Like Father Like Son

My 1st diptych just had to be something funny. And the antics of my family on July 4th gave me enough to work with.

Have I ever told you my hubby is strange? Looks like my son will be following in his steps.

The Kids and Me

A rare photo… one with me *in* the photo instead of behind the camera.

Tried to tell hubby how to work the manual settings. Eventually flipped it to AUTO and told him to press the shutter! LOL

He took 6 photos.. not one had all of the kids looking at the camera. How do the pros do it??

Never a Serious Moment

I can rarely get a serious portrait of hubby. This time my oldest daughter is the culprit.

Daddy’s Girl

I’m lame. Father’s Day came and went without a photo dedication to my husband.

This man came into my life a bit over 5 years ago, adopting my oldest daughter as his own. He loves her as if she was his own flesh and blood.

My soul mate sacrifices alot for us. He works hard and gives up the things he wants so I can stay home to raise and homeschool our children.

Happy (belated) Father’s Day to my husband!

"The godly [man] walk with integrity; blessed are their children after them."
(Proverbs 20:7 NLT)

Laughter

A cheerful heart is good medicine, but a broken spirit saps a person’s strength. (Proverbs 22:17 NLT)

The girls were being silly. Joshua watches with rapt attention while Daddy is laughing. Despite the motion blur, I love this photo. It shows unrestrained laughter. A complete candid moment.

A Southerner’s Opinion of Snow

Weekly Assignment: Feelings (thread here)
For Week: Dec 26 – Jan 1

Both my husband and I have grown in the deep south. After moving to Michigan due to job relocation 4 years ago, we still hate winter with the snow and cold. Shoveling is not our idea of fun as you can tell by my husband’s expression in the photo. (Or maybe he’s irritated more by me snapping photos instead of helping with the shoveling? )

Note: Weekly Assignments are practical digital photography assignments for the Digital Photography School community forum to participate in. Purely voluntary, I decided to participate as a way to expand my skills through these exercises.
