Category Archives: Project 12 I am so excited that our portrait circle is sticking together for another year; it has been such a wonderful group of women! And we’ve added two more this year to our little group, which will make it even more fun! This month our theme was “Reflections.” I knew I wanted to somehow commemorate my […]  This has been such a wonderful year for me in getting to know these ladies, and I am so excited that we are continuing on together in 2014 (admittedly, though, we haven’t yet settled on a topic…)! This month we decided to do a year in review, so we each picked our favorites from each […]  This month’s assignment in our little group was to create a portrait with the face not in focus.

But then Emily asked if we could scrapbook this weekend, and since she is starting high school (high school!!!!) in a few days, I was feeling nostalgic so it […]  Our assignment this month was to “think outside the box”: to find a location we wouldn’t ordinarily think of to shoot in, and figure out how to make it pretty. I was excited about it, because location scouting around here has long been on my to-do list! But alas, it will have to remain on […]  We found this mask that we totally loved at a little shop in Solvang last summer, and I haven’t quite known what to do with it so it’s been sitting in my “to shoot” pile ever since. But you know how we love masks, so we had to find something! While I was brainstorming the […] |
