ten on ten : october 2019

it’s been so long since I’ve done ten on ten. for years, I learned the art of seeing life in simple beauties through the ten on ten challenge – started by my dear friend Rebekah Gough. a photo, every hour – over ten hours… once a month, on the 10th.

the practice shaped my photography style. and as I wonder how my photography is emerging or evolving – it was special to come back to the beginning of it all. with ten on ten.

it was a day of chores and kids. however, we found the beautiful. the simple. the special.

the sweet memories in the mundane.

ten on ten. a journal of a day each month. a photo an hour over ten hours. a way to shift perspective of the day and seek beauty, simplicity and what joys are occurring. thank you rebekah gough, almost nearly a decade of this practice you inspired. xoxo

i think i have been doing ten on ten for almost nine years. every month, on the tenth day – take a photograph an hour. it honestly shaped my photography, my mindset, my business and my creative/artistic self. i was not a photographer when i started ten on ten, i just had a little baby gavin and a point and shoot camera. my dearest friend rebekah gough started it all – and i thought of her a lot today. another working, business-owning, stay-at-home mom. somehow juggling it all, with piles of laundry and a never ending to do list.

today’s ten on ten, i was working all day. and i’ll keep working after i put my children to bed. but i did not photograph that. i photographed what made my day sweet. i photographed what made my day beautiful. i photographed what gave my day meaning. this november, i will have done 20 photoshoots in the first 17 days of the month. it’s insane. but somehow, it’s lovely. and fun. and crazy. and enjoyable. and i seem to still be smiling and filled with gratitude after every single special photo session.

but taking pictures of my own, of my days… that’s what makes me tick. that is what makes me feel so much joy and peace. i don’t think i will ever stop photographing life. i love it all too much.
