I get to see my little girl in Thursday when I drive down to
Port Coquitlam.
They are having so much fun in Hawaii,
I know they will miss all the sunshine and warmth when they get back.
Jeremy and Julie have been so great,
taking photos everyday and sharing them with us.
Making us feel we are there
with them.
They will be in for a rainy week when they come back.
Although it does not start officially until
9:30 pm tonight,
it's a lovley way to start the weekend!
Thanks to my Cindy for the sweet flower pot
to display my hyacinth in!
It was a very fulfilling creative day.
Filming in bright sun,
filtering some of the light.
Keeping the some of shadows to get a sense of perception.
It's just a perfectly beautiful day.
We are learning about taking photos with intent.
Composition and styling.
Learning how important shooting in natural light is.
Doing flat lays and being observant in the process.
About editing in different photo apps that are available.
We have been sharing
what we are learning with our class mates.
I have been loving the process!
Spring Break.
Hawaii.
One very happy little 5 year old playing in the sand.
I am not sure it could get any better than this for
Jeremy, Julie and Claire.
There are 75 people registered for the
Makelight
online course starting tomorrow.
We have all connected on a private FaceBook page
to introduce ourselves and show
what our current photos look like on Instagram.
I have been busy collecting things I would like to use to style my photos.
It was sunny and bright for a few hours this morning, so,
I got out my big white canvas frame and had fun with some of my props.
Here is how they turned out,
they were all taken with my iPhone 5c
My quest for learning continues.
On Monday I take an online photography course called
"Makelight"
I am a big fan of Emily Quinton.
of her blog and her photographs.
Her work is beautifully styled, her subject matter
of floral compositions aligns with my taste.
All photos will be taken with my iPhone and posted to my
Instagram account.
Our home is always a work in progress.
I am always changing furniture and small things around.
First of all, it feels new, it feels fresh.
I love change, I love the challenge of learning new ideas,
whether it's in decorating, crafting, traveling or photography.
I just love learning, seeing new things,
I will never stop being curious.
Oh my, Claire is excited about going to Hawaii
for her spring break next week.
We bought her several dresses in Thailand.
Jeremy and Julie had her model ours and the other two she will wear.
She already has a sense of style and as well
as a wonderful sense of humour when it comes to modelling.
We have been home for a week already.
We have had sunshine, rain and snow.
It seems to still be quite cool, probably I am just missing
the warmth and sunlight.
Going to the garden centre is such a happy experience.
Bringing home a few primulas brightens up
any space.
