Catching up on my 365 project

When I started out on this 365 photo project with Mamas with Cameras, my goal was to create a weekly blog post for each week of photos. Well, here we are almost at the end of February and I have yet to post any photos from this month. The best laid plans, eh?? So, here is a photo avalanche showing my February-thus-far. I hope you enjoy!

What  were the Olsons up to this past week? Well, here's a little sneak peek! Week 4 of my Mamas with Cameras 365 photo project. I hope you enjoy!

Do you ever feel like you're being watched??

Mamas with Cameras 365 Project: Week 3

Another week of 2016 has zoomed past and is officially in the history books. It has been a wet, wet, wet week here in Seattle, so plenty of opportunities for weather-related photos. I've actually had to challenge myself NOT to do too many weather photos because drops and splashes are so easy to come by right now.

2015 Photo Challenge: Week 4

It's hard to believe, but it is already time to post the final photos for the March 2015 Mamas with Cameras photo challenge. After completing a lengthy 365 photo challenge, the one-month challenge seemed as fast as a blink of an eye!

The last part of this month sure had incredible weather, which helped me get quite a few outdoor shots. That said, yesterday was "wild and crazy weather day" with rain, thunder, lightening, and hail, so it was fitting to finish up the photo challenge with a shot of Annika jumping into a puddle in our back yard.

I hope you enjoy this final installment of my most recent photography challenge!

2015 Photo Challenge: Week 3

I'm still plugging away at the March photo challenge put forth by the Mamas with Cameras photo group and am really enjoying myself. I've done well sticking with my 50mm prime lens and have gotten a few cases of the giggles while contorting myself to get shots framed as I want them. I think I've created a new mashup... yoga + photography = yotography!

What was in front of my lens this week? Take a peek!

Lemon Drop

Shoe tying cooperation

Good morning, Seattle
