Memories, Dreams and Reflections

1.Me! ~ What are you most proud of accomplishing in 2010? I think this picture says it all!

2.I Love You ~ My husband and Addison on her 2nd day of life.


3.Still Laughing... ~ We were in Savannah GA on our first trip away after the baby was born and to get down to the waterfront area you had to go down some crazy steep stairs. As we were going down them I said to my husband I wonder how many people have fallen and hurt themselves on these things (especially because you can walk around a drink in Sav.)? I mentioned that they should have a sign or something and lo and behold when we got to the bottom there was this! We laughed so hard and he said we had to take a picture.



4.Winter Wonderland ~ This is the first (and only) snow we have seen where I live for 10 years and probably won't see any for 10 more; 2/12/10.

5.Birthday - share a birthday picture (your own or someone you love). Well I don't have any pictures from a birthday celebration since my birthday was days after the little one was born and there was no party and we didn't have a party for the hubs for his birthday and the little one hasn't had one yet.

6.Friends ~ Addison and her friend Z exchanging Christmas gifts (and a quick kiss!)


7.I Was Inspired... ~ This was one of the first (I'm going to try and take an artistic picture) pictures that I took. I am inspired by things I see all around me (or at least I try to be).


8.Spring Fever ~ We don't really get a spring around here, it goes from sorta cold to HOT. Spring around here is green grass and blue skies and any temp lower than 90!


9.Travel or Vacation ~ This is from a trip we took to a dog show in Alabama. I don't remember the name of the falls but we just stopped when we saw the sign and decided to take a look.


10.Summer Days ~ Here in the Lowcountry


11.A Day In My Life ~ my day is spent pretty much 100% with this little one!



12.All Smiles ~ This picture makes me smile 1. because I usually hate pictures of myself and I actually like this one and 2. this is at the fair (one of my favorite places) and I was so excited to be able to share it with my little Addison! 


13.Autumn Harvest ~


14.Family ~ A cute little duck family


15.Celebrate! ~ What better thing to celebrate?!



16.Let's Do It Again... ~ Anyone that knows me knows I am somewhat obsessed with the Amish and I got to go on a real live Amish buggy ride with a real live Amish driver (and not the tourist thing). It was SO MUCH FUN and I would love to do it again.


17.I Miss You ~ My sister who moved almost across the country.

18.Beautiful ~ There is nothing I find more beautiful than the beginning of our family.

19.Dress Up ~ Halloween 2010, needless to say she did not like getting dressed up.



20.Macro ~ This was Addison's first night in the world and I had been up about 48 hours and I was STILL not tired so I just started taking pictures. I LOVE this one it is actually hanging in our living room.


21.Holidays ~ We spent the Addison's first Christmas morning at home as our little family of 3, lounging around, opening gifts and watching A Christmas Story. It was the best Christmas ever!
22.My Favorite ~ This is 100% my favorite picture I have ever taken of Addison (at least for right now). I love her face, expression, the dress, the fake UGG boots, everything! (this picture is the background on both my husband and I's phones)



23.Don't Ever Change ~ I don't want our happy family to ever not be as happy as we are right now!



24.Just Because...So There! ~ I just love this picture of an old truck at my mechanics shop.


25.Hopes and Dreams ~ Well this picture has nothing to do with hopes and dreams but I like it a lot.
Anyway my hopes and dreams for 2011 are to continue to learn more about photography, to continue to raise my daughter to be a strong wonderful child, to be able to continue to stay home with her, to grow in my marriage and spend good quality time with my husband now that we are parents and for one superficial one, to lose weight!!!!

Your pictures are amazing! I can't believe you took some of them, no offense! Haha, you are doing great with your photography. I hope you have a great 2011 and that I can be half as good of a friend as you are to me. Love you! And the fam.

What a great collection - there were a few that really stood out...the one of Addison's feet and the truck was great and I also love your family shot. I hope you and your family have a wonderful year. I look forward to seeing your photography grow!
