The lighter side of family life.
Glossy magazine covers don’t capture real beauty.
The makeup, the hair, the poses are so manufactured.
I prefer the real beauty that is right in front of us, every day…
The breathtaking expression of effort:
The graceful blur of speed…
The look of pure, gritty determination…
The blend of physical skill and mental concentration:
Men who celebrate a well-hit softball with a fist bump…
The happiness when you see your family on the sidelines…
Absolutely breathtaking.

Lynn Kellan is a romance novelist devoted to finding the love and the funny in every story. Her novella will be available in 2012, but she is always here to focus on the lighter side of life.
When I'm working on a romance novel, a typical day looks like this...
Awake at 5am
Blog and email correspondence
Get kids ready for school
Take dog for a run
Write
Eat lunch
Fix what I wrote before lunch
Deal with after school activities
Try to make a decent dinner
Write a little bit more

I wholeheartedly agree. Real beauty lay in real life. Fantastic photographs capturing that!

I love these shots. This is best part of photography!

I agree all the way, often I see family and friends in action and I see the real person in the shot. I will always see them like that, real. Thanks for making me think.
Life is beautiful indeed.

You’re great at reminding everyone of the simple things in life. Also, I’m going to start playing kickball in a plaid skirt. Awesome uniform.
