Day in the Life | Allison Waken
Tags:I love week (or day) in the life projects. I love capturing a period of time in our lives for the purpose of memory keeping no matter how boring. I decided to photograph a day in our life that was supposed to be fairly boring but that turned out to be a fun day!
Studio Calico kitsProject Life kits
I focused on those bits of time that we tend to forget - before everyone is up and running around, petting the dog in morning, the boys chatting at lunch and dinner etc. This project, for me, is about those little pieces of my day or life that tend to get passed over during normal memory keeping. For a week in the life the focus of morning, afternoon and evening routines can be spread across the week. Since I'm not a big note taker it's important for me to do these projects shortly after I photograph them so the memories of the day are fresh in my mind.

Love the way this turn out.
Please, please tell me how you got your photos to print in this size (2 photos on a 4x6 ). I print all my photos at Costco, but have never seen the option you printed your photos.

@Iry4everyoung and @felicia J I did it in photoshop - resized the photos and then dragged them to a 4"x6" canvas. Do either of you have photoshop? I can walk you though it if you're not familiar or look for another way to print it that way. I have a tutorial on my blog for doing it in iPhoto as well. http://allisonwaken.squarespace.com/allison-wakens-blog/2013/3/15/printing-options-for-project-life.html

Thank you so much Allison for this information. For so long I have struggled with trying to print photos like this, because I love doing mini albums. I do not have photoshop and have not wanted to invest in it, but I plan on trying this tonight on iPhoto.
