Light

This week the word for with.in is Light. I love this as I am a natural light photographer. The word light can be taken in some many more ways than just the light we see. Being a wife and mother there are plenty of moments where “I see the light” both of which being jobs in themselves. Or at work working on a dry subject such as health and safety, very important part of the business but not very interesting, getting into the end where I can see the light at the end of the tunnel is relief.

Warm light, cool light – many who know me know I prefer the warm light. Moody light and tones with my black and white images really give the photo a true feeling, even with the grain – many of my black and white photos are processed like this because I push my ISO to photograph in natural light.

What I love the most is the way my kids, our kids light up our life! This winter I have been using my camera more without the flash, I’m not a flash fan, as I said I am all about natural light. Most likely why I am so excited about this theme, I have so many photos of mine on my flickr page that are all natural light and of varying times, dates, seasons from bright morning sunshine, grey overcast afternoon to evening sunsets.

For me “light” holds so much, light is what makes me the photographer that I am. And being a photographer, even if most times its a mom-tographer is what captures our family’s most amazing moments, which make our children’s faces light up as if it were the exact day it was captured!

I will have lots of photos to share annnnnd gives me more to work forward with this week ;)

Happy capturing ;) Pam

Going along with the light theme for this week, I took this photo family day weekend, playing wii in the evening, our living room lit up by not only our laps and the light of the tv but also our kids faces – they just lit up with happiness and fun. So much that we were all laughing and having a blast :)

Family Fun

One of my biggest reasons for blogging and most of all blogging more is to not only capture and share but also provide an avenue to write with the images I share. The family fun moments is so important and are truly the moments that my kids enjoy looking back at the most. This weekend, family day has now graced us with a long weekend. Whats even more awesome is hubby has the weekend off :) Its amazing how that extra day can make such a hige difference. Of course for his hockey game this morning I didn’t take my camera *gasp* and he played awesome! We were so proud of him. Looking forward to more family fun this weekend!

My heart is filled with love, life and health. So much to be thankful for, much more than last year that is for certain. Thankful and loving in more ways than just the most obvious to be thankful for. The heart is amazing at the capabilities as well as the ability to overcome. much love and life. much health and healing. Growth… 2012 is all about this!

Romance… and Parenting

So this week on with.in the word is Romance. With Valentines day this week, yes quite fitting. However Im the type of girl who wants Real.Life.Romance.Every.Day!

What is romance for me?

Love. Marriage. Being An Amazing Father To Our Children. Best Friends. Working As A Team. Little Things. Cooking. Cleaning. Respect. Fun. Holding Hands. Kissing. Hugging. Touching My Face. Massages. Music. Amazingly Hard Working. Talent. Dedication. Creative. Responsible.

Ramance for me is a combination of everyday things that we can do for each other to show we care. Of course the best part of romance is when we have time away from the kids to be completely alone. However just because we have the kids around does not have to take any romance out of the time. I want our kids to see we are in love and that we show appreciation to each other.

The kids. With that comes the parenting. The hardest “job” ever, yet the most rewarding for sure! Today proved to be challenging, very actually and it makes me no less a mom to admit this. The best part is how we handled it as a team once hub’s got home. Of course we all have off days, today proved to be one of our son’s which then affects mom. Our babes is one reason I am no longer looking to expand my photography business yet I am motivating myself to capture more of our own memories. Something both our kids enjoy is looking at and talking about our family photograph’s.

Well that and music lol…

Ah the joys of parenting. But if you can still keep the romance alive even after a crazy day and evening… we’ll make it! Together as a team!

This is the year of growth for me and for our family, lots more changes, but the one constant is the love we all share as a family! As parents and lovers.

Canvas Portraits

A client of mine ordered their own Canvas Portraits so I made myself make a decision and choose what would be our first family portrait on Canvas… I knew I wanted to go HUGE so I wanted it to be right… It is SO right! Hub’s got home tonight and once we got the kids and fur-kid outside to play he went to work hanging the portrait!

(yes the surround sound wires are hanging up around the speakers… remember the puppy my previous post showcased… yes I think that explains?! haha)

Above shows the 24×36″ I got for above our couch… I got it BIG and really its not AS big as I thought it was going to be lol but its awesome. The next size down are two 11×14″ portraits. The perfect size if you want to hang them together or they aren’t going to be hung as a statement piece above one large pice of furniture. I adore my clients two images! The smallest is an 8×12″ portrait of the beach at my grama’s cottage. Love it there. I printed it this size as she keeps it on her desk at home – my reasoning for this piece of art so she can always have the beach and water to enjoy! <3
