bow ties!

So tonight I decided that I would make some little bitty bow ties for an upcoming photo shoot. Little boys are sooo cute but a lot harder to find props for than little girls, at least I think so. So while I was at Hobby Lobby today I found some super cute ribbon that I figured I could at least attempt to see what I could make with it. And I think they turned out quite well if I do say so myself. I'll have to post pictures after the shoot later on this week.

Fairytale!

I took this while watching the wedding this morning, yes I'm a dork for taking it but it was still fun to watch. I loved her dress! I'm so happy for the both of them. To think that I was watching history in the making was amazing, especially since my generation as grown up right along side them.

my "right now"

So its here! Time to get Ben graduated and then set sail! I'm super excited if you couldn't tell by my amount of luggage! I figured its justified since I'm going on a cruise and need to have options! Plus I also want to look nice at his graduation. :) I'll be sure to post pics along the way as I have the opportunity to do so and will be sure to tell all about our trip once I'm home!

Photo workshop...

For those readers of mine who enjoy photography, there is another photographer out there offering a chance to win a free workshop with her! Check her out at: http://cravemyphotography.com/blog/world-wide-giveaway/ She's great and I'm really crossing my fingers that I could possibly get a chance at this. I think it would really help me grow and learn a lot of great new things and really help my business get up and going!

day 11: dreams; little boys dream of one day being able to shoot the gun all on their own, meanwhile their uncle's help them out!

day 12: eyes: my little 2 year old nephews eyes after waking up from an afternoon nap ♥

day 13: routines...

catching up...

So I've gotten behind on posting these pictures so here's what's been happening over the past few weeks.

Day 8: promises,

day 9: passions or hobbies: my father in law loves to collect old trucks, here is one of his finds

Day 10: where they're comfortable: my father in law loves this little spot for reading...I thought this was the perfect picture since his coffee cup is still where he left it and you can tell how often he sits here by the worn out places in the seat cover.

day 5, 6 and 7

day 7: generationsday 6: who they love
day 5: love to hate :)
so since I've been in GA, I've not been keeping up with posting on here like I should and hence the reason I'm 3 days behind. But I've caught up and taken time to post 3 new pictures. Day 5 was what we love to hate. I choose playing frisbee with our Boxadore Cutter, because while he gets great joy out of chasing the 5 gallon bucket lid, I don't enjoy the mud that comes along with it. Day 6 was who they love, and as you can see Bella loves her Cutter and I think she would be lost without him. Day 7 is generations. Since I am at my in-laws this week I thought I'd take a picture of some family rings, starting on the left with Nanaw's ring, my father in laws grandmother's ring, in the middle my mother in law's ring and then my ring. <3

day 4: what they wear

Well before we hit the road for Georgia, I thought I'd try to get this picture up. Since Ben got home from officer's training and Iraq, i've seen a lot of his uniform. So here's a picture of his jump boots and red beret, something an army wife sees a lot of. Hope you all have a wonderful weekend! :)

day 3: then and now

So I felt like today's topic was a little harder for me to come up with, even though it really shouldn't have been. When you have 3 dogs and a husband you'd think it would be easy! But it put my creativity to work in some sense and also forced me to learn some of Photoshop. But I decided to go with a picture that I had of Cutter when he was a baby and one of him now. He enjoyed getting a treat after sitting for the picture also, so we both won! :)

day 2. how they look...

For me day two seemed a little more tricky in some aspects, but I think I was able to take a few good ones. Our task was to capture how they look, whether that be how they look in the morning when they first get up, a funny face they make or just anything that is specific to that loved one. So I took a few of my loved ones! :) Enjoy!

Photography journey...

Some of you know that I've been trying to start a photography business and while there is still a long ways to go, its beginning to come together. But this month I'm doing a "30 day challenge" so to speak that requires taking a photo each day of something different. So I hope to post these here on my blog and feel free to leave comments. I would love to hear feed back! Also if you're on Facebook check out my Amy Spooner Photography page there. I hope you all are having a wonderful start to your February.

Feb. 1st, first photo: "What they do", we were supposed to take a picture of our loved ones doing something...so here goes nothing!
