Just Us Twelve Times | August

The makings of a Just Us photograph…

Step 1:  My trusty (and handsome) subject helps me test the light…

Just Us-1

Step 2:  Add kids.  General mayhem ensues..

Step 3:  Cross fingers and hope you get just one keeper – I think we succeeded this month!

Just Us-2

Notice all of that lush green foliage?  You know we’re not in California for this Just Us Twelve Times edition.  These photos were taken on our annual summer visit to my parent’s home in Wisconsin.  One of my mom’s many talents is gardening and we are so lucky to enjoy the fruits of her labor for a few short weeks each year.  This is the backyard where I grew up, and although I’ve lived in California for almost 20 years now, this will always be home.

Speaking of home, this month I’m linking to Melissa Schuett and her cute family who live not too far from my childhood home!

What Light Looks Like

There is nothing better than the beautiful light of summer.  Whether it is the soft pink tones of sunset and little girls playing…

Pink Light
or the bright sunny light of days well spent…

or the lush green found in the beautiful places we visited this summer…
Green Light
or the peaceful blue tones of water and summer skies…
Blue Light #2
or the night lights that linger…
Night Light 2
It is the light that inspires me and summer magic happens when the light, my subject and the environment all come together in a special way.  Please join me in exploring how light is viewed by the other women of our “What … Looks Like” series, starting with the beautiful and thoughtful work of Pamela Joye, Northshore Boston.

p.s. all but one of these images were captured on my phone camera, can you figure out which one is the exception?!
