Photography Project

I have fallen in love with my new camera! It is a Canon Rebel XSi and now that I am actually figuring out how to use it I think it is the best thing since sliced bread!

Due to this newfangled interest in my camera I have joined a photography forum. Upon joining this forum I discovered that many of the photographer amateurs have decided to participate in a little project entitled "365". For this project you must take one photo of the same subject each day for 365 days. The idea is to become more accustomed with your camera, its settings, and begin exploring your creativity.

Well...I'll give you one guess who my subject is going to be for this project. ;) Mollie Cakes! The amazing aspect about using her as my subject is the GROWTH we'll all be witnessing through my photos. I hope you'll take the time to visit my little blog every once in a while and enjoy this endeavor as much as I know I will.

Day One



Day Two: Just waking up from a nap in her crib




Day Three:




Day Four: Hanging out with Daddy



Day Five: In the Valentine's dress and hair bow Momma made


Day Six: At the park!


Day Seven: In another dress I made


Day Eight


Day Nine: My pretty Valentine



Day Ten:



Day Eleven:



Day Twelve:



Day Thirteen:



Day Fourteen:



Day Fifteen: Another Valentine photo shoot!



I'M STILL DOING THIS PROJECT- BUT A MODIFIED VERSION OF IT. As a working mom, it is hard to shoot photos everyday. Sometimes Mollie is sick or didn't nap and is in no mood to be my little model. Therefore, I am continuing this project; however, not requiring myself to do one a day for a year. Just shooting as I find the time.

We can break it down by months:

Wow! 7 months old!



Mollie Cakes is 7 months old! I can not believe it has been 7 months since she joined our lives. She has changed absolutely everything about me. I do not feel like the person I used to be, but I do not miss my old life at all. She has given my life the greatest purpose and I am thankful I get to be her mother. I'm feeling a little nostalgic, so here are two pictures. One of her at 1 month old and her recent 7 month old one. She is now 28 inches long and weighs 24 lbs. She loves crawling all over the place. What a grown up girl!
