Project 365 2012 – Week 9 – A Photo a Day Journey

Week 9 of 2012 has happened and what a busy week it was. I had a ton of freelance deadlines this week which always makes it fun to balance everything. Is anyone else in shock that we have already gotten to March? Spring Break starts this week and before we know it, school will be out and the kids will be home for summer again! Crazy stuff.

Here are some of the moments I captured from this week…I think this is my favorite week of photos from 2012 yet.

February 26, 2012: We spent the weekend in Des Moines with Nick’s side of the family. Waking up in the hotel room I couldn’t help but love the light coming in the room. I think I have a bit of an obsession with photographing windows with sheer curtains.

February 27, 2012: My “office” and co-workers for the day. I wouldn’t trade it for anything!

February 28th, 2012: Crazy deadline week sometimes calls for desperate measures, like bringing the play-doh tub inside for Leah to play with. I thought I’d get at least an hour out of her with all the play-doh stuff, but her desire to play with it lasted all of 15 minutes.

February 29, 2012: I was shooting some homemade marinara for one of the magazines I work with. After the photoshoot was over, I began cleaning up… pouring out the marinara into containers, etc. After I had emptied one jar I looked over and had to take a shot… sometimes my favorite food shots are the “after the fact” shots, like this one.

March 1, 2012: More from my “tea time” shoot. Another obsession I seem to have is photographing coffee and hot beverages!

March 2, 2012: iPhone photo of Jacob playing the part of Steve Jobs for the 4th Grade Wax Museum project. He did a great job with his assignment.

March 3rd, 2012: My friend Sara gave Ella and Leah giftcards to Yogurtopia for helping her out with a school assignment she was doing. Nick and I took them on Saturday and they had a fabulous time filling up their big bowls and topping their frozen yogurt with everything imaginable! Thanks, Sara!

And a bonus…I feel bad that Kelly wasn’t in any of the selected pictures for the week, so I’m adding this bonus picture. My friend Kristen dropped this off at my house this week. It is a picture she took of Kelly and I at Girl Scout Camp this past summer. I think it is one of my favorite pictures with her that we’ve had taken.

And that’s it for the week! If you are participating in Project 365 let me know your link… I’d love to follow along!

Have a great week 10 of 2012, everyone!

    All great shots, but WOW, look at the similarity of yours and Kelly’s faces – eyes/cheeks/smiles. Beautiful!

    What wonderful photos! Such a beautiful family you have.
    I too love photos taken mid-mouthful so to speak. We should do it more often.

      Yes we should… I think we spend so much time doing the “before” shots we are hungry and not thinking about it afterwards…but I love those shots indeed!

    Probably my favorite weeks photos this year as well. Any week with Ella in glasses, Leah almost still being a baby, Jacob looking grown up, and Kelly smiling with her beautiful Mom is a great week in my opinion. I love you.

    What a fantastic week Kristen. That after the fact shot of the marinara is beautiful. My friend & I actually host a Project 366 on Mondays. It works out really well because with hosting- I HAVE TO be sure I am taking pics even when I might not feel like it. Often times those are the ones I like the best.

    What a beautiful family! I am looking forward to seeing all of you in person in less than a week. Wish Nick could come, too, but maybe next time. You are all blessed! Thanks for sharing. Love you all. I don’t think you realize how precious all these pictures are to me. They traverse the miles so well!

    I love a few things about this week. As always, I adore all of the pictures of your amazing family. That makes me smile. And, I love “The Husband’s” comment. How sweet that he is reading, following along, and admiring your photography gift. Everything about this post made me smile. Happy Monday!

    I love this – and what a gorgeous family! I’ve been doing this since the beginning of February. I’m trying to post a photo each day on the blog but it often ends up being more than one, lol! I do, however, pick just one to post on the 365 project site I’m using. Here’s yesterday photo post: http://mamameglutenfree.blogspot.com/2012/03/dove-in-flight.html
    And the 365 link: http://365project.org/mamamegf/profile

    Do you have a link for a compilation of all your photos, or is it on the photojournal page? I couldn’t find any other link. I’m confused because it seems like a lot of bloggers are doing this project, but they are using a different site or format than the 365 project site I’m using. Is there a preference for one over another?

    I love the beautiful simplicity of your photography. Every image has a mood and I almost feel as though I’m there in the room.

    Really beautiful.

Can’t believe we’re doing the college tour thing already with my second baby! 

So question for any of you who sent your kids to out of state schools or went to out of state schools...how did you do it? She wants to get the heck out of Kansas (I’d like to go with her!). We have money saved, she’ll most likely get a scholarship or two, she’s paying and has money saved as well...but even with that out of state tuition is a beast of an amount. So, did you just assume that student loans were going to be part of that life? And is that worth it to give your kids a shot at a new life outside of your home state? I wish I would have left Kansas for university, and have been here since I was born 😩. I want different for her if that’s what she wants but also just don’t have any experience with how people do out of state college! Any tips?

J is for...jam!
.
My friend @wakschmale makes the best strawberry jam...and I completely forgot about a jar she gave me last year until this morning. Which then inspired me to make my favorite buttermilk biscuits. So so good. Are you a jam, honey, just butter or plain biscuit fan? I love biscuits allll the ways, except with gravy. I have super bad memories of biscuits and gravy growing up. 🤢
.
I’m still slowly making my way through the alphabet for @kimklassen_innercircle a-z photo challenge. I’m bound and determined to finish. It may just take me a little longer than I originally anticipated 🤗.

It took me 2 months to get this Crispy Chickpea Pantry Pasta recipe up on the blog. 🤦‍♀️But it’s there now! You can find the link in my Instagram profile.
.
Also, just noticed Instagram took away the like count on posts. I kind of like that...what do you think?

I is for Inspiration!
.
The “long haul” effects of having Covid back in December are really presenting themselves lately. The continuous persistent headaches are taking a toll and the connection between the brain fog and word retrieval function of my brain has been extra challenging. I had no idea a couple months out, the cognitive effects would still be hanging around.
.
With that said, when I get a burst of inspiration I’m grabbing on for dear life. I made our favorite chocolate chip cookies recipe yesterday and felt the desire to update the blog post photos from 2007! We make these cookies all the time, so I’m not sure why it’s taken me so many years to give that poor post some new photos.
.
If you’re interested in the recipe you can find the link currently in my profile. Enjoy!!

H is for...high!
.
It was so strange being on a plane again. I’m so thankful I have the antibodies because the flights were full, which seemed wrong, but everyone around me did seem to keep their masks on, so that was good.
.
I can’t wait until travel becomes a regular part of life again. I’ve missed it so much!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

F is for...food photography.
.
This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!

E is for...Excitement!
.
There’s a lot of excitement in Kansas City as our beloved @chiefs head back to the Super Bowl this weekend! #runitback 🏈
.
It’s so strange because winning the super bowl last year was the last “normal” thing that happened before the pandemic hit. We went from a city full of excitement to shutting down and sheltering in place. Maybe when we win and bring the trophy home this year, it’ll be the start of something great. Let’s hope!
.
Who are you rooting for Sunday? Chiefs, Buccaneers or tacos? 😂
