For the past nearly two years I've just been relishing the opportunity to have time with my two little men who melt my heart and push all my buttons and just generally amaze me with energy levels! When I remember, I do occasionally share some personal photos on my public Instagram, so feel free to check out @kimberleycheyne if you want more regular updates! And next year will probably see me working about the same amount as I have this year - just taking on very occasional shoots that really excite me, and that I can fit in around my boys sleeping (something they occasionally do). I've got a few ideas I'd love to run with next year sometime too, but family will always come first, so it will kinda be on my boys terms! :)
Anyway, at the start of the year I entered the Shoot & Share Contest again. This is a massive, international photography contest - to put it into perspective, this year there were 583,150 images entered over 25 categories. So, it's big. I'm mostly just blogging about this for my own annual record of this contest before the 2020 contest is underway... and as a way to actually quickly and easily choose a few random photos to share with you, out of the thousands I take! Eli and Jake have grown up sooo much since all of these photos (mostly from 2018).
This year was the first year that I decided to enter all personal images. I loooove capturing day to day things of my boys. It's all building up a big collection of documentary images of their preschool life which I know I'm going to be really grateful for when they are big, smelly, grunty teenagers.
So, here's a mix of photos that were either Finalist images, or ones that placed in the top percentages in their categories...
First up - the That Just Happened Category... because bloopers are always fun...
