In the Beginning....

... A photographer/Mom-tographer decided she would try to take on a "Project 365" of sorts.  A project that didn't shamefully shake it's head when a day was missed or punish the photographer for not getting that perfect....

And so it begins. 

I started an endeavor like this one last year and got about 15 days in.  I love looking back at those 15 days in January and wish that I would have continued!  It's so amazing to watch the changes in our lives and this is a wonderful way to accomplish that.  However, I got discouraged when I started to miss a few days or didn't have an epiphany on a certain day for a beautiful shot, so I stopped.  I just flat out stopped.  This time, I'm taking a different approach...  I know I'm going to miss some days.  I know I'm going to mess up.  But having what I will have at the end of the year is going to be an incredible journey and a huge growth for me in my photography.  I think that later on in the year, I will work on specific things that I want to improve on - but for now, I just want to capture my family and life as they are.  Things are going to get very tricky in March when a new addition arrives.  Not only will it be a new victim, er, I mean subject ;) but a huge opportunity to watch my baby grow over the next year.  However, with a new family member comes the crazy, hectic and usually overwhelming first year that can consume a life!  I'm hoping this little project will keep me from missing the big milestones and help me remember to catch the little ones :)  Fingers crossed!!

Ok, enough blabbing....  On to the photos!
