52 Week Project

In case you haven't been following MomShots, I am working on a 52 Week Project which is basically a weekly compilation of photos of my kids and family. I do this weekly and then at the end of the year I can get them all printed out and have a photo album ready made. I'm excited because it will help me get better at PhotoShop and hopefully my photography will improve as well. Plus, as many photos as I take you'd think I would have photo albums all over the place. I don't. Hopefully this will help remedy that. I'm hoping to also get some great photos for my walls.

Here are the last three weeks collages:

Two Sites is better than none...

If you check this blog but never check Momshots, you are missing out on most of my photos and some of our stories.  I have been feeling a little overwhelmed and crazy lately.  Well more crazy than overwhelmed, really...  A little too overwhelmed to come up with original content for both places right now.    

I realized I haven't posted here for a long time.  I regularly post at www.momshots.com so check it out once in a while to see new photos.  I will still post here occasionally and sometime frequently, but you can always count on regular posts over there.

Here is the most recent photo from my most recent post on Momshots.

The Birth of Momshots

This is a bit anticlimactic but I wanted to share with you a little project I am currently working on.  It is a blog that focuses on learning how to take better photographs of my kids - or as I call them Momshots.   

This is just the very beginnings of the site so when you view it imagine a great bit "Under Construction" sign in flashing letters at the top of the page. We have plans to make it into a really cool place in the future.  Right now it is just a pretty low key blog.  We will be making changes often until we get it right.  My cousin, Kristina and I will be working on it and developing the blog and site as we learn how to take better photos of our kids.  We will share Momshots, tips for getting better photographs, tips for post processing, tips for all kinds of things photography related.  In the future, we will have interviews of professional photographers and pick their brain on how to get great pictures of our kids.  Those are just a few of the ideas that you will see on Momshots.com.

So I just wanted to put this out there.  There will be many, many changes to the site over time but in the mean-time, this is my new baby.

Also, If you would be so kind as to put a link to it on your blog, that would be really cool.
