Fourth Week of June » Aldergrove Family Photographer

Post #4 of Personal Project 52 weeks. This past week flew by. I can barely remember what I did each day. * Hydrangeas. I love them. They started flowering this week. One of my gardening goals is to have fresh cut flowers inside my home from spring into fall. But especially spring and early spring….

  • Alyssa - i’m loving these posts Karen! so fun. I love the last pic of Noah – that looks familiar πŸ™‚ And Costco is one of our fave places too… the kids love it – and so do I!ReplyCancel

  • Lindsay - Your strawberry makes my mouth water and I love your dinner idea at Costco – talk about easy clean up! πŸ˜‰ I have to laugh that you brought your camera there – a true photographer at heart!ReplyCancel

  • Audrey - love the Costco picture! As my kids got older (and more of them) the older 2 would lay on the bottom of the buggy too! Chin up and mind the fingers in the wheels! (didn’t do it often, but they sure had fun when I let them!)
    Love your idea ’bout the flowers! I hope you succeed!ReplyCancel

  • Joni - YEAH! It’s up πŸ™‚
    love Love LOVE the Costco picture! Mattias sure is looking like the little man; especially in the top right picture.ReplyCancel

  • Pearl - Love your idea of a photo summary of your week. So neat! You can dry your hydrangeas so you’ll still have them in December. (-:ReplyCancel

  • Alicia Louwerse - Cheating on using the Kitchen aid…ha…I don’t think I have ever or will ever “knead” without my kitchen aid. Too lazy.
    I Γ’β„’Β₯ the hydrangeas. If I ever redecorate my bathroom I think I would do flower pictures, etc.ReplyCancel

  • Lynette - This is a great set, Karin. I laughed out loud at the one of Noah telling you to stop. Hilarious. πŸ™‚ReplyCancel

  • Nicole - Awesome …you inspire me! Maybe one day when I have more time, I can do something like this too! hee hee … oh, and using your kitchen aid isn’t cheating ….it’s called being SMART. πŸ™‚ReplyCancel

  • edda - Karin, this is such a fun idea! Love all the photos in the collage.ReplyCancel

third week of June » Aldergrove Family Photographer

Post #3 of Personal Project 52 weeks. We yurted last week. Our first time in yurts. I am a big fan of the yurt. Cleaner, drier, proper mattresses, less crouching means less back issues and yet the whole experience still feels like camping. Trust me it’s not anything luxurious. Overall the trip was a smashing…

  • Tine - Karin!! love these weekly updates πŸ˜‰ your little one is getting so big already.ReplyCancel

  • Joni - Sounds like yurting was a success πŸ™‚ And as always L-O-V-E all the pictures. Considering the camera was still there after 3 days…I think your neighbourhood just got a whole lot safer.ReplyCancel

  • Alyssa - YIKES about your camera! That’s nuts! Glad it’s back in your hands safe and sound though!

    yurting – i love it πŸ™‚ i’m a tad jealous, we’re braving tenting with 3 kids in a couple weeks. hmmmm.ReplyCancel

  • Audrey - ok – I’ve gotta look up what a yurt is. I dislike camping with a crawling baby, thankfully I’ve only had to do that once and it was with Chelsea. Ashley crawled the day we got home from camping! Poor Mattais. Yikes ’bout the camera! Who did the delivery? You should complain or if next time you have something being delivered make specific instructions for them to not leave the parcel. Crazy! Glad it wasn’t stolen. Great pictures!ReplyCancel

  • Rachel - Looks like a great vacation Karin. How was the weather? And eek on the box left on your front porch…glad it turned out OK (and have you noticed a difference?)ReplyCancel

  • Marta - Love it! Thank you again for posting these every week … it’s like a present in my google reader πŸ™‚ReplyCancel

  • Bep - What a story! nice pictures!ReplyCancel

  • Erica Feunekes - That’s a major yikes!! I actually left my camera on our porch last month and as we were driving away, I realized that 2 of our kids had no sweaters with them so I asked Hugo to turn around… Good thing he did…ReplyCancel

Second week of June » Aldergrove Family Photographer

Post #2 of Personal Project 52 weeks. If all goes as planned, we are well on our way on our first camping trip of the year. Depending on how it goes, it also may be our last. A friend of mine calls it β€œmaking memories”. How true. Camping trips are not relaxing when you’re running…

  • Alicia Louwerse - I love the idea Karin, and the photo’s are awesome. My favorite is of you and the boys, definitely a keeper.

  • leona - i just found this post…loving this one too! it’s so true how much we treasure the pics with us moms with our kids – it’s like “hey i was there too!” the pic with you and the boys is beautiful – great capture! You can never have too many homemade cookies and dinky cars πŸ™‚ReplyCancel

  • Bep - Mattias looks like Art in this picture(top Right)ReplyCancel

First week of June » Family Photographer Aldergrove

Post #1 of Personal Project 52 weeks. This is going to be somewhat of a personal project. I love the idea of personal projects but often flounder on the execution. I’m an idea person. My idea is this: every week I’d like to document with photos our daily life. My format will be 1 square…

  • leona - Love this blog idea Karin! here’s hoping that you’ll have the 52 pages you want in a year! You describing Noah reminded me so much of Cody at age 3: lego, cars and trains! It’s a fun age, enjoy πŸ™‚ And that strawberry looks delish πŸ˜€ReplyCancel

  • Sheree - What A great idea!! I might copy you, haha. Jealous of your strawberries, we haven’t got any red ones yet. I also love saturday breakfast together, although soccer and the new church have really made our saturdays busy πŸ™ can’t wait till both are done!ReplyCancel

  • Sarah - Very cool! I love this idea and may have to steal it!ReplyCancel

  • tanya - I love everything about this!!ReplyCancel

  • Lindsay - Love it! I feel the same way about our life. It’s simple, yet full of beauty and so many blessings. It’s great to document those kinds of memories, the simple pleasures that make up our lives.
    PS. Love your gardern – how cute and fun is that!ReplyCancel

  • Maggie - What a great idea! I need a way to do something like this… I’m such a perfectionist though that I want to go back and start at the beginning, like when Emma was born! Haha, 4 1/2 years ago… well, no time like the present I guess! Beautiful pics.ReplyCancel

  • What August Looked Like » Langley Lifestyle Family Photographer » Karin Louwerse Photography - […] completing the 52 week Personal Project in 2011, people immediately asked if I would do another personal project. Say what? I barely finished this […]ReplyCancel

Jordan & Ang » Wedding Photography Abbotsford

On May 21st, Jordan & Ang became Mr. & Mrs F. They are some seriously gorgeous people, not to mention fun and relaxed. As a graphic designer, Ang added many personal design touches to their wedding.
