Team Up Thursday - Dreams of Flying

This week Megan and Melody gave us a fun assignment. We were to emulate the photographer Jan von Holleben, who creates amazing photographs of children who appear to defy gravity.

It was fun trying to come up with an idea that he had not already done, and he had done so many. It was also hard to execute because it takes time and cooperation. Since my boys are still very young and live only in their own moments they were not ideal subjects. I was fortunate that the girls next door are so sweet and cooperative and agreed to be my subjects. The only time we had to do it was in the full blazing sun and they were such good sports. (Thanks Chiara and Kylie!)

I love Jen'sand how she was able to involve some props. I can imagine Harper and Miller had a great time with it as well. I was also fortunate that Jen put the pictures together for us this week. I am traveling for work and feel like a fish out of water not being able to edit any photos. (Thanks Jen!)

  3. Very good ideas! I love it that you used the neighbors kids! It is really cute that her flip flops are flying off! We had so much fun doing this theme this week! You are right, it took a ton of prep...but so worth the results!
    Happy Thursday!
