life & instagram


I have no idea what took me so long. What was I even thinking? Instagram is an iPhone app that mashes up the concepts of Twitter and Flickr. AND I LOOOOOOVE IT.

I have been having a blast documenting our daily lives over the last week. Crazy as always, with the coming and going of the kids and wrapping up my last clients, but add to that each of these sweet little moments and you have a glimpse at the happiness in our day to day.

1. Cozy sunday breakfast
2. Mckenna takes an afternoon nap
3. Fred, looking rather dapper in his holiday bow tie. (a tree in our front yard)
4. Anna does 80’s day and I realize my equivalent was 50’s day. TRIP.
5. Christmas tree bokeh. Never gets old.
6. Nathan learns to bake scones in his Home Ec class, then comes home and makes us dessert.
7. My carpool buddy.
8. Patient husband at Target.
9. Jeff talks the tree lot guys down from 109.99 to 79.99, and I get a smooch.
10. Drew calls himself a preppy superhero.
11. New dishtowel Emily gave me because it reminded her of me.
12. Our family’s twist on a popular Holiday tune.

If you follow me on Twitter you have probably seen all of these, if not and you want to join me, you can find me at Instagram under tarawhitney.

I also created a separate blog to hold all of these photos: I don’t want to forget a thing.

PS : Oh! Is there anything I should know? Any fun additions or other apps that work along with Instagram?

  1. Glad you finally joined the rest of the world. ;) It’s kinda scary how addicting Instagram gets. That shot of Nate is just magical with the pretty soft light. :) And the Christmas tree!! There’s a free screensaver called Screenstagram that will show a moving mosaic of you and your contacts photos. It’s awesome.

  2. That is the couch we are buying at Target for Jackson’s mancave. Since we have thrown in the towel on ever realistically finishing off our basement we have decided to make his room more cavelike complete with violent video games and couches and such.

  3. For some reason, I thought you were anti-Instagram. Do you know how happy this makes me? I will follow you until the ends of time.

    Oh, yeah. I have a digital template for saving your Instagram memories. I could let you have it for a discount. Don’t worry. I can show you how to use it.

  4. there’s a free app called Labelbox that you can use to apply labels with text (like masking tape or those old Dymo labels!) to your image before you upload it to Instagram. You can also adjust your image in Camera+ before you upload it to Instagram. I use both of those sometimes before I Instagram it! Have fun!

  5. LOVE this idea!! I have a Droid and I don’t think I have these apps, but something similar. I’m trying hard to take every day type of pics and have to remind myself they don’t need to be perfect.

  6. Keepsy! Make calendars, books, etc. from your instagram feed. Oh and PostalPix app lets you order prints of any photos straight from your phone without having to download them to a computer!
