Hey moms! Are you in your family photos?

Hey moms! Are you in your family photos?

I’m not talking about those in-your-face-selfies we all have with our favorite humans, you know, many of which were taken with those crazy snapchat filters. Nor am I talking about your yearly 15 minute pilgrimage to a gorgeous location to take perfectly coiffed, posed, family portraiture in your Sunday best. No, I’m talking about those day-to-day photos where someone else recognizes the sweetness of a candid moment and takes a photo of you, a true superwoman, in action.

a Birthday Party, Covid-19 Style

a Birthday Party, Covid-19 Style

In a nice diversion from the seemingly endless stream of car parades since the start of social isolation, this family rented an ice cream truck and enjoyed socially distant ice cream for their son’s birthday. Indicative of the times, there was a table with plenty of hand sanitizer, disinfectant wipes, and handmade masks for guests to take as pandemic party favors.

Photography Challenge Winner

Photography Challenge Winner

Back in May, I created a photo challenge in order to give back to my community. On one hand, it was to provide an escape and inspiration for others to be creative, on the other, it was to raise money for charity (I pledged to donate $$ for every complete entry). It was super difficult to pick a winner from all the entries I received. Art is so subjective and everyone did such an amazing job, so it was no easy task. I truly enjoyed looking through all the submissions. However, I had to choose a winner, so choose a winner I did.

Organic Family Portraits

Organic Family Portraits

Yes, organic! Nothing artificial here. Just family, all together, as they go about their day, whether it be an average, run-of-the-mill day or a special, shout-from-the-rooftop kinda day. I love how this type of family portraiture is able to show meaningful relationships, how much families love one another, and individual personalities, not just smiles for the camera with a pretty backdrop.

Photography Challenge for All

Photography Challenge for All

Often when our minds are reeling with an overload of emotions, the last thing we feel like doing is, well, anything at all. Who hasn’t been there in the last few, heck, bajillion weeks of ‘social isolation’ (sounds like an oxymoron if you ask me)? Yet these are the times when tapping into our creativity can help us more than we can imagine. Art may not fix things, but it sure can help us cope (or at the very least, provide a diversion). As such, I’ve put together a photo challenge for everyone – regardless of age, camera, or skill level. Hope you have fun with this!

Some questions to ask yourself about your family photographs

Some questions to ask yourself about your family photographs

There never seems to be a good time, or enough time, but if ever there is a time, it might be now. With most of the world under quarantine, and our minds reeling with the heaviness of everything that is going on, why not set aside some time to “escape” by going through family photos with your loved ones? Revel in your memories. As you do so, I encourage you to think about a few things… and possibly make some changes going forward.
