So I was going through some old photos recently and it made me realize how many candid moments I HAD of my kids just being kids…that is until a few years ago when I dove into this passion of mine called photography and decided to make it a business. Now those candid everyday moments are far and few between. Now my kids run from me because I abused them with my camera by making them my faithful subjects for every new technique I came across. Well, I have challenged myself to start over and collect those everyday moments once again! They will thank me when they get older I’m sure.
So with that I would like to challenge you to do the same and to make it a little juicier I would like to pose a little contest. Send me your juiciest, funniest, heartfelt everyday moment. It doesn’t have to be perfectly exposed or even in focus but it must evoke some type of emotion. When you send it tell me in one line what it means to you. You have until Monday, March 29 to submit your photos and the winner will receive a gift certificate for a spring fling photo session (value $200) as well as a cool mini album (value $175) to hold those captured moments. Send your photos to tosha@thecapturedlife.com.The winner will be announced here on the blog on Wednesday, March 31.
So if you’re down for the challenge let’s do it! Maybe this will spark something in you to remember to cherish those everyday moments even if you have a box camera from the drugstore, capture it. Here are some of my everday moments that just warmed my heart and made me laugh and smile.
Laid back enjoying some sun. Gotta love it. Makes me warm just looking at it!

My little cousin studying hard as we were getting ready to go to the pool.

They had so much fun together. Gotta get them together more often.

This was so funny! Before wii my kids had a hula hoop contest. They got all the way up in the 100s! Whew


Who needs a car wash when you have this beautiful specimen of a man!
The child has major swagga!
