Week 20 -Mystery

BLAHHHH!!!!! Not only am I.. um... FOUR days late on this one, but I'm not quite sold on it either. This past week was SUPER busy and I had all intentions of taking a shot of my mom holding Avery when she was at my house this past weekend (the other theme I could choose from was Mother.) However, I wanted to make sure I wasn't duplicating something I had already shot and... well... it just didn't happen. For multiple reasons: 1. I forgot 2. My husband drove off with my camera and 3. I forgot. SO, I decided to take a stab at mystery.
I knew getting my child to look mysterious was going to be impossible, mostly because she has never done it before and also because she isn't great at doing anything on queue (Dang 9 monthers haha) I then decided I would play with some light by shooting into her nursery while she was sleeping and really try to bring in the light from the lamp post outside of her room. Well, that didn't work. My poor camera couldn't find anything to focus on and let's just say... Auto-focusing into a room of darkness is REALLY tricky haha. I then decided I would take it downstairs and take some shots in her playroom with the same light idea in mind. I was kind of pissed at myself for not thinking of this room first because the lighting in there can actually be somewhat creepy..or..mysterious sometimes when the shades are just right and because there's a lamp right outside and a big bushy tree! I was able to capture the tree through the shades (which was kind of my goal) so I will just call this one a win!!! While I had last week's happy playroom with AJ in it.. here is AJ's mysterious playroom :)
