Photo Challenge 2017 – Week 19: Portrait, Messy
June 11, 2017
I was thinking about messy portraits – there are so many things that people do to create beauty, art, health, amazing food – it’s messy on one side, the side that most people don’t see and gorgeous and complete on the other side, the side that people do usually see. The mess is what makes … More Photo Challenge 2017 – Week 19: Portrait, Messy
Photo Challenge 2017 – Week 18: Artistic, Texture
June 3, 2017
Can you tell I’m playing catch up after being stalled out for a few weeks? This was a fun one – I had heaps of ideas, but this is the one that I went with. It’s the boys clasping hands together. There is so much texture in hands and skin – the creases and folds.

While Bend may not be particularly urban, it’s our little city. I love the juxtaposition of spring flowers blooming next to the road.

June 2, 2017
The week 16 challenge totally stalled me out! I have heaps of ideas and several friends who volunteered to let me capture them in motion, but scheduling just didn’t work. I will continue to pursue getting those portraits done. However, it’s taken me age to actually capture an action shot. I finally got one of … More Photo Challenge 2017 – Week 16: Portrait, Motion

April 2, 2017
We got to meet up with family in Portland yesterday to celebrate my nephew’s 10th birthday. He’s such an amazing, cool kid. So happy to be able to celebrate together. This week’s challenge was to do a portrait high key. It’s a dreamy, slightly blurred and a bit overexposed photography style. You can definitely achieve … More Photo Challenge 2017 – Week 13: Portrait, High Key
Photo Challenge 2017 – Week 11: Landscape, Reflection
March 19, 2017
I had an idea I wanted to try this week, I feel I was moderately successful. It was hard to get the angle I wanted on a full landscape, so I got more of a treescape. I like the effect though and will be trying this more. I love reflections and I really love reflections in … More Photo Challenge 2017 – Week 11: Landscape, Reflection
Photo Challenge 2017 – Week 10: Portrait, Environmental
March 12, 2017
This week’s portrait is of Colin, again, because I love him. The idea was to capture a portrait of someone in their natural setting – be it at work or a hobby. Colin and I teach in each of the boy’s classes at church once a month. Colin is a natural. He is really just so … More Photo Challenge 2017 – Week 10: Portrait, Environmental
