#every30minforaday [january]

choose a day…

set your alarm to go off every 30 min from the moment you wake till the moment you go to bed…

each time the alarm goes off photograph what you see…

it was a very interesting project, a little snippet of all the day to day things that happen around here that seem so insignificant at the time.  definitely something i will be doing once a month, and i have a few little variations i am going to try out…

if you give it a try, please be sure to check back with me and let me know so i can check out your pics:)
(all these pics were taken with hipstamatic for iPhone and originally shared via instagram.)

Somehow I feel like I know you just by seeing this. Like we are all sharing a part of our reality with each other and recognize the connections. Thank you for posting.

This is so cool, a little voyeuristic (and pervvy) looking into someone elses life but so interesting, haha I like that I am one of your 30 minute shots :) I am going to do this tomorrow!! x

[indulge] ~ kathryn

the latest [indulge] session!!!

here is what Kathryn had to say!

Wow, wow, wow, you are a magician Renee! Realistically, I have grey hair, wrinkles and a little extra padding and on most days feel frumpy and ‘just a mum’.
However, these images made me see the part of me that I rarely feel or see - the happy girl inside. I don’t look at my flaws in these photos, but the great feelings that you helped invoke. I love them so much, and I know that Linden and the girls will love them too. Thank you so much

here is an email that Kate sent me just after her last maternity shoot…

Just want to say a HUGE thank you Renee, for capturing one of the most special times in my life ? It’s hard to believe it’s been 9 months since we started this journey and i’m so so so happy with the results of all of photos. I really think every woman should do this when they are pregnant. It’s amazing to look back on and i’m sure in the years to come i will appreciate it even more!
You have been an absolute pleasure to work with, both professionally and on a friendship level. Your work is quick and amazing and i cannot wait for you to capture our new baby when it’s time xoxox

 

are you interested in documenting your pregnancy journey in this way??  i am currently looking for 1-2 ladies to take part in this project in 2012 so please get in touch to discuss details if you are in the early stages of pregnancy and almost ready to make your announcement at approx 12 weeks…

contact me here ~ i look forward to hearing from you !!
