Every now and then you see an image of your child that really reveals something. When I pulled this image up on my screen to edit it, my husband looked over and said, "WOW, she looks like she's seven". She's not, she's four (five in 3 weeks). But, he was right. I'm so busy snuggling her, and protecting her and loving her, that I rarely step back and look at her. She is still just my baby, the same one I brought home from the hospital what feels like just yesterday. But seeing her in this image I was reminded that indeed my "baby" is growing up, she is shedding her munchkin little by little for the skin of a big girl. I love her and I love being able to see her!
I would also like to encourage all of you to pop on over to our facebook page and share an image of your child that really spoke to you. What did it say?

There is something about the connection between siblings that pulls at my heartstrings like no other. This image from Momtographer Melanie Ladner is no exception! This morning's Monday Munchkin is dedicated to sibling love. Though it often comes with lots of mediating fights, bickering over who gets to wear the favorite sweater today, and way too much laundry, moments like this are worth it all!
I would also like to encourage all of you to pop on over to our facebook page and leave a little note of encouragement for our AMAZING Adrienne (the other half of the momtographers) as she prepares to welcome the newest member of her family tomorrow! We wouldn't be us without HER! We love you Adrienne!

Admiration: the act of looking on or contemplating with pleasure
This blog post is dedicated to all the participants of The Momtographers' 365 Project, on day 228, who I so admire.
The project started from a simple status update on our facebook page where I expressed interest in the idea of doing one of these. The response was overwhelming encouragement from our members and a desire to come along and do it with me. So, as the new year drew closer I thought, "why not?" and I started a page for myself and anyone else who wanted to join in.
Since that day I have been completely amazed at the dedication and growth of our participants. Those of you who have attempted a 365 know that it is no easy feat, yet so many in our group are continuing on. Through personal struggles, family issues, travel, death, sickness and childbirth they continue. They continue where not even I could. I want to say that I am proud, but that would give me some amount of credit for their accomplishments, and they deserve it all, so instead I say I admire them.
Ladies to you this post is dedicated. Continue on. Strive for the finish line. You have crossed the halfway point. You have all grown so much in both your relationships and your skill. You deserve to feel the satisfaction of completion!
I admire your dedication and I encorage ALL of our readers to stop by and like the page, drop a little note, like any marathon these runners will feed off your energy and support!
CHEERS!
Enjoy a highlight of just SOME of the amazing images being posted everyday! To see the rest drop by The Momtographers' 365 Project.
This morning's Monday's Munchkin is a special request from one of our most dedicated momtographers, Ivana Klavis. Her very dear friend's absolutely ADORABLE little munchkin Kiara, is turning two on Saturday and she asked that we honor her birthday with a MM spot. With a smile like this how could we help, but say yes!
Happy Early Birthday Kiara, and Happy Monday Momtographers!

Metering- Exposure Basics
Written by Krista NjapaMetering: The process of taking a light reading from a given area to determine what your camera settings should be for proper exposure of that area.
I remember my "Ah Ha!" moment very distinctly. It hit me one sunny afternoon while I was sitting on my couch, doing nothing in particular. I was several months into taking photography seriously and had spent countless hours pouring over every tutorial I could find. Suddenly everything I had been reading came crashing together in my mind, and from it a VERY useful piece of information floated to the top.
Getting my dial to center on my meter did NOT equal perfect exposure. Say What?!
Being that I have a little loquoacious little firecracker at home myself, they hold a special place in my heart! A big thank you to Momtographer Lea Hartman for sharing her sweet niece Alli, who, can apparently out run and out talk the best big kid on the playground! Watch out now! :)
Happy Monday!
