Anticipation. Anticipa...a....a...a..tion. Seriously, I can't be the only one that had that song in their head this week. Thanks Carly Simon. All week I kept thinking about all the great things I'm anticipating, like wearing my new boots. I love fall fashion. Football. Talking about Football. Wearing my team colors. Being surrounded by people wearing my team colors. Not sweating every time I walk outside. I think I love everything about the Fall. It is Definitely my favorite season, hands down. 

You guys found a lot of great inspiration with anticipation. We saw weddings, the anticipation of weddings, lots of back to school and some fun sports. I really enjoyed seeing all the fun things you are looking forward to.

Our top ten is always in no particular order, when you LOVE the photo, check out the artist. The artist links are directly below the photograph. Here we go...

ONE {I love the reds and greens and how this big smiles are almost as big as those watermelon slices. These are a couple of cuties!}

Project 52 Anticipation by Terry Lynn Ayers

TWO {There is so much anticipation in this shot. Tied up bottom of the ninth anticipation and look at the face slap you caught! The twins were in it to win it this week! GREAT shot!}

Anticipation by Lissa 

THREE {Starting a new book is always a favorite anticipation. Will I get hooked by chapter 2? Will I want it to go on forever? Can I get it digital to read while I stand in line random places? Good books are the best! Great shot for this week!}

Wk 33/52: Starting a new book by Tony McCann 

FOUR {You have a LOT of great colors going on here. The book bag always is a turning point. Going back to school is not REAL until the new book bag is carefully chosen and put on. Great shot of Girly Girl.}

SIX {Mmmmm! I can't count the times I've swatted hands while cookies cooled. The anticipation and temptation of warm cookies is hard to resist!}

Week 33/52 - Anticipation by Lisa Kollberg 

SEVEN {Kelvin setting for a sunrise is a wonderful tip. I love the pier and the gorgeous sky. This is really stellar! Great shot for the week!}

Week 33 ~ "Anticipation" by Irela

EIGHT {Anticipation of life. Choosing a smaller wedding to have a down payment on a new home is so fiscally responsible and down right attractive in my opinion. I'm so glad you were able to capture this sweet moment for them. They are blessed to have you. Congrats to the newly weds!}

The Anticipation of Married Life by Catcher In My Eye 

NINE {Staycation is all I ever wanted. Staycation. Not gonna get away. That is the song I sing every staycation. I love them. I want more of them. And I too wish I could turn my pines into palms. Great shot. Love the sunburst. Hope you get to sit in this chair a LOT!}

Week 33 - Anticipation by Bernadette Miller 

TEN {Football. Football. More Football please. I can't wait. Sport Center on in every room. Everyone we know and love wearing our favorite colors. It's my favorite time of the year too! Great shot. I love all the greens.}

33/52: Falling Into Football by Eric 

Week 34's theme is: FAUX

I enjoy many fake things, but for this week I narrowed it down to faux bling. I love big cheesy jewelry especially in my studio on tiny little girls. I have a special box of this stuff and my regular girls are always eyeing to see where I have it tucked away. Moving it around is half the fun.

Settings: ISO 160, 85mm, f/1.8, 1/125 sec

Here's the set up:

Nothing fancy. One softbox and wooden saddle stool.

What's new with Daphne Ellenburg?

I have been crazy busy with the Fall Rush and spent any free time with my babies. It is the last week of summer here and my kids have been milking it for all its worth. You know staying up later, sleeping in and generally being worthless.

Most evenings this week after dinner, my 3 oldest would abandon the top floor for a round of video games downstairs and Jefferson and I would watch a terrible show about french talking rabbits. He loves it. I do not get it. Rabbits living in paris, wearing clothes, going to school and studying martial arts. What?

I picked up the new glamour and have been spoon feeding it in tiny does before bed. I don't get this new grainy glam style for fashion photography. It's stupid. You're being paid like a rockstar, sharpen that shot up. It's not 1984 anymore.

This book bag purchase put me back in the running for MOM of the year. It's not even close to cold here and kids can't get enough Northface It's crazy.

And this grainy out of focus shot is how I plan to spend many evenings this week. Surrounded by my mini-mes, in my pj's watching Gravity Falls - the greatest cartoon on TV, in my opinion. Watch it.

And by the way, I'm kicking my carbs out and dropped 5 pounds this week. Get off me baby weight. He'll be a year next month, I better get on it.
Wishing you a wonderful week filled with family fun and photography! Make it magical.
