Bay Area Photographer | Fifty-two Fridays | Broken

This has been a crazy week here in Danville for our family,  full of end-of-the-year school activities, a day of Hot Mama head shots, and getting everything ready for my daughter’s Sweet 16 party tomorrow.  Whew!  I’ll need a vacation if I survive that!

With this week’s theme of Broken, I had a little bit of a brain freeze.  I didn’t really want to shoot anything too depressing or have to break something just to get the shot for this week.  I suppose I could have shot the shattered Corningware lid that my son accidentally dropped as he was emptying the dishwasher, but I was too busy cleaning the shards of glass to think about taking a picture.  So, when I took the boys to the pool at the end of a very long day this week, I looked at the still, glassy, untouched surface and thought, “It’s a shame the boys are going to jump into the pool and break the tranquility of the water.  It’s so pretty with the sun setting right now.”  DING DING DING.  So I held them back for a minute while I set up the shot and knew I had to get it right the first time.  This was a one shot opportunity.  Here’s the result:

Now, be sure to check out my very talented friend Val Spring | Red Balloon Photography Seattle Photographer to see what she had to break to get this week’s shot!

And if you missed last week’s custom album cover design, you can take a peek over HERE.  It was a fantastic week for our circle of photographers!

Happy Weekending!

And stay tuned for a few sneak peeks of some Hot Mamas this weekend.
