{Personal Project} Documenting Everyday // Real Life // One Photo A Day // Week 2&3 // Milwaukee Family Photographer
So I thought I would be able to keep up with blogging my 365 weekly, and turns out I wasn't so successful last week. Actually, I shouldn't say it that way. I sort of interrupted my flow with my own Day in the Life session last week - SEE IT HERE - and couldn't get around to blogging my "regular" 365 images last week. So today you are privileged to get 2 weeks worth of photos!
Something during my second week, I took it upon myself to document our day too. So I may or may not have cheated and used some of the images from throughout my day for some of my 365 days.
Days 7-12 we did very exciting things.
We had meetings. We baked. We hugged. We brushed our hair. We took awalk in the snow.
This week I've been challenging myself to try and find light in unexpected places.
13. So on our only sunny day of the week, we discovered beautiful golden hour sun, streaming through our living room windows.
14. I was going to write, "On laundry day...", but it feels like every day is laundry day. In any event, she loves helping me with the laundry (whatever day I do it).
15 & 16. Keeping busy indoors when it's too wet and icy to play
17. Getting together with local, like minded artists and their kids is always a fun activity.

I officially joined a 365 group this year. I've been documenting our daily life since last year, but I skipped many days last year.
So this year, I joined some accountability groups and I'm aiming to do it right. I know there will be days when I don't get a photo, but as my friend Becky says, "Just do what works for you". And that's exactly what I'm going to do.
I'll just photograph our everyday moments. The beautiful. The mundane.
So without further adieu, I present to you: Blimie T's Week 1 photos.
1. I started out the year with a self portrait (of sorts). Granted it's not in focus. But when I've got an overtired, cranky little toddler sitting in my lap, I take what I can get.
2. I don't know about your kids, but when my kids come home from school they are so famished they can eat a house. Okay, maybe not a house. But a container of cream cheese. By the spoonful.
3. When we woke up and saw fog, I was thoroughly excited! As a photographer, it's not often I get to photograph in foggy weather. You can read about our Foggy Day Story here.
4. This is what making breakfast looks like in this house. What do you do for your breakfast?
5 and 6. Winter in Wisconsin can be very drab. I've been focusing on trying to find light, and I was surprisingly awarded with some sunny days. For about 25 minutes every morning (when it's sunny) we get this one streak of sunshine that comes right through our kitchen and ends in the corner of the hallway.
Capturing some house glitter (aka dust) has been on my list of wants (yes, photographer's like getting good dust shots!)
And just reading her favorite books.
And that's about it for this week.

Family Fall Fun // Southeast Wisconsin Family Photographer // Milwaukee // Family Documentary Photography
It's been so nice here this week and it's supposed to continue going into next week. I decided to treat my kids to a picnic dinner the other night - hello November 1st and 73 degrees!!
Well, November was a pretty long month. I can't believe it started out still in the 70's and we are now well into the 40-50's (my kids are wearing their winter coats already). But on the very first day of November we took advantage of the beautiful weather and went on a little outing.
Fall in Wisconsin is hanging on for longer than I expected. It's been so nice here this week and it's supposed to continue going into next week. I decided to treat my kids to a picnic dinner the other night - hello November 1st and 73 degrees!!
We had an easy dinner (and no mess at home - score!), and then went on a gorgeous little hike on a path in the "woods". And to top it all of (Oh, haha, pun intended!), there was a perfectly sized hill that the kids had an amazing time rolling down, until one of them said he's going to throw up. Comment if you think he did.
These memories are precious to my children and myself! I want you to have beautiful memories too to share with your children and grandchildren. Sign up here to receive my TOP 6 TIPS TO HELP YOU PHOTOGRAPH YOUR EVERYDAY MEMORIES.
