Elainie Homecoming Ch. 6

This is normally the time when I reflect on how my work from home week went this week. But I don’t really have anything to share this week. The main bonus I got from working from home this week is that I had a couple customers I had to work with outside of normal work hours. I didn’t have to hang around the office and wait to work with them. I just took a nap and did some yardwork, then I came back in and dealt with them.

I will get into details of the Master Playlist next Friday. I’m sure.

+++++++

Time once again to check in with pictures that were triggered by Elainie coming home last September. It is possible that I might be almost done with the 2019 backlog next week. More realistically, it will be the week after.

Here are some more pictures to enjoy:

Yep, there is even more Stenslands in the hopper. So many Stenslands.

The 2019 Howards – Subset Cuatro

Time for yet another collection of images from the 2019 Howard Family Photo Shoot. With this collection I am now over half-done curating the photos from this collection. The final collection will actually be a small one. Very small depending on what I do with the port-a-potty pictures that Jesse made us take.

This is your reminder that this week’s THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme is RULE OF THIRDS:


WEEK 244 - RULE OF THIRDS
RULE OF THIRDS

Think of RULE OF THIRDS like this:

The image is broken into 9 equal boxes. Place the subject of your image on one of the corners of the center box. NOT inside the middle box.

The subject could also go along one of the the 4 lines that go through the inside of the image. BUT not in the center of any of the middle boxes.

The reveal picture should be very helpful.

Happy photo harvesting!

Elainie Homecoming Ch. 5

Here in the 5th set of pictures triggered into existence by Elainie’s homecoming last September, Elainie makes a reappearance.

But there are also quite a few pictures of Alexis, Kupono, and Kanoa.

Of course, plenty of Sabas in this collection as well!

You’d think that we were halfway through all the Stensland photos, but we’re just warmed up now. So much more Stensland in our future!

The 2019 Howards – Subset Tres

We are really getting down to the nitty gritty of the 2019 backlog. Yet, at the same time, we have a really long ways to go. With that in mind, you’ll probably see lots of the Howards in the next several days. Not as many Howards as Stenslands, but still lots of Howards.

Here is the third set of images from the 2019 Howard Family Photo Shoot:

A & P #3

This is the final collection of images from my annual photo shoot with Scottie D.’s progeny. It feels like it was a little shorter than normal because it was freezing out there. The actual temperature, plus a pretty stiff breeze. The longer we were out there, the colder it got. Or maybe that is just the hypothermia talking.

The last collection:

With the conclusion of the curation of this collection of pictures, all that is left in the backlog are senior pictures, Howard, and Stenslands. Many, many, many Stenslands!

Senior Sunday – Taylan – Volume 4

I need to start this post buy wishing all mothers out there a very happy Mother’s Day. Take this picture of a Mother’s Day Peony as my way of saying thanks for all that you mothers do!


Mother's Day - 2020

My Mom’s Mother Day wasn’t typical. Teresa bought some Pizza Ranch chicken and we hung out and watched Netflix. She went out to Carla’s for a short grill-out in the evening. But I’m sure she still considered a successful Mother’s Day.

Hope all you mothers had a successful Mother’s Day too!

+++++++

Today is Becca’s birthday. Happy birthday Becca!

Baby Triforce 1st Birthday Party – Gamma

The third and final collection of pictures from the Miller Triplets birthday party. I know, I’m sad about it too. Who knows when I’ll be able to get adorable triplet pictures again. Hold on to these times my friends.

It could be a long time before I see any of these people again, so I guess Laura’s Snapchat stories and Becca and Bethany’s Instagram posts will have to be enough for now.

This is your reminder that this week’s theme for THE WEEKLY PHOTO CHALLENGE theme is EMOTIONS:



EMOTIONS

An EMOTIONS pictures is pretty simple. It is just a picture of somebody or something showing an EMOTION(S) or even a picture of something that stirs EMOTIONS in you would also work.

I get the notion that this might not be as popular of a theme. I’ve had zero submissions to this point. The last couple of weeks I have had a handful of submissions by now.

Get on it!

And.

Happy photo harvesting!
