48/52 - Stuffed Animals

Tonight we wanted to try to get a couple of pictures of our little boy with his stuffed animals.  We wanted it to look like he was sitting there talking with them all and wanted to get a cute picture of his little butt, so we had him facing away from us...kind of like we were catching a secret moment of him playing with the animals.

We didn't realize that the air vent was really distracting until after we shot a bunch of pictures and put them on the computer.  I guess we can do it again at some point on a different wall, but for now I really like the colors and the way it turned out.

Let me know what you think.

47/52 - Sitting on the couch

I found a picture similar to this when looking around on-line and really wanted to try to recreate it.  As with most of my ideas, I use a lot of internet to try to come up with inspiration for new photos...500px, Pinterest, Flickr and a slew of other websites.  But, I think that 500px and Pinterest are by far my two most used.

So, on Mother's Day morning, after eating a delicious breakfast of Chocolate Chip Pancakes, we set our baby down and got to shooting.  I really like the big windows that we have in our family room and we just got a brand new couch that I thought would look great in B&W.  So, we pushed the couch against the windows and started shooting.

I think that it came out really well!

Let me know what you think.
