Robot Cat Love

Madison, a dog lover to some sick extreme, has done a 180 for cats? What's up with that? Every time I see her, she's wearing a cat t-shirt or cat pajamas or is petting one these purring, walking robot cats that apparently only love her.




With the cool weather finally visiting Alabama, my yellow wild flowers are rocking and I thought it would be a great week for some new photos. I invited Madison along. She invited Edwin, one of two Robot cats. Enjoy a few of these fun photos.

39/52 Man vs. Nature

When I think of Photography vs Nature, it's always Wind hands down. It's always whipping my hair around, my clients hair around and just making my nature a little less sharp than I'd like it to be. For my Man vs. Nature shoot, I thought about flying a kite, but then again bubbles are always more fun.
Here's our feature shot this week, titled: Bubble Boy vs. Wind and Sister - She just popped in out of no where, it made this shot all the more fun. {This shot was taken just before the first Mosquito drew blood, or about 7pm if you're not from the area.}


Bubbles. Who can't smile watching kids play with bubbles? On a windy day, bubbles are a childrens photographer's best friend. I frequently carry a tiny container of Gazillion bubbles with me {they are seriously the best!} Here's a few more from a windy day of fun with Bubbles in Creola, Alabama...

First Day of Fall

The first day of Fall should be a momentous occasion, but in Southern Alabama it tends to sneak right past you. It's still too hot and too green to really be fall. But I am always hopeful. I love to celebrate that glorious first day of Fall with a morning walk and plot out the great things I'm looking forward to photographing. I took Madison with me, 2 hats and my favorite camera. It was too warm for a sweater {but I wore one anyway}, but perfect for slowing down and holding hands. Enjoy a few of my favorite girl on the first day of Fall in Creola, Alabama.

35, day 128 "There goes my Beatle"

This week's Project 52 Theme is "Just for Fun" - not unlike a few weeks ago's theme of "Girls just want to have fun" - but that is neither here nor there. We had a little fun with the Kiddo's Beatle Love this week and used some umbrellas. This week's feature photo is Grant. I call it "There goes my Beatle" Also enjoyable were... You may be asking yourself, "Where is Mr. Ellenburg?" - Oh I'll bet he's working that fancy Camera - Nope, remote control. Mike said things like, "Daphne, there was only 4 Beatles" An easy out for a busy guy. None the less, I have a Blue umbrella for him for next time when we'll try for 5 Beatles. Jackson is such a Ham.

35, day 127 Tangled

The young mind is easily marketed to. I have no doubt that there is not a nicely funded research project proving this point right now. For nearly a month, my 3 year old could tell me the release date for "Tangled" on Blu-ray no less. As it got closer, she knew. "Tangled is coming in 2 weeks on Blu-ray" Tuesday, she woke up and recited "Mom, Tangled is out today on Blu-ray, will you bring it home?" How can I say no to that sweet face? For good measure, I also brought home a doll. I wish I could just freeze time and keep her so sweet and small. Photography is the only way I can do that, reflecting on those photos are magical. I know that one day, many years from now, she'll see these again remember how loved she is. That's what great photography is all about. A beautiful Memory frozen in time. Have you seen Tangled yet? By the end of the week, Madison & I will know all the songs - thank you Disney's Fast Play.

Day 2 Photos

Trying out my new Birthday Lens. Today's subject is my Ten year old son, Jackson. He makes an excellent model. (If you can stand listening to the Beyblades Theme song, Barf) I'm mostly kidding. I like that I actually found a few fall leaves - the season has been so wacky here.

Thanks Jackson, it was super fun.
