the 52 project // week 1

i thought and thought about just what it was about the 52 project that was feeling a little uninspiring to me those last few months and i think i figured it out. it was almost like that moment in muppets take manhattan when kermit realizes what's been missing from his show. it needs MORE frogs and bears and chickens and things! this project was starting to feel a bit lack luster to me because i want it to represent MORE! there are so many more people in penny's life, and so many more moments in our day to day, that all have a huge impact on this person she's becoming. so i'm breaking the rule of keeping it to just one photo. each week i'll pick a collection of what i feel best represents our week and share it here. it may be 10 images of penny, it may be 1 of her and 9 of our cat. who knows! so hey 2016... let's see what ya got for us!

 

penny: this week it was all about you turning four. how on earth are you already 4 YEARS OLD!!! we celebrated the day with a little friends lunch at your favorite sushi spot, and kept the good times rolling (see what i did there) with some bowling and doughnuts. it was an absolutely perfect day. as the youngest of your closest friends, you're so excited to be four now. every so often we still catch you quietly whispering to yourself "i'm four years old now!". i happy cry every time.

the 52 project // week 52

penny: here we are, the final week of yet another 52 project. this seems like an appropriate one to sum you up these days. super silly, often preforming, and keeping your dad and i laughing more often then not. in a few short days you'll be four years old, and here in this ridiculous image i can so easily spot the four year old, and have to look pretty hard to spot the little babe you once were. i love you, you tiny maniac. thank you for making this year another amazing one for our family! 

 

and now with three incredible years of portraits of this nugget, i feel like it may be time to switch it up a bit in 2016. i'm not sure exactly what that switch will be, but i've got some ideas floating around this head of mine. let's see just where it takes us...

 

all of this years portraits can be seen HERE. thanks for sharing this crazy ride with us! happy new year!!!

the adorable Mr. Huxley...

Megan + Jaime are part of a group of friends that all happened to move down to atlanta around the same time as we did. It was pretty exciting to find ourselves in a new city surrounded by so many fabulous familiar faces. And when said fabulous faces asked me to come photograph their beautiful squishy new babe I may have squealed a bit. It's no secret... I love the babies! So friends, keep on having them so I can keep on loving on them!
