Motion Blur

8/12... We are getting to there! This month's CM Blog circles was motion blur... Hmmmm I usually try to freeze the moment so sharp!

For motion blur I decided to play with my lensbaby! it works perfect for motion, I had a few shots but preferred this of my cousin.

Please head over to Claire Saidon's Blog for more motion blur!

iPhone Photos

This month for the clickinmoms blog circles challenge was to take iPhone photos, I use to take a lot of them but stopped when I started to compare the quality with DSLR. 

I prefer carrying my heavy gear along wherever I go rather than taking iPhone snapshots! 

I think this challenge's timing suited me this month with all the extra load and move packing and unpacking, it was really difficult to hold my camera which is really painful to me not to create a beautiful photo all this period </3

Have a look at my photos then head over to Juanita of Two Point Five Photography for more iPhone photos!

Here my little Osama is having his first happy meal!

and playing around his favorite place in our apartment while I was packing <3

Last is the only sneak peak of our new home!! Awaiting so many adventures and years to live, cherish and photograph <3

Shallow Depth of Field

CM monthly blog circles again! I'm proud of myself getting hold of my photography challenges; getting a long on the blog circles and the P52.

This month was shallow depth of field; something that I love and shoot everyday! I love to shoot wide open <3

In the first photo Ahmed was having sausage.

Here he was having a happy meal; Osama was dying to get that Coke </3

Please head over to Karen's blog and complete the circle for more shallow depth of field inspiration!

Lifestyle Photography with Kids

Last two weeks were the craziest weeks in my entire life!

So much DRAMA!

So much ACTIVITY!

So much ILLNESS :(

I missed blogging so much too, and I missed having so much time to play with my camera </3

I have been waiting for so long to take this workshop that I'm in the middle of right now; Lifestyle Photography with Kids and when I finally take it so many things happen in my life!

I was in Dubai for a week to attend a course in shopping center management, it was really great and comprehensive :D

My Housemaid decided she doesn't want to work and I have to be a superhero at work and home!

My boys were ill when we got back from dubai and I had an eye infection, two days later Ahmed bumped his nose and I got a really high fever.

Some Lifestyle photos of my little boys for my week 2 Homework :)

Beautiful Ugly

Here is part 6/12 of my Clickin Moms blog circle.. This month was a tough one, maybe because I thought it would be the hardest from the beginning of the year....

Beautiful ugly... What could it be?? my first thought of something that I feel its beautiful though its not is the decay in my son's teeth but I couldn't do it! I couldn't put his photo and say beautiful ugly because he is the most adorable thing to me <3

So.. I finally thought it would be my TV table.. When we were shopping for our flat 5 years ago I was looking for something that could hold So.Many. books, I love reading and I was still doing my final year of Engineering at that time. I have a habit to keep all my books, magazine, notebooks... etc. throwing anything breaks my heart!

Living in an apartment made me throw so many books and magazines that I never thought I would. The good thing is that I still have A LOT :)

Head over to the blog of Eastern Massachusetts photographer Lisa Sheehan of Lisa Sheehan Photgraphy to see something really different!

Shooting Through Glass

This Month's CM blog circle's challenge was shooting through glass. For that I thought of recording the memory of this period of our lives, both my boys are eager to drive!

Ahmed keeps asking me about the functions of the gear, petrol and brake whereas Osama dreams of a moment on my lap before starting the car to EXPLORE!!!

Its crazy how boys are born with the love of cars and balls, So. Sweet!

Head over to Heather's blog for some aquarium fun!!

Here is my 2/12 blog circle photography challenge! This month was a bit challenging, food photography. The first was a yummy Ice cream we had at our last day of our vacation, and the second was taken for a breakfast idea blog post :)

Kelli Annison has an amazing collection of PINK <3 photographs of a lovely bridal shower !

Close up Portraiture

This year is one filled with self challenges and commitments to change and learn! one of the challenges I took is this CM monthly blog circles; A whole month to practice a challenge! I really did go too close every time I took my camera out, and I LOVE it! I felt that its too close that you capture the soul of the your subject; in my case my sweethearts <3

I also practiced low light a lot this month! It has been really fun to look for low light and close up opporotunities (did I spell that right? this word keeps challenging me!)

Hope you liked 'em! Now head on to my friend Juanita's blog from Two Point Five Photography and see how she took the challenge!
