These last few cloudy, rainy days feel a bit more like Spring, yes?

Little Girl Big City

Dawn Mikulich — Fri, 09 Mar 2012 03:37:10 +0000

Well, hello there! Still following along?

Over the last few months, I’ve been wrangling a new website behind the scenes. Frankly, I don’t know what to do with it anymore. I’m lost. My days of coding websites might well be over. So, instead of updating a space that may never see the light of day I’m coming back here to share a few images from last Fall and this Winter.

Here are a few from a day me and my little went to visit daddy downtown.

Winter isn’t all Drab

Dawn Mikulich — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 03:41:49 +0000

One of my favorite things to do on a dreary Winter day is to head outside looking for unexpected beauty. It’s usually not too hard to find.

iPhoneography in the City

Dawn Mikulich — Fri, 05 Aug 2011 13:35:17 +0000

Taking pictures with my iPhone has become one of my favorite creative outlets when I’m trudging around with the kid in tow. My girl is slowly starting to appreciate the fun of having her picture taken again. I pretend like it’s not the best thing ever, but oh my goodness it really, really is!

“You want your picture taken again?” in my best exasperated voice. “Well ok, but just one (or TEN) more.”

My Flower at North Avenue Beach

Dawn Mikulich — Thu, 21 Jul 2011 12:20:02 +0000

Being a little disenchanted with the zoo this time around, when he casually mentioned walking over to the beach I was all about making that happen ASAP. With no beach towels, no change of clothes and sunscreen yet to be applied we headed over. It was her first trip to a beach this year and I’m pretty confident there is another one in our very near future.

Zoo Moo Go

Dawn Mikulich — Mon, 18 Jul 2011 12:55:09 +0000

With an animal obsessed 3.5 year old (don’t worry we fixed her seatbelt) and multiple zoos nearby, we’ve seen our share of caged up generally dissatisfied animals. But I’m no one to judge the zoos, I’m just saying that’s what I see and when I see unhappy my camera sees unhappy. No thanks to that! On this trip to Lincoln Park Zoo, I made an attempt to capture things a little different. I like these two:

After Dinner

Dawn Mikulich — Fri, 15 Jul 2011 13:09:23 +0000

We don’t spend too many evenings together. I usually go straight to work after we eat. Tonight it was just the two of us, so when I cleaned up dinner I set her up with her paints. The second I finished I picked up my camera to take pictures of her creating.

She asked a lot of questions about the photographs I was taking of her. She wanted to take pictures too. I handed her my iPhone and we headed to the backyard to take pictures together. When we came inside she said, “Mommy? When I get bigger? Can I always do the stuff that you do so we can be together?”

And, she stole my heart one more time.

The Day of Pouring Rain

Dawn Mikulich — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 03:44:46 +0000

Despite the rain, I headed outside for a bit challenging myself to make a few pretty photos with my iPhone. Thanks to the rain and discovering a few nice colors it was a breeze. Then, I came home and tried to do the same thing with my favorite girl and camera. Let me tell you it is oh-so-funny to hide from my camera these days. See what I mean.

Blizzard 2011

Dawn Mikulich — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 22:58:47 +0000

This is one big blizzard that stole my heart. My girl and I hit a series of grocery stores a few days before to pick up the basics and a few blizzard inspired guilty pleasures. After that, I was happily stuck in my home with my favorite people in the world. Once the snow stopped and our driveway was cleared we got to play in the snow and mingle with our neighbors which is something usually reserved for summer. Win.
