Why this blog?

I've started this blog as I have always loved photography and would like to make it into a small business one day. But till then I thought that it would be good since I have a new SLR camera to try and take photos as much as I can, to improve my skills and learn new ones. (There is always plenty to learn!) So I am looking forward to starting my Project: Photographer blog and hope that you enjoy the work I do too!



Day 31: Happy Halloween


 It's all about the pumpkins at Halloween.  Well for me is it anyway. I loved pumpkin carving with Noah and I love pumpkin pie. Yummy!   Here's how are pumpkin turned out. I know it's not very professional, but its not bad for my first try hey!?

Happy Halloween everyone! :)

Day 30: Trees

I loved how the sunlight was streaming through the trees this morning.  I got loads of great shots and just couldn't decide which sunlight photo to blog, but this the final product.  

Day 29: Trip to the park!

Noah loves the park and we got loads of fun photos, but this has to be my favourite!

Day 28: Happy


Happy ~ even just seeing the word makes me smile! :)

Day 27: Feet

Feet!  I don't usually like feet but childrens feet are just too cute! :)

Day 26: English Garden

I know a picture of a picture isn't exactly original, but I came across this picture when clearing up.  It's one of my favourite photos of an English garden.  Plus I love the colours too.

Day 25: Lily

I LOVE LILIES!  They are one of my favourite flowers.
I know I have taken a lot of photographs of orange flowers, so I promise next time I do a flower picture I will make sure its not orange.  I guess I'm just trying to make up for the lack of autumn colours around here.  

Day 24: Baking

I love baking...but more to the point, I love eating baked foods! :)

Day 23: Trunk or Treat!

It's a Peter Pan thing!  Tonight was our Trunk or Treat, which we loved.  Especially because Noah got loads of sweets/candy!  Our costumes didn't turn out too bad either! :)

Day 22: Sewing

In preparation for tomorrow nights Trunk or Treat I have been a busy bee making our costumes.  Although I'm not finished I did take a well deserved break to snap some pictures of what I was doing.  Stay tuned for the finished product pictures tomorrow! :)

Day 21: Orange Flowers

I go everywhere with my camera now and spotted these beauties in a garden in my neighbourhood.  So I jumped out of the car and took a few shots! :)

Day 20: Colouring

I know this photo is edited slightly different to my normal styles, but I wanted to bring out the colouring skills of my little boy! Yes, colouring is what we were mostly doing today. :)

Day 19: Apple

Ok so I apologise for the lack of creativity and 'prettiness' of this photo today.  I have been feeling a little under the weather and haven't been able to do much, hence a last minute picture for today.  Hopefully tomorrow will be better! :)

Day 17: Mirror Kisses

I just couldn't resist but to put this photo up today.  Its just makes me smile every time I see.  I have the cutest little boy in the world!

Day 16: The Pathway

Not much to say really, I just thought it was a cute pathway and so its my photo for today!

Day 15: The Bride's Treasury


I found this cute little book whilst trying to clear away the books that Noah had decided to get out and look at.  It was given to me by my Nanna for my wedding day.  I love this book, so I decided it would be my photo (or should I say photos) for today.

Day 14: The Hat



This morning whilst I was getting Noah changed he found one of his summer hats.  I let him play with it as it was keeping him still....but then I couldn't take it away from him.  He wanted to keep wearing it.  When I asked him if he looked handsome in his hat he put his head to the side and gave a huge grin ~ I was taking that as a 'yes'.  So this is how he ate breakfast this morning....thank goodness it wasn't his cowboy hat or sombrero ~ this time!

Day 13: Hay Bales

So I was thinking that I have a lot of close up work and not enough landscape pictures.  Although after living in the UK where there is green all around you, its hard to find luscious greenery to take pictures of here, but I did my best, and thought that it turned out just fine. 

Day 12: Burnt Orange

I love burnt orange, its my favourite colour.  It's a happy colour.

Day 11: Clouds



Clouds are very far and few between where we live, and when we do get them they are normally big dark thunder clouds and aren't the most 'beautiful'....so when I saw these beautiful white, fluffy clouds today, I knew that this is what I was going to photograph.

Day 10: Black & White

Since today was Sunday and I don't have a load of time to get  too creative I thought I would shoot pics of my cute little boy again today.  He's just so fun to photograph...

Day 9: Zoo


Today we went to the zoo!!  Noah just adored looking at all the reptiles, and he especially enjoyed the lions!  However, because the weather was hot ~ go figure, what else would it be here ~ a lot of the animals were taking shelter from the sun.  So I did the best I could to get a  good and different photo today.
(I couldn't decide between these two, so I thought why not post both!)
Enjoy!!

Day 8: Book of Mormon

And when ye shall recieve these things, I would exhort you that ye would ask God, the Eternal Father, in the name of Christ, if these things are not true; and if ye shall ask with a sincere heart, with real intent, having faith in Christ, he will manifest the truth of it unto you, by the power of the Holy Ghost.
~Moroni 10: 4

Day 7: Cactus

There are plenty of Cactus or Cacti to photograph out here, but I particularly like the flowers of this cacti.  Mind you, as pretty as the flowers are, the thorns/spikes are not!

Day 6: Music

 

"Music speaks what cannot be expressed, soothes the mind and gives it rest, heals the heart and makes it whole, flows from heaven to the soul."

Day 5: Shoes

I know this may not be the most exciting photo, but I was going for more artistic than beautiful! (Plus for all of you who know me I love shoes...especially little shoes for my son, they are just the cutest!)

Day 4: Sunflowers


Another one of my favourite flowers ~ sunflowers!    Today has just been such a beautiful day, not too hot, just right...I was on my way back from the post office when I saw these beautiful flowers being sold on the road side, I just had to stop and get them.  Don't sunflowers just brighten up your day? 

Day 3: Bench


When I saw this bench I just fell in love with it.  Wouldn't you just love one of these benches on your porch or in your back garden?...Well I would!


Day 2: Purple Flowers


I just love flowers; the smell, the colour and obviously taking photos of them too.  Hence, the botanical gardens here is one of my favourite places for photo taking!

Day 1: Noah


I knew that my first day was going to be a photo of Noah....and I'm sure that there will be plenty more of him, since I have 364 more days to go! :)
