I remember, before I ever had kids, I said I wanted to take his/her picture every day for the first year. I figured it would be neat to sort of  ’see’ them change and grow in pictures. But once I had kids, I decided that idea was a bit ambitious and decided to try getting one good shot once a week for the first year. (Translation: I decided not to put myself through the hassle and work it would take to get a picture every.single.day. Turns out, it was a good decision, since I probably would’ve failed at the every day thing!)

I try to do these pictures on the same day each week, and eventually I make a hardcover book showing these pictures. (So far, only Kennedy has a book…opps. But, never fear… I plan to get Bristol’s done soon!) Honestly, it is not always easy to make these little weekly shoots happen. Sometimes I have to make it happen, and I only end up with one or two good shots. Other times, it is easy and I have so many good shots I will have a hard time choosing one for her book. As we come up on her first Birthday (how did a year go by so fast?!) I am so happy to have these pictures, and I’m so happy I stuck with it

A few recent shots that caught my eye.. I thought I’d share them here today…
