Winter Fun - Chapman Style

Saturday 25 January 2014

It has been a very cold winter in Ottawa so far. Luckily there have been some really nice days and LOTS of snow.

Having a young toddler really brings out my inner child and I have been having so much fun playing in the snow! Thankfully our little guy loves being outside and playing in the snow; it's actually really hard to get him back into the house.


Oops, sometimes he forgets how cold the snow is and doesn't like when it gets in his face.



 I promise that he actually really enjoyed shoveling the drive way.


My husband is very happy to have someone to make a snow fort with. I have to admit that I was a bit nervous about the tunnel at first, but once I saw how sturdy it was, I was fine.





 Enjoy winter where ever you are!!!!

January Photo Challenge

Monday 20 January 2014

The best part about photography is that there is so much to learn. You could study and practice photography your whole life and would still never learn everything.

Another really important part of being a photographer is finding your own style. I am still struggling to find this - but loving every minute as I get there.

To keep myself motivated and challenged I have joined a group of photographers in a 365 Challenge where you have to take a photo every day. This forces me to keep my camera with me and to capture my daily life. It also pushes me to try things I might not otherwise think to try. I will share some of these images on my blog as I go.

Another challenge I am taking part in is the Rock the Shot Monthly Challenge. This month is Favourite Shot of 2013.

Picking my favourite shot of 2013 was a hard one. I knew that I wanted to use a photo from my personal collection... but which one! I am also bias when it comes to photos of my family because each one is so special to me and in my eyes they are all perfect.

I settled on this photo because not only is it of my most favourite person in the world, my son, but it also brings back memories from our recent trip to PEI.

... plus look at those eyes!!! (unedited... I swear!!)
