But I missed color! So it&#8217;s back to the full spectrum for this month and at least the next 2. This process is teaching me so much. It&#8217;s really much harder than one would imagine &#8211; a true 365, with no cheating, no free passes, no days off, and my reputation as a photographer on the line with every photo I post and claim as my own. It&#8217;s intimidating, it&#8217;s tiring, it&#8217;s very involved and it&#8217;s soooo worth it! I&#8217;m really glad that I&#8217;ve managed to stick with it for 4 months already. I&#8217;m learning to see the opportunities in the everyday moments, even more than I already did, to be ready for new moments and find unique backgrounds and angles in the places I am every day. And I&#8217;m learning to make do when things aren&#8217;t perfect or inspiring. It&#8217;s making me dig. It&#8217;s making me grow. And it&#8217;s testing my commitment, because I don&#8217;t always feel like getting my camera out or bringing it along with me everywhere we go. But every month, I look back and smile and am so grateful that I did it, that I have this little slice of my baby girl&#8217;s life, her story. It&#8217;s a labor of love that I will cherish forever.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-5536 aligncenter\" title=\"April-WEB\" src=\"http:\/\/www.delalanephotography.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/05\/April-WEB.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"900\" height=\"8393\" \/><\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>&#8230;monkey&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;jail&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;Tia&#8217;s hammock&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;ants on logs&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;AM readings&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;testing amenities&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;a lesson in fries and ice cream&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;Happy Easter!&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;orangey smiles&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;first salon appointment, final result&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;princess power&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;pasta prints&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;April showers&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;gonna getchu, Momma!&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;center of attention&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;not sleeping&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;first time meeting Seth&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;jungle cruise&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;first character hug&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;hauled&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;lizard!&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;hat model&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;sick buddy&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;still sick&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;giant in the house&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;kisses for belly&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;backyard slide&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;watching the Arizona Sunset&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;piggy shadows&#8230;<\/li>\n<li>&#8230;shoes, glorious shoes&#8230;<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">To catch up on the rest of this year&#8217;s 365 photos, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.delalanephotography.com\/blog\/category\/my-photos-and-posts\/365\/\">click Here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Forthe first three months of 2012, I took a photo of my daughter every day and converted them to black and white.
