Day 47 Joy of Love:Together {Self Portrait}

Well a "together" photo was not going to happen today.  I was not ready before my husband left for work today and by the time he gets home the lighting is just not there.  So, I settled for a self portrait of us still together, but in a photo.  This photo was not taken by me and I give all the credit to a wonderful photographer: Kelly Klatt! 

Nor did I take the photo that I posted.....my 5 year old did!  I set the camera up on the tripod and attempted to use the timer....I think I tried 20 times, had my 1 year old bouncing and giggling each time I ran back and forth to the bed to try to get "that" picture.  It wasn't happening so I called my son up to help out.  I think he did a great job!  He was very cute....this is what I heard during my photo session with him:

{"Mom, your not listening"}
{finger pointing left, right, up, down to tell me where to move the picture so it was in focus}
{"Mom, do you want me to be a photographer when I grow up?"}
{Then he had to go on the bed and show me a few poses....}
????I wonder where he gets it from????

All too cute and I will forever remember this time we took this photo!

I don't know what it is with B&W lately, but I seem to be using them more than before.  I went through the effort of skin tone correction, color correction only to turn it B&W ;)

  1. Your son did a FANTASTIC job! Wow, I think it must be in his blood because his composure and focus on your eye is stellar. I absolutely love that he sounded just like you as he was taking your picture...out of the mouth of babes. I too am really favoring b/w these days and have to resist the urge to convert everything.

  14. Awww! I love this! He did a GREAT job! I love the black and white too! I always love the "airyness" of your photos. LOL! Does that make sense. They are always so light and bright! Give me a lesson, please!
