Pieces of me 2012 – Week 1

Sandi Shipley — Tue, 10 Jan 2012 19:42:25 +0000

Hello again! Only 1 week since my last post? Shocking to be sure I wanted to share a project that I did last year and have decided to continue on with during 2012. At the end of 2010 I came across another photographer that had done a Project 365. The idea was to take and post a picture every day of the year. I had to do it! What could be so hard about taking 1 picture a day? Cake, right?! Oh my, did I learn to eat those words. What I learned was that it is hard. I completed my first year by the grace of God indeed. Somewhere around October I was So. Ready. To. Be.DONE. However, I am usually pretty big about finishing what I start. So I kept going. Finished out the year pretty much swearing I would never do it again!

Well that lasted about 2 hours. I realized how much taking a single picture, every day, rain or shine, good or craptastic kind of day, well, it changed me. I made me see the beauty in something. Everyday. It also became a kind of discipline, like working out or running. The thought of not doing it made me a little sad. So I decided to jump back in and do it again this year, with a few changes. I most likely will take the pictures every day but will aim for posting them at least once per week. That way I can keep my sanity in check! At least what is left of it So here are the pictures from Week 1 of Pieces of Me 2012!

If you care to read the reason behind the pictures or see any of the pictures from Project 365 2011 they are all posted on my Facebook page. Come follow along with me!

I love, love, love when good things happen to good people! Meet Joanna and Cameron. Joanna is a sweet, funny, wonderful friend of mine and she is engaged to an equally great guy.

Oh how I loved shooting with this family! Just a little bit of love and laughter going on here This is actually one of Sarah’s teachers and his lovely family. This was a fun way to say thank you to them for all the hours they pour into teaching and all they have done for my kids. So thank you, Adam and Missy! It was such a pleasure to spend this time with you both. I loved getting to know you outside of the classroom. Have a wonderful summer and see you next year!

This is how the kids interpreted “Go cuddle with your Mom and Dad!” Ha! SO cute!

Hmmmm, I think Dad must be a superhero.

Thanks for letting me share in this season with you, Stephanie! Best of luck to you!

I had a great time out at the Phoenician photographing Shelby for her High School Senior portraits! I had not met Shelby before so it was fun to hear about her activities and experiences in High School!

Of course, we had to get a few action shots with her Cheerleader uniform!

Shelby you are beautiful and I hope you enjoy the rest of your Senior year!
