You know how they joke about mechanics cars? Well I am a photographer’s
partner. I think the last time Justin took photos of me was when I was pregnant
with Jarvis. Then this week I got two separate shoots! One of my new hair, and
one of my new skirt. So I thought I would take images of this momentous
occasion. Besides that, I love watching Justin work, he gets so serious.
Jodi over at Che
and Fidel has inspired me to pick up my camera and turn the focus
inward. Since I already take 100s of photos of my children each week, so I
thought I would twist the idea a little. What I never seem to get is group
shots, images of the family together, whether it is my two children, Tamika and
Jarvis, or me with the kids, or shots of Justin and I. So I am going
to challenge myself to get one image of "my family" per
week.
Oh it would be so nice having a partner who didn't mind snapping a shot or two for the blog!
ReplyDeleteBut I know what you mean...my poor husband has a nurse for a wife...his ailments have to be REALLY bad to garner any attention!
I don't normally get Justin to take photos, bit much when he has spent a 14 hour day photographing a wedding to then ask him to take photos of me for my blog. Ha, I can just imagine your poor hubby bleeding to death and you just yell at him to put a band aid on it.
DeleteDose Justin have a brother? I need a guy like that! And you look fabulous <3
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yes Justin does have a brother, looks nothing like him, but is an absolute sweet heart.
DeleteOh what I wouldn't do to have someone who was around during convenient hours to help with pics. Hubby heads off early in the morning, home in the arvo, so it only leaves the occasional snippet of time when the kids are napping on the weekend to seize the opportunity.
ReplyDeleteI use the tripod or Tamika. It is normally a momentous occasion for Justin to take photos of me.
DeleteAh, that sounds like the plumber's wife! Or the builders wife! Love your new hair and your new skirt! You need to share his photos here too! Would love to see his work!
ReplyDeleteYou're gorgeous! xxx
But by the looks of it your partner (husband) is the exception! If you click on the Jam logo on my blog it takes you to Justin's website. But I have been thinking of doing a post on his work, he has so many amazing images.
DeleteCool idea to do a portrait a week!
ReplyDeleteI can take no credit for the photo a week it is all the Lovely Jodi over at Che and Fidel. I just took a slant on her idea and opted to do family portraits.
DeleteLovely new hair colour and very pretty fresh Spring coloured skirt.
ReplyDeleteSo happy you have had a good result from the doctor...sigh of relief !!
Have you found somewhere to live or are you just packing and hoping to find something quickly ?
I am loving the hair as week, I now had it a week and a half and it keeps changing hue with each wash.
DeleteAmazing result from the doctor, massive happy dance.
Found some where to live today....
I don't know how he can resist taking more shots of you!! x
ReplyDeleteHA! Thank you. But I do get it. On Sunday he spent 12 hours plus photographing a wedding. Monday doing cast and crew and performance of I Am Here ( https://www.facebook.com/events/429329560513599/) His days are long, and don't forget all of post production editting, so I can only imagine how tedious it would b to have me demanding to take images for my blog all of the time
DeleteYou are so lucky to have a photographer as a hubby, you should definitely make him take photos of you more often :P
ReplyDeleteI am LOVING the pattern on this skirt, I just added a whole heap of skirts in this style to my wardrobe - and now need to find some tops for them!
I tend to stick to a basci singlet or long sleeve t, but am always looking at alternatives. Let me know what you find.
