Every artist needs a personal project every now and then â or even a continuous project that is ongoing all the time. Something that we can work on individually to learn through doing, ignite inspiration from within and ultimately, grow as a photographer so that our work can improve both personally and professionally. Iâve decided to challenge myself along with Click it up a Notch and Shutterbag USA in a June photo challenge. The challenge: to photograph your everyday life each day for the month of June. This is an Instagram challenge, but I wanted to share some of my images here with you all. If you want to follow along on Instagram, you can do so with #clickaday and please donât forget to follow me @dephotodesign!
Yesterday, after we got home from a charity event that I was photographing for the Childrenâs Hospital of Michigan, our little princess decided that it was a perfect day to go on a nap strike. So, since my husband was washing his car in the driveway, I sent her out in one of the most adorable swimsuits I found this year to âhelp daddyâ wash his car. Since she proved very quickly to not be a gigantic help to him â at less than 2 1/2 years old, of course she wasnât going to be really helpful! â I had a genius idea of having her wash her little tikes push car next to daddy in the driveway. The result â a whole bunch of great images which I will forever cherish.
