Today I'm really excited to unveil our year-long project - {sophie365}.

I might have mentioned it a few times during the year casually, but for the last year, we have been taking a photograph of Sophie everyday. I am so proud that it is finished, no days missed, and I'm so, so happy with it. I turned 30 this past year, and had a few goals for the year. Some of them are still in progress, some I never completed, but this one is finished! Yes. I'm really happy that we did this for her and I hope she loves it as she gets bigger - the first year of life was so amazing because she grew from a helpless-needing us every minute little thing to a tall, walking kid(!) right before our eyes and I'm am so happy to have captured it for her.



Here are a few shots of the book itself and if you would like to sit through all 365 photos, I put a slideshow at the bottom (not that I expect most non-related folks to sit through 365 photos of my child!). As you check them out, you'll see that the point of the project was not to have a 'perfect' photo every day - some of them are taken with the camera phone at 11:58pm while she was asleep :). Some days we only have one photo of her and others, it took us hours to decide which one to use. The point was to just have a photo of each day, to see her grow and see what she was up to at any given moment. I took the equipment out of the equation and that really gave me the result that I wanted - real, everyday life. Our life. I love all of them. Thanks for taking a minute to check them out.
