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!

Three o'clock in the afternoon around our home is basically a chill-out time. We will have just walked through the door from school pick-up (pick-upS depending on the day) and the boys want to immediately head to the wii or ipad. On this particular day I would love to say we played for a while because it was rainy and cold, but this is our typical day. So, whatevs. After everyone has their turn with their device of choice, then it just time to hang out and play until dinner. Every once in a while I throw in a chore of having them unload the dishwasher for me for good measure. And really that is just because I don't want to do it so I have them pitch in by doing it for me. Today was not one of those days. Since it was rainy I only took photos of the wii/ipad time on this particular day however, the next day I was upstairs with the boys in the playroom. I looked out the window and exclaimed 'Look what I see!!'. John said in a very unimpressed tone 'The light. You are going to get your camera'. They know me so well by now! So I dragged out the tripod so I could be in the photos as we read books on the couch. I swear these look posed, but they aren't. Matthew really is that snuggle-y and you can see why I get excited when we are in there at the exact right time- the light is perfect! After we read books I handed the camera over to Matty B for some diaper changing documentation. And that about sums up a typical 3:00-4:00ish day at our house! Nothing spectacularly exciting but it is still fun to capture these small moments.

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.

These photos are part of a series of  a '5 on 5' project in which we share 5 photos on the 5th of the month. Please click over to view the photos Eboni of Luxe Art Images is sharing this month.

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!
