For this new year I’m challenging myself to a weekly project to capture 52 Moments in my children’s lives. And I’m challenging you to join me! Our children will never be this age again, and I don’t want us to ever forget these moments. If you miss a week that’s okay! The point is just to capture more moments with your kiddos this year. Be sure to post your photos on instagram and use the hashtags #justmaggie and #52moments

Week 13

Welcome to week 13 of my 52 moments challenge! This week your challenge is CHAOS:

This week is another theme that tells the story of life as a parent. This is what my living room looks like on a busy weekend when the kids are mostly left to their own devices. They are not neat and tidy children. This side of life is not something I share often on social media. But a parent’s life can often be very chaotic, and it’s important to document those moments as well. We are more likely to want to preserve the funny and sweet moments, but the crazy and stressful moments make up so much of reality as a parent that it’s important to remember them along with the good.

Canon 5D Mark II, 28mm 1.8 Lens, ISO 800, f 1.8, 1/80. To learn more about digital photography basics, grab a copy of my ebook, Photographing Your Kids.

Can’t wait to see all of your CHAOS photos! Remember to follow me on instagram, post your photos with the hashtags #justmaggie and #52moments and tag three of your Mama friends!

Until next week!

Maggie
