The Beauty of Bokeh

I love…

Little ones who think it’s totally fun to do jobs that adults know are actually completely mind-numbing and boring.

Pudgy little hands that are busy helping mom.

Looks of complete concentration.

And this smirk.  Oh how I love this smirk!

And I really, really love that bokeh kind of helped hide the fact that my kitchen was a complete disaster while I was taking these photos.


What is bokeh?

Wikipedia defines it this way:  “In photography, bokeh is the blur, or the aesthetic quality of the blur, in out-of-focus areas of an image, or the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light.”

My definition as a mom photographer?  “Bokeh is the blurry background in a photo that helps hide my messy house from the blogging public!”


And thank goodness for it!
