where has february gone? it seems to have just flown by. but i guess, really, every month seems to feel that way. here’s a bit of what our everyday-kind-of-days in february looks looked like…
as with every month, four trips to the horse farm / petting zoo. always a new friend or two. and many old friends.
the new barn kitten had an eye infection, but my kids loved all over him anyways. and a rat got loose but didn’t go far from his hairless friend.
fighting for attention.
falling off the new horse.
and bravely getting right back on.
barn windows.
the reptile room — one of his favorites.
tire swing at the farm.
his new walking path.
feeding.
the aviary.
my boy.
dirty feet — more often than not.
boat ride with friends.
seeing dolphin along the way.
our almost-private island.
heading home.
hands off!
a visit with jen.
and shooting with jen.
one minute up | the next minute upside-down.
sky and ryder with my camera.
twisted.
few quick photos during our shoot.
balancing act.
trip to the state fair.
building the snail a home of shells.
which ended with the boy yelling in the girl’s ear and the girl giving a throat punch.
after gymnastics.
portraits with my new lens.
chicken, for the school ‘moosical’.
his first speaking line – ”but others are boiled and made into chicken soup…buccbuuuuuuk.”
the gift she made her best friend, using the separation of cool and warm colors.
peace.

Just a little curious what your new lens might be?? Great images as always. Thank you for sharing…
hi angie,
new lens = lensbaby edge 80
xo, deb
so honest and beautiful.
So beyond blessed to have been a part of your February.
You are amazing, friend.
that horse barn is so amazing. love those kittens. and the photos in the barn windows…love. and that one of ryder on the bench…wow! adore them all really. xo!!!!
your black and whites astound me.
Beautiful work, Deb! Made me want to come live at your house for a month!
Wow the light in these, these are AMAZING! I am completely in love with the mood you captured as well in each of these images. In love with every aspect of your work and your style!
LOVE the black and white “after gymnastics” photograph. Their expressions are beautiful.
Wow, this was such a captivating blog post. Really love all of these. Love your daughter’s blue dress…so beautiful! I don’t know why I take such long breaks from your blog. I get lost in all the posts when I visit.
Exquisite as always! Wondering if the three “portraits with my new lens” were shot in a studio/using a backdrop, or if that look was achieved through camera settings or post-processing. Love them!
love those b&ws especially, deb. love.
hi jen,
thank you. in regards to the three portraits, nothing was done in post-processing except convert to BW. these were done in my house, with a black backdrop.

That’s it. I’m moving in! There are too many amazing images this month. But those black and whites of your kids( and the feet) are probably my favorite. Or your daughter in that sweet blue dress. It’s a toss up.
I spy Jen W! Your challenge each month inspires me to be a better photographer Deb. LOVE your take on everyday things….it’s so unique and pure.
these are just incredible Deb.. wow.. love them all so much.. beautifully done. Beautiful kiddos too.
Amazing every day photography! Just love.
I love seeing this post of yours even month. it’s so pure and beautiful. I love the connection between your youngest two in this project… the special bond you capture … it’s as if they could be twins. love the bw portraits of each child.
I love all the animals that always show up in your pictures, you guys are such kind hearted people. Gorgeous photos again and I loved seeing you, you are so beautiful!
Recently got the Edge 80. It’s quite possibly my favourite lens!
