Are you familiar with lifestyle photography? I'm currently taking a
class from Brooke Snow about how to really capture the "story" in your
images and be able to portray emotion better. This week, my homework
assignment was to choose a character (my son) and take "detail" pictures of him
that give us some information about who he is and his personality. He
just finished up first grade and has developed a true love for
reading...ESPECIALLY Calvin and Hobbes. His books are tattered and
worn, missing pages, and one is even missing the cover. As a mother, I often overlook moments like this to photograph. He's been reading well for over a year now and this is the first time I've taken out the camera and really tried to capture the details of this amazing time in my son's life right now. I snapped many more pictures that what you see on the blog (the assignment limited me to 4), and every one of them makes my heart melt. I will always treasure these images.
