I am participating in a wonderful project called Life by Lens with a wonderful group of photographers across the country. Our goal is to document the things that are important to us and, on the 20th of every month, we will each post a variety of personal pictures from our lives and link to each other’s blogs. Make sure you check out all of the photographers in our circle!

As I’ve blogged about before, I’m doing a 365 project on my personal facebook page. While I may not post every day (if you’re my facebook friend, you may have noticed that I post them really late at night, often the only time I have to work on my personal pictures!) I make sure to take a picture every day. They’re far from perfect, technically speaking, but I love every picture of my family, which is, of course, the most important thing in my life! As a photographer, I treasure pictures so much. I love how it captures what’s going on in that fraction of a second that the shutter is open. My girls have changed so much just since January, when I started this 365. How much longer will Clara want me to push her in the swing before she decides she can do it herself? When will Annabelle want to sit in a big girl swing? Clara is absolutely enamored by her nightgown and how it spins. Annabelle is mesmerized by bubbles. Things like that won’t last forever. I love the ages they are (ok, most of the time. There are lots of days where I feel like if I hear “whyyyyy?” one more time, I’m going to lose my mind.) and that’s obviously changing so fast.
