Posted at 00:55h in best shot monday, day to day, family, motherhood, photography, shutter sisters by Tracey 38 Comments

As I browse through the many many images I've shot this week and contemplate what to share for Best Shot Monday, it is this self-timer series of my girls and I that stops me in my tracks. No other photograph could ever mean more to me...

"There are lives I can imagine without children but none of them have the same laughter and noise." -Brian Andreas, Storypeople Blink blink. It's Monday again, isn't it? So much has happened in a week it's as if I've come full circle. I guess in a sense...

11 Jul the dance

Posted at 04:33h in everyday bokeh, inspiration, SOOC by Tracey 9 Comments
