These are some of my favorites of the year! This was nearly impossible for me to do. Going back through so many of my photos over the year really tells a story about our family. I had such a hard time deciding! But it was fun to go through all them. And it reminds me once again that I need to work on my albums...
ETA: Sorry about the captions... I can't seem to share a pic without narrating the story! Oh and sorry for the various sizings... I pulled images from multiple places to share.
January:
February: (It's a tie... I couldn't choose which one was my favorite. For the Twilight fans out there... this first one was taken at Rialto Beach that overlooks La Push!)
March: (This was the first time I looked at a picture and realized that my daughter was loosing her "toddler" look and becoming a big girl.
)
April: (This wasn't the best picture I took this month, but it is the one that pulls on my heart strings the most. My DH had to leave us for 2 weeks for some training and the day before I caught him in the office dancing with our daughter. The look on his face was so wonderful.)
May: (I had gone home to New Mexico to visit family. I was driving from our small little town in the southwest - alone with my dd, first time ever - to Tucson to fly back and I pulled off to take a picture of the mountains. When I turned around, I saw these desert flowers on the side of the road. One of my favorite pics of the year!)
June: (This has become one of my signature images in the last six months. It was just the right place, right time, right equipment, right idea, right moment kind of shot. I had planned the shot for about 6 months, so I knew exactly what I was trying to do. But the look of the rain drops/stars/bugs was just a lucky moment kind of thing (Oh and I'll let your imagination tell you what all those little things are... I know the answer!
). Sorry it's so big... it's the nature of the panoramic.)
July: (One of my favorite images of the entire year. This session was done 100% at night in the dark. I had this idea and I had the right couple of execute the idea. I was really pleased with the outcome. It's also an image that is featured on some other blogs/websites... so it's been a good image to me.)
August: (Another iconic kind of image for me. That was one of the good images in terms of technical and client stuff... however... the heartstrings are pulled once again by my dd on her 3rd birthday - complete with dirty face and messy hair... but so happy!)
September: (And since our trip to disney was in Sept, I have to post my favorite disney image. And then my best image of the month.)
October: (Another of my little one!)
November: (Big month for me! New little baby girl - 3 weeks early!)
And even though I didn't take this one (DH did), it's still one of my fav's of the year since it's the first picture of me with my girls.
December: (Finally home from the hospital!)
And our xmas card was a classic this year!
This was fun!!!
