a project for a person who doesn’t follow through with projects. . .
That’s me!!! Miss start a project and never finish it. It’s something about me that drives my poor husband crazy because he is SO organized and on top of everything and I. . . . well, am SO not. I have definitely become more disciplined running a business and have surprised myself at how well I keep on top of everything with that, but I think it’s because I know I have to or I won’t have a business lol! Everything else is just something that can be done sometime, so I put it off until the pressure to do it erupts like a bad zit (gross!).
Which gets me to my point of starting a new project, or shall I call it an un-project? One that it’s o.k. to be late on or not to finish, but that I will at least have some great memories from. It’s my “I don’t know how many days project……..” as coined by a great friend and an amazing photographer to boot. Her name is Lisa Harrison and I am so blessed to have met her as a friend through the crazy internet world (the link is to her 365 project). I also call it “Snapshots of my Good Life” because I for one, have a GREAT life and need to remind myself how good it is and two, don’t want to always feel the pressure to be producing portraits as opposed to fun snapshots of my kids (even though I’ll more than likely show the better ones here because that’s how I roll).
So I’m not sure how often I’ll post them here on my blog or how often I’ll even take pictures or how long this all will last, but it’s for the now and I’m super excited about it (just like any new project). Except this one is fun and there are no high expectations on myself and that will be good for me.
Here’s a few random ones so far that I love. . . .
Gotta love living somewhere you can have a tree-house and a tire swing!
My ALWAYS dirty-faced baby.
This poor bird had an injured wing and my daughter wanted to help it so bad.
Don’t hate me for living somewhere where it’s 75 degrees in the middle of winter. Can you smell the oranges?
Fun with my fisheye during reading time with daddy. Can you see big feet, little head? HA!
I got to watch my adorable niece Jenna for 5 days this month and had to take a close-up of her amazing baby blues.
I’ll probably post some time to time on my Facebook page if you want to follow along there.
Have a beautiful weekend everyone!
xoxo,
Kristin

I love them!!! I’ve been wanting to do a project like this for some time, but I guess I just got to get off my butt and do it.

Good for you Kristin!!! These are all gorgeous:) I just decided to start the same project a few days ago. I love that you call it an “un-project”!! I am completely the same, start a project that never gets finished… we’ll see how long I can keep it going! xx

Yay! So glad you are doing a personal photo project this year. Can’t wait to follow it! I finally decided to do a project this year too. But after one successful 365 and one failed 365, I am doing a monthly project this year. I figure I can squeeze that in! LOL
