut post I decided to share a couple photos of my best friend from college and her daughter. I met Marlene my sophomore year at Texas A&M when we took a dance and English class together and lived in adjacent dorms. She is the funniest, sweetest, and smartest gal! (um, hello, she is a DOCTOR now in Houston!) When my family when on vacation to Galveston, she met us for an afternoon of fun with our kids. I took the camera out for literally 10 minutes when we were at the beach and snapped some of the cutest Mom & Me photos. No posing, no direction, just photographing them in action. I love how they turned out...and I wish I lived near the beach to be able to take these kind of photos all the time!

Head over to Jenny's blog from Sycamore Lane Photography to see her August 5 on 5 berry picking photos. They are fabulous!
