26 Photo Treasure Hunt :: Guest Blogger 3 :: Jesse

Day three of this photo challenge, and i am just loving it! i love getting to share creativity together with people from across the board!

Today we are looking at Jesse's photo treasure hunt, and its a gooder! This dude that we randomly met one night when he came to prayer night at our house has fast become someone we can't believe we didnt even know a year ago. He is multi talented with a camera, his photos and video stuff is incredible!!! He has an incredible heart for God and is just open, blunt and honest, my husband and I love that about him!

So enjoy his photo hunt! He definitely gets an A for effort and A for awesomeness!!

1. Self-portrait - Hey look! I'm in the picture!

2. Your favorite shoes - Ok so it isn't technically more than one shoe. So shoot me.

3. Hands - Let us bask in the awkwardness that is this photo.

4. Books - Can anyone find the hidden meaning here?

..

..

jk... there is none...

5. High angle - Yeah that's right. I have a home office with a mac. yup. Not my roommate's at all... allll mine... Look at all that important paperwork...

6. Fresh fruit - Well it's not rotten. Does that count?

7. Animal - Bam. Dog. Bet you didn't see that one coming.

8. Silhouette - That's your backyard I'm staring into. That's right. YOURS.

9. Sun flare - Flare from the sun. The sun is flaring down. Ok shut up. How would you caption this?

10. Reminds you of childhood - Not gonna lie... I ate my fair share of these growing up...

11. Someone you love - You'd love him to. Promise.

12. Action - Slidey slide.

13. mason jar/jelly jar - I know it wasn't actually what was asked for. What can I say. I'm a rebel.

14. Eyes - Staring contest?...I win...Again?...I win again...You're terrible at this.

15. Water - In all it's glory.

16. up close shot - ooooOOOoooo What's in there? Mysterious....

17. Black and white - There were no African Americans on hand to contrast myself with... so you get candles.

18. love - Brothers....

19. Favorite colour - My favorite colour is spicy! Not that Franks is THAT spicy. I mean... I can totally handle more spice than that... seriously... I'm like... super manly

20. Your weakness - Now you see why I had to exaggerate my manlyness in that last caption...

21. Transportation - Rail cars. The most exotic of the exotic cars. This bad boy's sittin on 42s. That's how I roll.

22. Low angle - Hey look at that next picture that totally makes up for the fact that I could not think up a caption!

23. Yourself with 10 things - Not so weak anymore now am I. Brandon literally ate 7 cows 43 seconds before this was taken. That's right. *flexes biceps*

24. Flower - Don't do drugs... TRUST me...

25. Picture depicting emotion - Brings me to tears just looking at it.

26. Your camera by your camera - Don't try to figure it out. I'm not even sure how it happened.

26 Photo Treasure Hunt :: Guest Blogger 2 :: Mandie Hagel

MANDIE HAGEL @ www.holdingtheirhands.blogspot.com

Today would have been the day to highlight my beautiful friend Mandie Hagels Photo treasure hunt, but unfortunately she has had a family emergency that has meant not being able to participate at this time! I will definitely try and get a post from her another time though!!!

So i thought instead of just giving you a blank blog post, here is a treasure hunt of pictures of their family that i have had the privilege of photographing over four years!

1. First family shoot ever with the Hagels. At this point we were getting to know each other as i would babysit her children Aidin and Emma on a thursday night while they were at worship practise! 

2. I have had the privilege to photograph emma on her first ever ballet recital and do her official ballet photos. of course i cried at the recital! this seems like forever ago!

3. Photo shoot with Mandie as a gift for one of Jarrett's birthday gifts, its seems so long ago now!

4. Another year passed and already the kids are looking taller and more grown up! I got to be in this family picture. We call ourselves friend-amily!

5. Sister shoot!! Mandies sister came to live in Estevan with her extremely cute son Brayden for about a year or so, and again another photo shoot to mark part of the Hagel journey

6. The hagel kids loved having their cousin Brayden live in the same city! He was such a cutie! one of his quirks was calling a tim hortons ice cap, "ice crap"! hahaha!

7. One of my fave pics of the Hagel couple that i have ever taken! Last family shoot of them as a family of four... more children to come in following pictures :)

8. Getting to capture Emma's first day of school!

9. Mandie at my bachelorette party... we are greek goddesses you see?

10. And of course she was one of my bridesmaid, and a beautiful one at that, and of course, yes, her girls were my flowergirls!! I love them like i have known them forever!

11. Mandie also with her awesome decorating skills threw my wedding shower!

12. And then came sophie... child number three! Im praying they have more, they make cute, and very well behaved children (for the most part) haha!

13. My husband instantly fell in love with Sophie! he often says "invite the hagels round, i miss sophie!" :)

14. Many parties together!

15. And of course, we have our most recent shoot from last month! Mandie had half her head shaved, and it looks pretty rocking!! love it! only she can pull something like this off!

16. I think we will be friends that will grow old together! This is just a hint of the future, hey mandie?

17. Family of 5!! Love them dearly!

We are praying for the Hagel family as they deal with a illness in the family, and we look forward to having a post from Mandie!! Check out her blog, that centres around raising three girls in this crazy world!

Much love, Dani
