A friend of mine pointed out to me that most of the pictures posted on my blog are taken in our kitchen. Do we spend every waking minute in the kitchen? No. But here is why our kitchen is so popular for pictures...
1. Our kitchen has the best lighting in the house. A photo can only be as good as the light it gets, so I often scoot the kids into the kitchen for a little photo shoot. We have a big window plus three other light sources and a mirror reflecting it all. Maybe in the future we will have a house with a room with studio lighting... until then, this kitchen will have to do.
2. Alli and Ruby get into a lot of mischief in our kitchen... so that is where I get the best candid shots of their naughty adventures. They love the step-stool in the kitchen that helps them reach forbidden territories. Ruby loves to hide in the cupboard with the mixer. She loves to hide my keys in the drawer of measuring cups.
3. Let's be honest here, the kitchen is where the food is, so you can find us there quite often. Too often. My little chocoholics know where to find the treats... I do too. Our kitchen is where it's at.
4. One entire wall in our kitchen is a giant mirror. The girls are enamored with their reflections, and lots of funny things happen by the mirror. (And I can play with camera angles and be artistic with the mirror.)
5. The favorite heating vent of the girls is located in the center of the kitchen. Especially during these bitter cold winter months, they love to hang out on top of the heating vent with blankets wrapped around them, the blankets puffing up with warm air. It is like their own little sauna, right in the heart of our home.
