June 28, 2019 : A Day in The Life

I love doing Day in the Life photography projects! The last time I did this was on my son’s due date. I decided that I needed to do another one since it had been a good two years (almost to the day!).

I call this one, 'Being Hunted' 🤣 The 'animal' I call this one, 'Being Hunted' 🤣 The 'animal' in the background is one of the big blow up lanterns at our zoo, so no worries!! He's completely safe. I think it's the moose lantern - they were HUGE! I think to scale of how big a moose is. I have a dentist appointment today. And I'm having serious anxiety about it. Tell me something good in the comments to help get my mind off of it, please!!! I don't want to be here but I have to get this tooth fixed. 😭 Also, SO many of you have been DMing me asking me what presets I use, tips on editing, what software I use, etc. While I appreciate the love, it's starting to be overwhelming! Here are some answers though: I don't use presets other than ones I've created. But even if I use a preset I've created, I still go in and hand edit/tweak each image. I use Lightroom exclusively. I pull an image into photoshop mainly if it needs some serious cloning. And as far as tips on editing....I really don't think I'm your girl! Editing is one of the hardest parts of photography for me. I enjoy it, but it's been a huge struggle trying to find what I like and don't like, finding new techniques, getting into a groove. It takes years of practice! I don't just have an answer that will fix all your editing woes. Though I am touched you thought I would. Haha! So if you read all of that, please still send me a positive in the comments as I am so anxious and just don't want to be here. I need some happy in my day. I wish I was home snuggling my babies. . . . . .  #cameramama #candidchildhood #createandinspirehub #count_itjoy #dearestviewfinder #delight_in_childhood #documentyourdays #freezeamoment1 #hoto_21 #letthekids #mom_hub #momtogcollective #documentyourmemories_  #our52group #parenthood_moments #pixel_kids #rainbowsofmotherhood #simplychildren #shareyourlovehub #theeverydayportrait #thefamilynarrative  #DawsonLyleA #boylifecaptured #littleadventures_bigpictures
Happy Mother's day, everyone. Whether you're an a Happy Mother's day, everyone. Whether you're an actual mother, or a mother at heart, you're amazing and so wonderful. I realize mothers day can be hard for many. Maybe you want to be a mother and can't be one. Maybe you lost your mom. Maybe motherhood has been hard for you. Whatever your story, you are amazing and beautiful and a huge part of society. The saying, 'it takes a village' is there for a reason. So many different women (other than my own amazing mama) have helped shaped me into the mother that I am today. They have been a second mother to me and I'm forever thankful for them. So, if this is a hard day for you, I see you and I'm thinking of you. ❤ This isn't the image I wanted and I still don't love it, but it's all I got. #alyintheframe 🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸🌸 “A mother is she who can take the place of all others but whose place no one else can take.” —Cardinal Mermillod Today we come together to celebrate mothers.

Just a little bit of nature in my feed. #alyandmac Just a little bit of nature in my feed. #alyandmacro Gear: Nikon Z6 with Sigma 35mm 1.4 ART lens NO extensions were used. I actually don't own a macro lens! And I hate the extension tubes. Do you need a macro lens to take macro? Yes. Do you need a macro lens to take pictures of nature? Absolutely not! Happy Friday! 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿 “It seems to me that the natural world is the greatest source of excitement, the greatest source of visual beauty, the greatest source of intellectual interest. It is the greatest source of so much in life that makes life worth living.” -David Attenborough 🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿🌿 I’m excited to join a group of women that love photographing nature and each Friday we will be sharing our favourite nature images.

I love it when trees have these little buds. It's I love it when trees have these little buds. It's a sign of rebirth and something new. Spring is definitely a favorite season of mine. The warmer days, the sun, the GREEN! I've missed the green. I'm so excited for summer as well, ready for the lake days and the sprinkler days. It's getting closer and closer and I'm so ready! Please see stories for full image. So yesterday I was trying to take pictures in my backyard of some flowers I found and I literally got attacked by bees and I ran away. Yes, I am a scaredy-cat when it comes to any little creature. They just creep me out so much! I was tempted to try to get a picture of one of the bees, but I didn't have the right lens on and wasn't going to get THAT close to one of those! Anyone else deathly afraid of bugs and all things that creep and crawl? 😬 I'm so afraid of them that one time a bug got in my cleavage (this may be TMI lol) and I literally stripped naked and freaked out. I mean, luckily I was at home when this happened....but still. I did not feel safe after that. 😂😭 Oh my, happy Thursday friends! . . . . . #totm_Plant  #kotl_Spring #cw_SpringVibes #atpc_S21 #LaurellePaige #shared_joy #stunningchildhood #theartofchildhood #thebloomforum #the_camera_clique #thephotographersnotebook #thesincerestoryteller #thiswildlingsoul #treasured_childhood #whimsical_childhood #childhoodofnostalgia #runwildmychild  #kidswhoexplore #kidsworld_nature  #hikeitbaby #tinybigadventure #lightofagirl #wildrosefamily #click2inspire #diaryofthecreativemind #jo_littlethings #galleryoflightfeature #the_soulful_artist_photo #countrykidsatheart #thebabyyears
