Project 52:1

2012 is a new year and I can honestly say I am looking forward to all it has in store. This year I have decided to participate in project 52 - more info at http://styleberryblog.com/project-52-one but basically its a picture a week for a year. This year I am going try to capture each week a lesson I have learned through a picture about being a new mother. This way I can capture my thoughts AND learn how to use my new camera - I am excited about the challenge. We are still waiting for baby girl to make her arrival of course but as its Sunday January 8th, the last day of the first week I have to make a post official mother or not.


So Week 1 -

Motherhood is:

Waiting

She is only 2 days late, but seeing that I have been waiting 10 whole months to meet her it seems like a lifetime. No signs of labor just tons of kicking reminding me that she is still in my belly. Her room is ready, bags packed, carseat in the NEW car now we just have to ...wait.

New Camera

Adam and I bought our first DSLR camera and after much debate we bought a Canon Rebel. Not the big expensive one just the basic T3. I have always loved to take pictures and hope that this camera will make my pictures look better. My goal is to learn how to use the manual mode. Adam took a photography class at young harris way back when- learned how to use a manual camera but it FILM!! Haha, here is my first try and making a pretty picture- of course it was the editing that made it cool. Here is our... Kate
