So the kiddos aren't the only ones learning new skills around here! My babies are growing much too fast, so I'm always working on memorizing all the quiet little moments with them before they've changed again (hence the blog name). Learning photography is one way to help me capture them at each stage.
I'm hoping to average about one "photoshoot" with them each month (in addition to all the daily pictures with both my phone and regular camera). Since I've been having fun brainstorming relatively inexpensive set-ups, I thought I'd share with other mamas who might be interested.
This was December's set-up. I purchsed this Snowman kit to use for the hat, scar and pipe, figuring the boys will be able to build snowmen outside with it after the shoot. I borrowed a white fuzzy blanket and some indoor snowballs (the boys are getting some in their stockings, but I didn't want Xander to know that). I used some face paint sticks for his nose and the "coal" on his chest. Since all of our cloth diapers are patterned, I used one of our reusable swim diapers. You could also go without a diaper and just use the scarf or snowballs to cover up!
All in all, I'm thrilled with how they turned out! I'm also thinking I need to keep an eye out for this type of blanket when they go on sale. It provided such a great matte background!
