It’s the second month of our ClickinMoms Project 12 in 2012! This is a circle project, so don’t miss the next interpretation, linked at the end of this entry!
During February, we challenged ourselves to capture images that fit this them:
The way I view… sweetness and love.
These images came at the end of a long day. My kids were freezing cold, hungry, and tired, so to say they were not feeling the love when it came to taking direction would be an understatement. But more importantly, you can see how much they just love each other (united against mom-learning-to-use-a-reflector, I guess!).

For another take on sweetness and love, take a moment to be inspired by Laura (another Maryland photographer!), as she tells a beautiful story of the example her parents have set for her. (Not to give away too much, but her mom still has the first note her dad ever wrote her — that he dropped on her desk in science class!)
Welcome to March, everyone!

Very cute. I’m loving the sun burst in the first photo. What fun this project is.
They certainly look like they’re plotting against you! What a couple of cuties!
What a fun evening! I love the starburst shots especially!
Great photos!! So beautiful.
Sweet, sweet images. I love the sunburst in these shots…and the tone. I really get that ‘end of a winter’s day’ feeling!
oh danie, look at those pictures! of course i love the sweetness of them. but the sunflare is too awesome.
Great post, Danie. Way to rock that evening sunlight! I love the images you’ve chosen for this post.
