10 on 10: november edition

Welcome to our november edition of 10 on 10!

New to 10 on 10? Here's the rundown: 10 photographers from around the US post
10 pictures in a day of their lives on the 10th day of every month. We link to each other's post so you'll be able to complete the circle of 10. 

This is our third month and it's been alot of fun so far!

This month I was forced to mix things up a bit. I traveled to my parent's house in Texas for a week  (We live in Cali) and I wasn't able to  bring my "fancy" camera with me. I had to use my iPhone camera instead.
Not very "professional" but I made do. It did make me get out of my comfort zone  and see things from a different perspective. While not professional pictures by any means it did help me capture those moments that I had with my parents and my daughter with her grandparents. Oh, And the phone was MUCH easier to carry around then lugging my "fancy" camera. I probably ended up with much more "in the moment" shots by using my phone, which, of course, I love.

time for a little morning walk with grandma g

ahhh.... the self-portrait


one of my favorite things in my parent's house. Even though it's not in the house I grew up in my mom's sewing machine reminds me of all the Barbie clothes, pillows and outfits she sewed for me. It is a piece of  "home" for me.


gotta love real texas bbq for lunch

visiting the local science museum


time for a round of golf with grandpa (even if it's only one hole)


 getting ready for a simple dinner




a little coloring before bedtime
(Can you tell who is spoiled at grandma & grandpa's?)




and finally the end of the day, watching a texas thunderstorm roll in.

The sun loved it... and so did I!

And little m was just the best baby ever. Went with the flow and everything!!

more of ms. j

If you missed the sneak peeks of ms. j check back here.

Ms. j was so much fun to practice on. She was game for anything. The only 
thing that didn't cooperate was the setting sun. I would have liked to take a lot more
shots of this gorgeous girl in the beautiful light but unfortunately we only had an hour before
the sun ducked behind the mountains. 

More next time, right J?
