Project 365: Mother's Day 2010

We were in a small gas station getting gas. All of a sudden I spotted this perfect backdrop. Me: "Kids, hurry, get out of the car...I need to take your picture!" Them: "What? Are you crazy? We're not even dressed. It's disgusting over there anyway!" Me: "It's Mother's Day...now get out of the car". And so we rushed out and they allowed me to snap about 3 shots each. I knew I wanted to make them look dark and gloomy, but it cracks me up that the kids look like they want to kill me...which they did. Good sports, though, and I got what I wanted on Mother's Day!

Project 365: Happy Mother's Day!

I love to capture the natural relationships between mothers and their kids. Here are a few from the past few months. I hope all of you have a Happy Mother's Day!

Project 365: Superheroes

Last night was awesome! Picture-perfect weather and adorable family. When I asked this little guy who his favorite superheroes were he told me all about Batman and X-Men, etc. But when I saw this image, it says it all: Dad is his real superhero!

Project 365: Love is Pure

This young couple works tirelessly and joyfully as our church's youth pastors. I have them to thank for guiding my daughter through her middle school years. They are awesome! Besides being shooed away from most of Reston Town Center (apparently you are not allowed to photograph there because of security reasons), we had a great time!

Project 365: The Light that Feeds Us

If ever there were a quintessential picture of my husband it would be this one. He is often found in a dark room, face lit only by the glowing computer screen. The other night when we had no Internet and he was on the deck, in the dark, "borrowing" the neighbor's wifi, I just had to capture it!
