2017 | Project 52: January

This was originally going to be one big post at the end of the year. However at week 10 I've realized that it is wayyyy too much for one blog post. I'll have a 52 re-cap at the end but without all the explanations and extra photos.

Getting every last bit of that chocolate ice cream.

I've been a part of a 365 group on Facebook for quite a while now, just a silent observer in the background wishing that I could capture those perfect moments like that of my littles, of my life. However, at the beginning of the year there was so much honesty in this group. So many women who came forward about their self doubt, about how they weren't motivated to take photos in their home because they didn't like their decor or their house was always a mess. ...This was so me!  
Others in the group shared their doubts as well (along with their gorgeous photos) and some even shared some real life pull-backs of their perfect looking moments. So with this in mind, I jumped on board with my own project.

[black & white love] ... haha!

The grocery store.

​Since I haven't really been good about pulling my big girl camera out before this project, I've seen a lot of images from my tog friends (the ones in that group I was telling you about) throughout the years and they stuck out to me. 
I can totally do that, maybe I'd make a fool of myself ... but who cares?!?
This was one of those.

OBX.

Our first *ever* weekend getaway as a family of four. It was so incredibly foggy the entire weekend but in a strange way, I loved it. I wanted to get a quick photo of Sophia on the beach and all of the re-directing and patience really paid off. This is one of my favorite shots of Sophia ever and I had it on a canvas hanging on our gallery wall less a month later!

The sink bath.

Yep, another on the list of things to do with my sweet girl. I'm  kinda sad that it never happened when she was younger but at our old house we just didn't have the sink for it. I debated whether she would fit to be honest, but I just went for it and she fit perfectly! I'm so glad we did this and now I have an easy way to entertain her while I clean the kitchen!
