Project 365 — Week 4/5

We have been in full whirlwind mode around our house lately. It all started with a trip to Indiana to visit family, a birthday party and a half marathon. But ever since we've been back, our days have been filled to the brim with appointments for Valor, and many prayers and discussions. With that being said, I am a little behind on the Project 365. So here's what I've been seeing through my lens recently:

Project 365 — Week 1

We take photos as a return ticket to a moment otherwise gone. We take photos to recall - with greater vibrancy - those experiences that have shaped and made us. We take photos to bridge distance and shorten time, to lend legacy to the little things and life to the forgotten. And we take photos to feel like artists on a Tuesday - and storytellers on a Sunday.

Photo 365 Project

My goal for 2015 is to be better at recording life with my camera. Have you seen people who take a picture every day of the year? It's a good goal that will ensure I capture life's beautiful memories. Photographs with a real camera...not just my iPhone.

So here's my start, photos of my handsome baby. Yesterday Valor had his four month well-baby visit, complete with vaccinations. Today Valor wasn't feeling well and running a fever, so we laid on the bed, cuddled and snapped a few photographs. I cannot believe he has over tripled in size since we brought him home from the hospital. 12 pounds, 12 ounces and 24 inches long!
