This week’s You Capture :: Real Life was such a great idea!!
I’ve actually been doing a series similar to this for 18 days … it’s called “31 Peeks into Our Daily Life” and we’ve been having a lot of fun with it. I found myself taking pictures of leaves and trees and me standing on a bench, but I was missing the most important part of my life — the time I spend with my girl.
So this is a way for me to have little reminders of what we do on a daily basis, because this is my real life.
Friday, we played in the leaves …
… went to the park …
… walked on the balance beam …
… and daydreamed a little.
Saturday, we hung some stuff up in the new office/playroom …
including a new bulletin board that is just for Emma’s artwork.
Emma stole Macey’s bone to use as a spyglass …
… and then Macey knocked Emma over.
Sunday, we visited my parents in Georgia …
… walked through the woods …
… drove a bulldozer (i’m kidding!!) …
… visited the neighbor’s cows …
… and enjoyed a beautiful sunset over Lake Hartwell on the way home.
Monday, we looked up.
Tuesday, we had a silly day at home …
… stayed in our pj’s all day …
… and ate turkey dogs and bananas dipped in ketchup for lunch.
And Wednesday … we remembered.
Did you notice that we didn’t clean? That would be why I’m cleaning all day today.
See how everyone else lives their lives over at You Capture.

every picture is so perfect! And thanks for reminding me to capture the everyday things too. Your daughter is beyond precious. My favorites are the daydreaming and the veterans pic
Love these shots…the color effects are wonderful! such a beautiful daughter!
Love the swing picture…I do have a question, the hotdogs and bananas…Were they both dipped in the ketchup? or just the hotdogs?
Is it weird that I love each and every one of these shots?? GREAT JOB!
Your real life looks so lovely and like so much fun! We’re having an all day in the pjs day today. Thank you for sharing this great series.
I love that you did so many different days! I want to live next door to you and your cute family!!
Can you be my mom?
Gosh darn you, I love your posts. SO. MUCH.
Love them all! Looks like you all had a lot of fun this past week, and that is always better than cleaning!
These are so perfect I want to punch you. In the nicest possible way. I wish I could dress like Emma and get away with it… striped tights and pigtails are so freaking cute.
What a fun life you have! And what heavenly weather you enjoyed!
And great idea on the bulletin board for Emma’s artwork. But be forewarned, it will be filled all too quickly once school really gets going. Not that I would know or anything (with two kids in school bringing home practically daily artwork!). I’m just sayin’…
Love all of these real life shots! I am inspired to do more of this with my own children. Thank you!
Oh wow, I love the daydreaming picture! It really captures daydreaming so well! Makes me want to run in there and daydream too.
(Who am I kidding? I daydream most of the day anyway!)
hey
i’m 16 and just really starting to get into photography and just thought i’d leave a message to let you know that i love your shots :)
i think it’s an awesome idea that you’ll be able to share with your daughter. she is also very pretty and you capture her so well.
i look forward to reading more of your blogs
