Boise Children’s Photographer | 10 on 10, Take 1

Not too long ago, another photographer (who happens to also be my very best friend) asked me if I’d join her in a new photography project in the new year. Ginger was looking for something to challenge and inspire her, and the 10 on 10 concept had caught her eye. It’s personal work – something I value tremendously. The idea? Once a month, take ten photos over the course of ten hours. Really document a day. A group of ten of us will then post them on the tenth.

Now, I’m no stranger to a personal photography project. I’m wrapping up my second 365 (this one for Ruby) in less than two weeks! I’m used to the camera hanging around my neck wherever we go. But capturing an entire day was, well . . . a challenge. I enjoyed it, though, and I’m already looking forward to round two.

I decided to kick off this special project on a special occasion: Daddy’s birthday. The girls and I were home for winter break, so we were able to spend most of the day preparing for it. They love birthdays, and parties, and any reason at all to celebrate. After an early bath (get that out of the way so we can focus on BIRTHDAY!), the girls got started. Ruby did spend some time trying on underpants before the true party prep commenced – she’s not ready to wear them full time yet, but oh she’s trying. And not even two!

The girls made crowns for all of us to wear, adorned Daddy’s gifts with stickers, and made extra-special decorations to hang throughout the day. When Daddy got home, we all went for a walk/wagon ride, and then home for them to give him his presents. Wrapped up the day with dinner at their favorite restaurant, complete with an ice cream cupcake that Daddy was more than willing to share.

  1. As usual, your family shots are beautiful. What a perfect day to choose for this. I love the color and processing, the crafts, and the ice cream shot. My favorite has got to be Ruby trying to see those underpants past her belly.
