Remember the Monochrome post from a few weeks ago? Well, I had so much fun with my friends on our last blog carousel challenge that I thought I’d try again on this month’s theme: FRAMED.
You know, if you look up the word ‘framed’ has quite the menagerie of meanings. What is the first thing that pops into your head when you hear the word? A picture frame? Construction? (i.e., the framing of a building) A scene from Law & Order? (like, ‘It wasn’t me…I was framed!’) To me, I think of it as composition. Wherever I go, even if my camera is not in my hands, I’m framing what I see. (Does it follow the rule of thirds, is it balanced, is there dynamic movement across the scene….) I may or may not have even gone so far as to position the video monitor in such a way that it would display the most pleasing image of my sleeping baby. Yes, I’m like that. 🙂
So, when I see children picking up a camera and composing with a camera I get all warm and fuzzy inside! It’s amazing to watch as they frame their first image…and experience the thrill of capturing a scene. This little angel was the perfect model for demonstrating just that. The funny thing is…I was the one who was framed! (thankfully there was no film in the camera….)
As I mentioned, there are sooo many different takes on the theme…click on over to New Jersey and New York City Baby, Child and Family Photographer Tara McGlinchey’s site for more framed fun!

So cute – love her little eye peeking out above the camera. Great interpretation, Lisa!
What an adorably framing subject!!
Oh I love her expression of sweet satisfaction. (And I want your vintage camera lol) Your simple clean composition is wonderful framing for this series.
The way she’s looking through the camera is so precious!! Great images!!
Whoa, gorgeous images and stunning girl! Great take on the theme Lisa!
she is gorgeous! beautiful!
These are just beautiful. That wonderful hair! These are just divine.
Adorable! She is simply the cutest thing, and I too get fuzzies watching children interpret their world. Amazing that their raw, pure creativity allows them to be so open and not get caught up in rules…and I usually love what they do better than what I do!! LOL!
So sweet, simple and fresh. Love them all!
She is darling! Love your take on framed… it is always fun to watch a child discover something.
she is simply an ADORABLE girl! Beautiful portraits (but I do wish she had film so we could see how she framed you!)
so so beautiful! I love the simplicity and the tones of these.
These images are adorable! Love!
Gorgeous concept!
Wow- these took my breathe away. She is gorgeous!
Oh my house insanely adorable is she – her eye pointing towards the camera is hysterical. Gorgeous!
Gorgeous! You always get the cutest kids to photograph and show them off so well with your fabulous style. I’m also wishing she had film in that camera but as long as she had fun (and you can tell she did!)
These are great. I’m totally doing this with my daughter.
