Now that I’ve finished yet another 365/6 project, I want to revisit my favorite photos of 2012. I don’t plan on doing this project again, I just hope to blog with words more than I have for the past three years. We shall see…
Anyway, not all of these are of my kids, not all were taken with my DSLR, and not all were even taken by me. But for one reason or another, I love these photos.
From the newborn shoot of my sweet birthday buddy, Ann Frances. She made a lot of appearances on my blog this year, along with her sister. I absolutely adore this sweet girl, and I love this picture of her with her daddy.
And this one is another baby-with-daddy photo I love. This baby, August, is the boys’ birthday buddy. I suppose he and Ann Frances are meant to be.
Just a sweet picture of Linus.
The boys were trying on their outfits for my friend’s wedding. I think this is by far my favorite outfit I’ve ever put on them. So adorable. This was also during the short-lived “different haircut” phase.
Here’s one I took with my old point-and-shoot, during swimming lessons this summer. You don’t think I’d bring my DSLR in the pool, do you?
Running away from Mommy while she was trying to take their monthly photo. It doesn’t get easier with time, that’s for sure.
So many pictures I love from our beach trip this summer. What a fantastic trip. The boys still ask when we’re going back.
Obviously I didn’t take this one, but I did set it up. Kiki was the photographer here. Just one of the rare photos of me and the boys.
My brother and niece came to visit for a few days this summer. I was so glad the boys got to spend time with Uncle Evan and Ellie, and am even more grateful they all cooperated for this photo. Yes, I’m including my brother in “they”.
The light here is just perfect. Love it. And it’s at my favorite po-boy restaurant, and it was when Kiki and Mike were visiting. So a lot of nice memories here. Yes, a delicious po-boy counts as a memory.
Another one obviously not taken by me. George took this with his phone, and it’s more about what it represents. He and the boys got to see me cross the finish line of a half-marathon I finished in record time. It was just such a fantastic moment for me. They were more interested in the Spiderman who finished before me, but what can ya do?This was the photo I used one one of our holiday cards, and I will freely confess that it’s a composite. I had to switch out Oliver (on the right) from another shot. They were just SO over having their picture taken by this point. It was really hot, and they were just done. But I love the way it came out, and I love the setting. That’s a mural my cousin Clark (below) painted on the side of a building in downtown Baton Rouge.
Love this photo of my cousin Clark and his son Asa at Thanksgiving. My aunt’s house has so many gorgeous spots for photos, and I had lots of willing subjects. I’m pretty sure my cousin was cursing me at this point for making him continue to swing so I could get a good shot.
We took the boys for a walk on the levee, right at the time of day when the light is so golden and perfect, and I got a rare shot of George and his boys. Love.
There’s so much I love about this. We went to the zoo and the kids were climbing this tree when I pushed Mary Catherine out of the way so I could take this (nice of me, she’s 7 months pregnant.) I love the look on Millie’s face. You can read it so many ways, but only I have to know she really just wanted someone to get her down.
Your picture taking skills are amazing Pam. I love that you don’t wait for the stereotypical “perfect” shot. Makes them even better. And congrats on the half. When’s your next one?
aw, I’ll be sad to not see your daily photos pop up in my feed, you’re such an inspiration with the 365 AND with the monthly photos of the boys (poor Edith had exactly one year of photos and that’s it) … I can see how you’d need a break but I hope you still post photos often 🙂
