52 on Friday, Week 2: Refreshing {Cincinnati Lifestyle Photographer}

“Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o’clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.” – Barbara Jordan

Nothing I can think of refreshes a screaming toddler like a nap. Now if only the boys would lay down for a bit every day, I’d be set. 😉

All taken with my 35mm 2.0 lens. Which is my one of my favorite lenses for single child subjects (such a fun perspective!) but probably not the best choice for stealth, as it sounds like an angry swarm of hornets when it focuses… I got only two shots fired before she popped her eyes open.

The 52 on Friday series is part of yearlong project with a wonderful group of ladies from The Bloom Forum. Check out the next photographer in the circle  – Lindsey Stuckey with Jack and Janie Photography has some adorable, colorful pictures waiting for you on her site.

  2. Oh these are perfect, your quote is very fitting, the shots of her yawning are adorable!

  3. I absolutely love this series! All the details and yawns and expressions! Thanks for the info on the lens, too. That’s one I would like in my arsenal! And sleep was all I could think about this week as “refreshing” but there has been precious little of that happening around here!

  4. I love everything about these! Love the quote and how the series of images tie it together. You’ve done a great job capturing your little girl’s personality!

    I love these! And whole-heartedly agree that nap time refreshes kiddos and mommas alike. 😉

  6. Love love love these! Those yawns are precious! And, I totally agree that it would be great to take a nap every day. Now that my boys don’t nap anymore, I sure do miss taking one with them–ha!
