Each December we have special traditions. I ALWAYS attempt to document my sweet boys as they enjoy this magical time of year. It can be extra busy and I may not get a chance to edit and publish any of these moments after the photo is taken, but that is why I love my cell phone photographs. I have this crazy notion that everything must be perfect in my images but cell phone limitations free me up a bit from the ridged standards I have for my work. That is right, I am singing the praises of the cell phone photo!
Need tips on cell photography? Check out some of my other blog posts <-link here with lots of tips. The biggest tip is to take the photo. Just do it. Turning on the grid feature also helps a bit, but the photograph doesn’t exists without you taking it. <3
Traditions
This week is all about Traditions. Lets see those #EsterCobe52 Tradition photographs. It will be interesting getting to see a peek into your special family traditions. And as always make sure you use the hashtag, #EsterCobe52 when posting on social media so I can see and comment on your image! <3 Happy shooting!

My Tradition Photo
My Tradition photographs are of us making bird seed ornaments and decorating the trees on a hike. These were taken with my 5d Mark 4 and 16-35 canon L lens. My cell photos this year were all video <3
