Day 6....

So today I'm feeling a little bit bored

and amused at the smallest things. Like

putting "lalalaaaaa" in the caption of

this post...I thought was hilarious.

Ask me why...I have no idea.

Here it is. My photo for day 6!

6/360

Who can guess what this is?? The first one 

with the correct answer gets to spend a day with me! 

haha that'd be pretty cool, eh? Lucky duck :) 

I got this picture while playing around some more 

with long-exposure type photography. 
Have you tried long-exposure before? 

How'd it work out? Feel free to send me a picture, 

I'd love to see your work! 

I hope you're all doing well!

Happy Snapping,
Emily :)

Day 5 :)

5/361

My picture for day number 5 is very different from 

my usual work. Today as I was on my way to church, 

I got to witness this little act of kindness 

in my small town of Belmont. 

As the van was backing out of its driveway, 

it stalled right in the middle of the street. 

This car ahead stopped and the man jumped out to help. 

Not a minute later a few more bystanders came running 

out of their homes to help push the car safely to the 

side of the road.  

It's the small things like this, that truly show us that 

there is still a lot of good left on this earth.

I hope everyone enjoyed their weekends and is ready to 

start another great week!

Happy Snapping,

Emily :)

Day 4; Learning to see through new eyes...

As I sat here tonight cuddling with my puppy after a 

long day, I began thinking about this project and how 

I'm learning to look at things from a different 

perspective. Not a minute later

I just happened to glace 

down at my coffee table and this idea 

popped into my mind. :) Enjoy!

Next time you're "bored", try looking at the 

things you're used to in

a new way. You'd be surprised all the beautiful 

sitting around

 that you miss on a daily basis. 

Hope you're all enjoying the snow!

Happy Snapping!

Emily :)

Here's my chilly work from day 3!

Today can only truly be described by 

one word; FREEZING.

I took this photo in the late afternoon 

when the temperature out was 

a frigid 3 degrees.

   3/363

Absolutely the coldest day in a very long time.

This picture is a perfect testament of

today in the sense that it 

shows of Jack Frosts handy work.

Nice job today, Jack. Well played.

The only thing I have left to say for now 

is that I hope you and yours managed to 

stay warm and toasty today,

and will remain that way throughtout

this cold, (too cold) winter.

Wishing you all the best.

Happy Snapping!

Day 2 of 365 :)

 

Today was crazy in the sense that unlike 

most times I do a shoot,

when the subject is usually either 

someone who can sit still, or a mountain

which is already pretty good and steady....

I should have known as I was bribing my 

2 year-old puppy with his favorite treat, it was 

going to get interesting. 

Meet my favorite four-legged little pup, Charlie! 

2/364

After an hour of chasing him around the house and feeding him about 10 peppermint candies...he finally

laid down and was beginning to cooperate.

Although he isn't looking, I adore how this
picture looks. For me, there are

two reasons in particular I love this. 

One, it portrays the Charlie I know and love. He's such 

a hyper little guy, always looking 

around for the next bit of trouble to get

 into or someone to play with;

 never sitting in one spot for long, (unless he's sleeping). 

:) And two, it brings me right back to the 

reason I started this project

and why I love photography so much.

I love to capture those moments that we miss much too 

often due to our busy lives. The moments 

that make us stop and realize what 

a truly beautiful world we live in. All those 

beautiful awe inspiring moments that too often
pass us by, none of which should
go unnoticed a second longer.

I truly hope you enjoy reading this blog, as I am very 
much enjoying 

creating it to share with you all.

Any questions or comments, 

feel free to send me an email or comment below.

Happy Snapping!

PS:

Here's a peak of another project I was working on today:

Just a bit of fun with long-exposure and my iPhone flashlight :)

Day one of my 365 Project complete!

1/365
January 1st, 2014

This photo was taking at sunrise on Lake Winnisquam 
in New Hampshire. 
For my first day on this year-long journey, I 
really threw myself into it.
I woke up bright and early, went trucking through 
the snow then sat and waited 
for my perfect moment.
Even though it was a chilly 5 degrees out there, 
it was really beautiful watching 
the sun peak up over the trees and onto the lake. 
What a perfect way to start my Project. 


What does this picture look like to YOU at first glance? 
Thinking about starting your own Project and need some help?

Happy Snapping!

Happy New Year's Eve!

I'm going to start by saying that I can't BELIEVE 
2014 is here! When did that happen?? What are 
your plans tonight and how are YOU ringing in 
the New Year? Any new or exciting endeavors 
you're looking forward to?

For me, 2013 was filled with so many new 
adventures that as sad as I am to see it come to 
a close, I know that 2014 will be even better!

Now that Christmas is over and the snows really 
starting to pile up I have one thing on

my mind: Spring begins in 3 months! YAY!

I have some pretty big things planned for 2014. 
The biggest one, and the one I'm most excited

about, is the start to my first Protect 365!

For those of you who don't know, "Project 365" is 
a great way to add creativity as well as 

gets you looking more at the things round you differently, 
as well as gets your mind going with new

ideas that keep your photography new and exciting. 
So for the next 365 days, I

will be documenting 1 picture a day and posting it to 
this blog, for you all to see! 

So feel free to comment with ideas, questions, 
or with help starting your own Project! 

In this next year, make every *snap* of your camera count. 
Every day that goes by, do something worthwhile. 
Stop and take in the beauty around you, hug 
the ones you love, and truly live the life 
you desire most. It's out there waiting, you just 
have to make the first step. In this New Year, 
do what you love most. Take that step.

From my little family to yours, 

Have a Happy and Blessed New Year. 

Let's make it count.
