With this month, my 365 project is concluded.

I made it through all of this year missing only 3 days. Two of those days I took a photo and lost it (the first day I had a memory card go bad and the second day I lost a photo when I accidentally formatted a card before uploading it.) The third day I missed was one of the days we were in the NICU with our son. Not bad. I’m proud of myself for sticking with it all year long, so grateful for all the precious moments of my daughter’s life I’ve captured, and so totally stoked to put them all in a photo book for us to enjoy for years to come.

Looking back through the year in photos is truly wonderful for me as a mother. My little girl has gone from a completely unpredictable baby to a little girl who loves helping me create beautiful images. She has gone from a handful of words to full sentences. She has changed from baby to child. Every single moment I’ve preserved in photos this year is a moment I can’t get back, but also – thanks to this project – also a memory I can now relive whenever I want for the rest of my life. What an intense, fun, sometimes exhausting, worthwhile experience. I’m so glad we did it!

I could not have done it without the help of my darling girl who put up with me snapping countless photos at all hours in all moods in all places. She is truly an angel, a beautiful, vibrant, challenging, sweet, independent, empathetic, intuitive, sassy little angel. My firstborn, my favorite girl. I can’t wait to see how she grows up in this new year!

I do plan on doing another 365 for Josiah, the year he’s 2. Why 2? Because 2 is such a special age – right in between babyhood and childhood. They are unpredictable, unscripted, sometimes unmanageable, and so, so cute. So until 2015, I’m still going to take a ton of photos of my kids, just maybe not every day.

May God bless your own family in 2013! May it be a year full of beautiful memories made and preserved in beautiful photos. 🙂
