16/52 Silhouette
I’m going to be honest, Katie and I are getting later and later at taking these self portraits. Usually by Monday we’ve admitted that we haven’t yet done the previous week’s prompt and then desperately seek a solution. I was just in the middle of sending Katie a message yesterday to say that again I hadn’t done it yet, then got distracted, went to brush my teeth, and on the way through to the bathroom I saw some pretty light coming through into the living room. I knew I had a short window so grabbed my tripod and camera, sat on a chair and rolled a few off....with wet hair, un brushed teeth and a large lumpy bruise developing on my brow (see post yesterday for that exciting story). Thank goodness the theme was silhouette, it couldn’t be more timely for my last minute effort, but it was the quickest one I’ve done so far. After, I went back to my computer, deleted the words I’d started typing to Katie and replaced it with “mine is done!”, feeling happy with myself!
Head over to @katiebowenphotography to see her awesome self portrait this week. I love the fact she’s managed to capture herself at work.
This is a 52 week self portrait challenge, using a different prompt each week.
Sorry for the silence insta! This little brand and piece of the internet is in a huge part about giving me an outlet from the chaos of motherhood. It gives me the mental and creative stimulation and just a bit of ‘me’ between being ‘mum’. We had a fantastic and exciting rush of orders which are all now happily with their new owners. But after completion I needed to just take a breath and enjoy some down time with the girls and James. I am so lucky to be able to do that! But we are still here and it’s so nice to be receiving messages with orders despite having had a mini break from social media! Finding the work/life balance is never easy but for us the most important thing is preserving balance and happiness our home 💖keep an eye on the account for a few offers before the weekend! And a massive genuine Thankyou to all our customers who are supporting this journey of ours. #mymotherhood #motherhoodunplugged #mumoftwo #workfromhomemum #sewingmama #meandmygirls #honestmotherhood #getin52 #getintheframe #ukhandmade #handmadeisbest #the_sugar_jar #magicofchildhood

Our time together reconnecting is so important to us both. Our days are super busy with school, sports, homework and playing but we find time almost everyday to spend curled up together with our noses in a book. Even if all you have is five minutes to do this I promise you’ll start making a habit out of it. 📚
Sometimes getting in the frame means an iPhone and a little garage light. And if you can’t get a serious face, just get all the rest. 😂

Spent the afternoon on the greens with this sweet boy. He had a 430 lessons but wanted us to get there at 3 to practice chipping and putting. It’s safe to say this boy works his tail off when he likes something. @donlawgolfacademy

Let's get back into actually posting. I noticed I've never actually introduced myself, so here it goes. My name is Karla and I was named after my mother's father. (When I was younger I used to say I was named for the waitress on Cheers as she was my favorite... Probably says something about me) I'm an ISFP, a Ravenclaw with my pear wood with Phoenix feather core 12 1/2 and quite bendy flexibility wand and my dolphin Patronus, a Libra, and wing 6w5. I'm sure I've done more of these, just don't remember my results. I have been taking pictures since I was tiny (think 2 or 3 years) but didn't actually start this obvious obsession til my now husband got me my first DSLR for my birthday around two weeks before our wedding. I married my college sweetheart after 8 years of dating. I was born and spent the first half of my childhood in a small town in Southern California. I still have a bit of a California accent and consider myself being from there. I have two kids. My son is my safety focused, wants everyone happy, lover of dinosaurs and Batman and animals. My daughter is a risk taker, lover of food, stories, and her brother's stuff. She may or not be a little me. I have been playing video games since I was little. I have no clue when it started but I only completed a video game last year (Lego Jurassic Park and Assassins Creed Unity). I was a journalism major with a minor in film studies in college. I thought I should be a film reviewer for some magazine. Haha yeah still love films but really haven't been to a theatre in over two years. So here's a bit about me, what about you? day seventy-nine // three-six-fivethree-six-five
Morning snuggles are my favorite. Ok, let's be real, any snuggles are my favorite ;) Especially from this crew.

He’s not always into taking pictures with me (obviously, he’s 5!), and almost never lets me video him anymore. But once in a while he’s genuinely into it, and gives me these big heart-melting smiles, and I am reminded why I always bother having a camera around. . . ✨Also want to know my “trick” for boosting their cooperation with picture taking? It’s not really a trick... I just offer them a turn taking the pictures themselves or pressing the remote shutter. They love to be in control and get really silly in front of the camera. And I get 2765 fun (albeit blurry) pictures out of it 😉. . • • • • • #cameramama #dearphotographer #momarazzi #behindthelens #clickinmoms #pixel_kids #momswithcameras #littlephotographer #getintheframe #simplychildren #candidchildhood #documentyourdays #mom_hub #uniteinmotherhood #kidsforreal #our_everyday_moments #childofig #mytinymoments #lifewithboys #boymom #ourcandidlife #thebloomforum #umh_kids #follow_this_light #lightinspired #uniteinmotherhood #littleandbrave #subjectlight #momazine

It's the littlest souls that often leave the biggest holes. I've given her a lot of grief over the years, but she always accepted me for who I was. She was always right there. . . I've had to say goodbye to animals in the past, but this was by far the hardest. She was a fighter, our little old lady, I'll miss you. #koshka . .

There are zero things right about this picture- the light isn’t what I imagined, Reagan isn’t supposed to be photobombing, and balancing my camera on the back of the couch was a bad choice on several levels 😬😬All that aside, though, I caught us having a really good laugh together. And moments like that are why I started taking pictures in the first place...so for me, this one is a total keeper. ❤️📸❤️#youandmekid #forgetperfect #simplewillphoto #cameramama #cville #charlottesvillephotographer #virginiaphotographer #scenes_not_screens #cm_kisses #crozet #crozetva #clickinmoms #getintheframe #our_everyday_moments #bnw_littles #simplychildren #dearphotographer #thesincerestoryteller #thedocumentarymovement #loveva #candidchildhood #p52radness #blackandwhiteisworththefight #csm_shadows #ourcandidlife #getin52 #thegalleryoflightfeature #themonochromaticlens #monochromaticmotherhood #ig_motherhood

The Monday Me. Week 16. I got home from a meeting tonight and she was singing away in her room - when she should have been sleeping. So I snuck in and we set up the camera and spent time together talking about her day. It's grainy and underexposed and has a million things I'd like to nitpick, but none of it matters because it's more about her and me than about perfection. #themondayme2018 ⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ .⠀ #motherhood #spomh #selfportraitsofmotherhood #selfportrait #blackandwhite #getintheframe #makeportraits

HAPPY MONDAY •We had a busy week last week and ended the weekend with a family tennis day. You may be wondering, I didn’t know the Kennans play tennis? Well, we do. Sorta. However, I’m the worst tennis player in the history of ever. ::Think Phillip Seymour Hoffman playing basketball in Along Came Polly:: •Today I woke up with shin splints and sore muscles and was like, why am I so sore? And Kyle said, because we’re old. 👀 •Let me tell ya another thing that’s gettin old. My love hate relationship with my bangs. One thing I’m real good at, no not tennis, is being indecisive about whether to cut or grow dem bangs out. As pictured above-you can see they are at the perfect length of being annoying. #kayathinksim4andthatkyleis10
Someone explain to me how this sweet soul is 2 months away from 6! I can’t believe it, these have been the best years of my life. ❤️
113/365, April 23. Épuisée. This little guy woke me up in the middle of the night because he needed to use the bathroom. He rarely does that. It’s almost impossible for me to fall back asleep once I get up during the night. So today was rough. But I can’t be mad at him. No one loves me more than him. . . . #cameramama #candidchildhood #childhoodunplugged #childrenseemagic #clickinmoms #clickmagazine #documentyourdays #lookslikefilmkids #magicofchildhood #runwildmychild #pixel_kids #simplychildren #the_sugar_jar #thehonestlens #wildandbravelittles #oureverydaymoments #picturethis365 #365photochallenge #jj_mobilephotography #iphone6s #jj_emotional #jj_memories #getin52 #selfportrait #selfie #autoportrait #getintheframe
Not every day is a good one. There will always be struggles, heartache, and days that you just want to crawl into a hole. It’s how you handle those bad days and those struggles that defines you and how it impacts your life. And it’s those days that make the really good days that much better. Today was a REALLY good day. ❤️ Not because we went on some big adventure, or left for vacation or bought a fancy toy. We soaked up the sunshine, went to the park, enjoyed our first picnic of the year and went for ice cream 🍦There was a time when I didn’t know how to truly enjoy these days and these moments. I was so caught up in looking to do or buy the next big thing, without taking the time to be present in the moment. I was so busy being BUSY that I forgot about what was really important. 🤦♀️ Now I’m choosing different. I don’t have more time or less excuses, I just chose to reprioritize the time I do have. They deserve to have the best version of me. Had I not dove into a little thing called personal development (thank you coaching), I know I’d still be in the same spot I was 2 years ago. That mom was over worked, stressed to the max, exhausted, not enjoying the little things and didn’t like who she had become. I chose different. I choose to be more present, more positive and surround myself with people who feel the same.

At the beginning of the month I took this photograph for the #p52radness group theme of heirloom. Every year I make a strawberry glace pie (from a recipe in my grandma's cookbook) for my best friend who passed away in 2010. She was 29 and Died of breast cancer. I like to remember how many hours we spent doing things like sitting in coffee shops playing card games, walking around the same block for hours just talking, swing dancing, and beginning motherhood within months of eachother. This photo also has heirlooms passed down from her, and both sets of my grandparents. #jj_forum_2231 #selfportrait #getintheframe #heirloom #teatime #moodygrams #portraiture #igmasters #momtog #liveauthentic #aov #aov5k #pdxphotographer #slowlife #lightinspired #inspiredbylight #withoutyou
Zoo day with my girly girls- I think we got more stares than some of the animals. Madi glared right back. #alexandriazoo 📸- @britty1574
A little self portrait of my wee adventurer and I on one of our many outdoor treks through the woods. I used to absolutely cringe when someone would turn the camera towards me. I have never ever had a camera ready smile. So I would avoid getting in the frame at all costs. Hiding behind someone or covering my face. Does that sound familiar to you? . All that changed when my baby brother passed away. I was tasked with sorting through all the family photos for his funeral and I was struck by how few of them pictured us together. It breaks my heart that I don’t have many photos of our memories together, of the goofy joking around or playing Mario together. It hit me like a ton of bricks and really made me think about why photos are so important. . If I left this earth tomorrow...what would my family , and now more importantly my daughter, have to look back on? I realized then that photos aren’t for us. We can enjoy them but really, they are a legacy for those that love us most. What would happen when I’m no longer around. What would I leave behind for my loved ones? . So now, even when I’m not feeling my best, I get in that frame. I want my girl to know our story. To be reminded of the adventures we had together. That I was there too. . Get in the frame mamas. Your kids will want those photos of you to share with their own kids...and grandkids...and great grandkids. So they too can share in the stories, the laughter and the love. ❤️ . #momentsmatter #getintheframe #leavealegacy

I won't always cry, mommy when you leave the room And my supermarket tantrums will end too soon I won’t always wake, daddy For cuddles through the night And one day you will miss having a chocolate face to wipe You won’t always wake to find my foot is kicking you out of bed Or find me sideways on your pillow where you want to lay your head You won’t always have to carry me in asleep from the car Or piggy back me down the road when my little legs can’t walk that far So cherish every cuddle Remember them all Cause one day, mommy I won’t be this small.. . . . . . . #monday #twinningiswinning #howiclick #dearphotographer #dearestviewfinder #thesincerestoryteller #mymotherhood #momstaysinthepicture #getintheframe #ohheymama #mynameismama #alittlebeautyeverday #joyfulmama #mylifewithkids #thepursuitofjoyproject #holdthemoment #feelfreefeed #littlestoriesofmylife #realmomtogs #ourcandidlife #thelifestylecollective #let_there_be_delight #ourlifeinsquares #theheartcaptured #thatsdarling #pursuepretty #the_camera_clique #vsco #vscoportrait #vscokids

Her Story | I have kinda fallen off of the self portrait train. There is not much that I can stand in my reflection right now, let alone a photo of myself for others to see. My original motive was to help see myself as something beautiful. To be honest, I see it even less now than I ever have before. That has to change. __________ Image by @alizabethgracephotography Curated by @ladybecken Tell us your #photographer_stories . . . #selfportrait #selflove #personalproject #getintheframe #honest #mood #thisisme #documentaryphotography . #ps_alizabethgracephotography

Day 1 ✅ Have you thought about what’s on your priority list? As a woman and a mom, I can tell you that mine USED to look like this... Kids Nick Work Family and friends Faith Having a clean and orderly house I’d work long hours or pick up more hours just to make things work around here. Financially we were struggling, emotionally we were struggling and physically I was spent. 🤦♀️ But I kept doing it because being busy kept me from thinking about the changes I needed to make. It meant I’d have to admit that what I was doing wasn’t working. #ihatebeingwrong Did you notice that I didn’t list myself on that list? Why do we do that as women and moms? Dads and guys do it too, but I think women have a tendency to think it’s selfish to take care of themselves first. Let me in on a little secret. You cannot take care of others to the fullest of your ability if you can’t not taking care of yourself first 👌 Sweating it out comes easier to me now that my cup is more full and I finally added myself to my list. It’s the eating part that’s harder for me to control. Do you find it easier to workout or eat healthier, or do you struggle with both? Are you prioritizing yourself on your list? #prioritizeyourself #nevermissamonday #motivationmonday . . . . . #motherhoodintheraw #igmother #beyondmotherhood #joyfulmamas #motherhoodsimplified #mamafit #igmom #clickinmom #vscomom #foodiemom #getintheframe #cleanfoodie #foodiemama #momof3kids #motherhoodrising #motherhoodsimplified #motherof3 #beyoutiful #positivemom #joyfulmama #sisterhoodovercompetition

#Repost @hodindonesia with @get_repost ・・・ We hope your Monday is as happy as hers is! 🤗 . . . . . . I finally got in the frame with my baby... and I’m so happy I did. ❤️ I shot this for @hodindonesia. I have the privilege of working with this wonderful small business here in Indonesia. Check them out! Their blankets and kimonos are so soft and stylish! And you may see a lot my girls, since they’re my most available models. 😉 And the best part is their vision: leading Indonesian women out of positions of strife to place of hope by providing training and employment that empowers them to rise above difficult circumstances.
#P52 Photographers Choice; Kids weren't something I gave much thought to. I wasn't the type of gal to fantasy about my future husband & kids, wraped up neat in a white picket fence. In all honesty I always thought myself to impatient, selfish & stubborn to be a mother. I never got that overwhelming feeling of love for my babes, for a long time I thought I was defective & lacked some mothering instinct. But I've realized two things over the years; 1- I like a lot of space to breathe & need downtime to recharge after social interaction. Raising my children is no different. & 2 - I'm not defective. Sure I'm not the overly maternal type who gushes at newborns & mourns the lost of their childs baby years but I want to make sure they're happy & have the best even though they don't always like what's good for them. I genuinely love connecting with them on things they like & when I look at them I get that primal instinct to protect at all cost. . . . #getintheframe #motherhood #portrait #aportraitcollecti #portraitphotography #childhood #memories #selfportraitsofmotherhood #2018CMP52 #boymom

I recently had the absolute privilege of documenting a large family that, in my humble opinion, really knows exactly what family means. They are so special. They are big, beautiful, fun, and so very present with their kiddos. And each one of those kiddos acts and models. It’s wonderful! And they are such genuine and good people. It was such a privilege! I enjoyed every second. ❤️

Happy 🌏 Day!!! Getting outside and enjoying nature is one of our favorite pastimes, so I thought we should document it. Since I’m on my THIRD broken tripod, I decided to do a handheld selfie with my lil’ chica. Honestly, the raw, close-up images didn’t do much for my self esteem. That’s one high-powered lens!😂 Full disclosure: I did some skin smoothing here. Though I did leave my wrinkles, I definitely worked on them and made my pores a little less severe. This whole self-acceptance thing is a *process* people. I’m working on it...slowly but surely. Hopefully I get some points for telling the truth?! #p52radness . . . . . . . #getintheframe #getin52 #momstaysinthepicture #projectjustyouandmebabe #cc_iwastheretoo #tcp_iambeautiful #portraitsofme #mynameismama #getinthephoto #authenticallytold #thesincerestoryteller #tslu_in_the_frame #thenarrativesociety #emotionalstorytelling #braveportraits #bestofmom #a_beautiful_you #p52clicks #selfportrait #selfportraitsofmotherhood #embracingself #therainbowmovement #artofselfportraiture #theslowphotographymovement #selfportraitsofmotherhood #cm_getintheframe #beunraveled #thehairmemoirs #pho_mom_grapher
My first free lensed self portrait : : Welcome to our #self_love_sunday_loop I have teamed up with a group of other talented artists, whom all share a passion for photography. We all agree how important photography is to us, but also the importance of seeing ourselves in our art. We are encouraging each other to dig into our creativity through a series self portraits. We hope you follow along with us on this journey. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••• Next up is the lovely: @aubreybahr_storyteller : : : : #ourcandidlife #magicofchildhood #momtogs #pixel_kids #theheartcaptured #simplychildren #my_magical_moments #thelifestylecollective #thedocumentarymovement #themindfulapproach #thesincerestoryteller #thenarrativesociety #thefreelensed #pocketsweetness #runwildmychild #inbeautyandchaos #childhoodunplugged #candidchildhood #wildandbravelittles #childrenseemagic #lookslikefilmkids #dearphotographer #letthemexplore #wilderness_kids #thefreelensed #the_freelensed_project #project_faceless #clickinmoms #cm_prep #storytellingmama

Hi there! It’s been a while since I got in the frame, but these windows at a local elementary school gave me a chance. I met the family after my mini sessions and big brother played defense at his soccer game across the way while Adeline ran non-stop around the playground. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After going a little crazy with succulents this past week, it’s time to start planting outside! Do you have a garden? What are you growing this year? . . . . . . #documentyourdays #thedocumentarymovement #getintheframe #getin52 #cc_iwastheretoo #candidchildhood #cameramama #dear_photographer #clickinmoms #shamoftheperfect #thefamilynarrative #mainlinefamilyphotographer #phillyfamilyphotographer #thenarrativesociety #cm_getin52 #jjitskids_moms #jj_its_kids #magicofchildhood
We are ending the weekend on a high. It’s been filled with fun adventures and catch ups with dear friends & family. We also welcomed a lovely new addition (of the plant variety) to our family which we named Phoenix (he will be making his first official insta appearance in the coming weeks. Such a jam packed weekend has made this mama tired, and I’ll be soon calling it a night, wishing you a fabulous week ahead! #snapsofhunter #coi_mamamonday

I’m lucky enough to have a family who doesn’t mind mind me taking photos of them but also actually enjoys taking photos themselves. How lucky am I!? For those who don’t know, this is myself with my ‘baby’. He’s my little shadow. #existinphotos #getintheframe #youreimportant

Cremona, is really a lovely place. It was the quiet Monday morning, not many tourists, the best time to enjoy many Italian cities because most shops are closed in the morning. _________ I took my first plane journey in 1990. I was coming to Italy to live with my mother after nearly five years apart. I lost my favourite dress, which I had in my tiny suitcase, at Dusseldorf International airport because, like a real diva, I assumed that the taxi driver would put the bag in the booth for me. That was my first lesson: never assume. #toitravels #toiworldliving __________ • • • • . #purposedrivenlife #jesusislordj #seekthesimplicity #thepursuitofjoyproject #liveauthentic #livethelittlething #_a_beautiful_you #tcp_iambeautiful #dearphotographer #p52radness #seekinspirecreate #t_c_c_thisisme #documentyourdays #featuremama #count_itjoy #theheartcaptured #momtogs #getintheframe #getin52 #ig_motherhood #galleryoflightfeature #selfportraitmotherhood #thehonestlens #faithalone
