Just One Day

A couple of weeks ago, I decided to do a little day-in-the-life project for Mr. Briggs. I know that our days aren't all that spectacular around here, but I also know that one day I'll look back and not be really able to remember what his normal, everyday baby days were like. 

So I chose this random day at 19.5 months and photographed him from the minute he woke up to the minute he went to bed. I took 416 photos. Maybe a few too many. 

I can't say that any two days are ever alike around here, so we don't really have a "norm." For example, on this particular day we didn't go anywhere, we had a friend over to play twice, and we only had one time-out. All rare occurrences for us. But every day does include a few themes and routines -- some version of eat, play, cuddle, read books, sleep, diaper. And to those rules, this day was no exception. 

Newlyweds

You may remember this beautiful mama from her baby boy's one-year photos back in November. Well now she's newly married and planning an April wedding. I was so happy to capture a few portraits of the adorable newlyweds and thankful they were willing to make the drive to this awesome location. 

Congrats, you two! 

Five Week to Better Shooting; Week Five

"...for five weeks, I’m only allowing myself one shot each day. Not one photo – no, one shot. One click of the shutter. And whatever it is, whatever comes of it, I have to show it to you. Blurry, overexposed, misaligned, and all.

But I know myself – I know that because I have to show it, I’ll be more careful with the shot in the first place. Which is the whole point. To be more careful. To be more intentional.To look."

Here’s what came of my with and final week;
