Photo-a-Day -day 30-

{Photo-a-Day Project: A personal project that I am undertaking for the entire month of January by taking one photo a day of my pretty little girl.}

Only one day left! January has just flown by-I hope the same thing happens with February and March! I can't wait to meet this new baby girl!

A collection of pictures of Lucy wouldn't be complete without one with her best friend, and cousin, Ellie Mae. They are the best of friends and probably will be forever. It's adorable.

This photo is far from technically perfect. But I was shooting a wedding all day and got home just in time to get Lucy dinner and bed. 

After dinner, Daddy got her in her jammies. Then she wanted her coat on, apparently so that she could take her baby on a walk (around the house). I asked her to walk with the stroller down to the bathroom and then back to me. So she went to the bathroom and then sat down and started posing. :) Silly baby.

Lucy's figured out the system. This morning when I said it was nap time she said "No! No! Pictures!", and she ran over and started posing for me. :) Here's what I got-fake smile and all. And Lucy postponed her nap a little longer.

Lucy got her mom's long, thin "pianist" fingers. And just like her mom, she loves to sit at the piano and play and sing. She also commands anyone nearby to "sit down" and listen to her. I think it's adorable. Way to be confident about your skills, my little friend.

We had a busy day today! Both my sister-in-law and one of my best friends had babies! They are both darling little boys, and I can't wait to photograph them next week! I'm also doing a wedding shoot and an engagement shoot this week, so be sure to come back and check them all out!

Here's my sweet baby for a few more months. Then she'll be my big girl. Sniff.

On a good note, she was so cute and soft with the babies she saw today. She'll be a good big sister.

{Photo-a-Day Project: A personal project that I am undertaking for the entire month of January by taking one photo a day of my pretty little girl.}

Lucy loves to do puzzles. She'll sit for ages just putting them together and then taking them apart again. I think it's so cute!

{Photo-a-Day Project: A personal project that I am undertaking for the entire month of January by taking one photo a day of my pretty little girl.}

I realized something awesome today. If I make goofy faces at Lucy (even with the camera in hand), she'll make them back. She never used to do that! It opens up a whole new set of possibilities!

Anyway, for your enjoyment today, an image that is actually in color!

{Photo-a-Day Project: A personal project that I am undertaking for the entire month of January by taking one photo a day of my pretty little girl.}

Lucy's favorite game right now is to go in her room, close the door, knock on it until someone comes and then run away from them screaming. She thinks it's so funny. We think it's getting a little old. :)

Photo-a-Day -day 22-

{Photo-a-Day Project: A personal project that I am undertaking for the entire month of January by taking one photo a day of my pretty little girl.}

Darn it! Yesterday was one of those days, I just didn't have time to get a picture posted! Here it is though! I've been a little bit obsessed with black and whites lately, if you can't tell. 

Photo-a-Day -day 21-

{Photo-a-Day Project: A personal project that I am undertaking for the entire month of January by taking one photo a day of my pretty little girl.}

Lucy is a very clean girl. She doesn't like to be dirty. Ever. She has had the spoon mastered for ages, but I realized today how funny she uses it. Totally sideways-and look at her tongue! I don't know how she doesn't spill all of her food! Funny girl!

Photo-a-Day -day 20-

{Photo-a-Day Project: A personal project that I am undertaking for the entire month of January by taking one photo a day of my pretty little girl.}

I had this picture sitting on my desktop waiting to be posted since lunch time yesterday, and then I got busy with homework and left for school without posting it! 

Anyway, here's day 20. I love this little lady!

Photo-A-Day -day 19-

{Photo-a-Day Project: A personal project that I am undertaking for the entire month of January by taking one photo a day of my pretty little girl.}

For Christmas, Lucy got the book "There's a Wocket in my Pocket". She also got this little stuffed guy with it. She named him "Pocket", and he goes everywhere with her. She sleeps with him, takes him on walks in her doll stroller, and loves to read his book to him. It makes me laugh what she gets attached to.

{Photo-a-Day Project: A personal project that I am undertaking for the entire month of January by taking one photo a day of my pretty little girl.}

Trying out my new studio set up I got for my birthday! I'm super excited about it! What do you think?

-M+S- Married!

I've got a bunch of stuff I need to post, but haven't yet. I've been too distracted with the Photo-A-Day challenge to post other things, but my sister reminded me that people will think I don't take pictures of anything except Lucy. So, here are a few from M and S's wedding! It was a gorgeous evening!

I adore those eyes.

{Photo-a-Day Project: A personal project that I am undertaking for the entire month of January by taking one photo a day of my pretty little girl.}

I'm half way through! I can't believe it!

Lucy was in a darling dress and had her hair all curled. But this is what we ended up with. I guess she wasn't in the mood for pretty pictures today. 

I'm okay with that.

Photo-A-Day -day 15-

{Photo-a-Day Project: A personal project that I am undertaking for the entire month of January by taking one photo a day of my daughter.}

Today I had a photo shoot up in Salt Lake, so we took some pictures of Lucy at Temple Square. She loves the fountains. She runs over to them yelling that she wants to "swim" when she sees one. Don't worry, dad was closer to her in this picture than you might think. :)

{Photo-a-Day Project: A personal project that I am undertaking for the entire month of January by taking one photo a day of my daughter.}

Lucy hates this hat. I'm so sad that I spent money on it. She wont even keep it on her head, and it looks so cute on her too. Oh well!

Happy Friday! 

Photo-A-Day -day 13-

{Photo-a-Day Project: A personal project that I am undertaking for the entire month of January by taking one photo a day of my daughter.}

We got to play outside today! It was the first time in about 3 weeks that the weather has been warmer than 20*. Brr!!
Anyway, isn't she a cute little thing?

Photo-A-Day -day 12-

{Photo-a-Day Project: A personal project that I am undertaking for the entire month of January by taking one photo a day of my daughter.}

Babies are taking over our house. And our new baby sister isn't even here yet. I hope that's a good sign.

Photo-A-Day -day 11-

{Photo-a-Day Project: A personal project that I am undertaking for the entire month of January by taking one photo a day of my daughter.}

Today I may or may not (but most definitely did) have to bribe Lucy with treats to get her to let me take her picture. She was being so funny! I'm tempted to do a series of out takes, but I'm only doing ONE photo a day, and that would be about 20 pictures! Silly girl.

Photo-A-Day -day 10-

{Photo-a-Day Project: A personal project that I am undertaking for the entire month of January by taking one photo a day of my daughter.}

Here is Lucy playing with my iphone. I'm pretty sure she can work it better than I can. Welcome to the technology generation!

Photo-A-Day -day 9-

{Photo-a-Day Project: A personal project that I am undertaking for the entire month of January by taking one photo a day of my daughter.}

I took pictures of Lucy four different times today. I'm still not loving what I got. I ran out of creativity today, I guess. Darn it. 

Here was the one I liked the best. Look at that face. It's just saying "Are you kidding me mom? It's freezing." Love her.

Photo-A-Day -day 8-

{Photo-a-Day Project: A personal project that I am undertaking for the entire month of January by taking one photo a day of my daughter.}

Last night, Lucy took it upon herself to remind us what it's like to have a newborn. We were up half the night. It was horrible. And now she wont nap either.

This has been our day.

Photo-A-Day -day 7-

{Photo-a-Day Project: A personal project that I am undertaking for the entire month of January by taking one photo a day of my daughter.}

This morning Lucy was being amazingly un-helpful. So, I waited until after her morning rest to try again. Here she is post nap-nice and cheerful! 

On a side note, can you tell she loves babies and blankies? The more the merrier, in her opinion!

Photo-A-Day -day 6-

{Photo-a-Day Project: A personal project that I am undertaking for the entire month of January by taking one photo a day of my daughter.}

Lucy found my dad's razor when we were there this morning, so he was helping her "shave". I remember doing the exact same thing with him when I was little. Lucy sure loves to spend time with her "bampa".

Photo-A-Day -day 5-

{Photo-a-Day Project: A personal project that I am undertaking for the entire month of January by taking one photo a day of my daughter.}

I'm having so much fun with this challenge! It's fun to try to capture Lucy's personality each day. It seems like time goes by so quickly once you have a baby, and I am sure I've forgotten so many of the cute little things she used to do. This gives me a good excuse to really document her life for a month!

Anyway, today's picture is from "tub-tub" time!

Can you tell she loves the bath tub?

*Side note: I showed my hubby this picture and he thought it looked like Lucy was crying! She's actually showing me how she can splash and then laughing over it. Don't worry!*

Photo-A-Day -day 4-

{Photo-a-Day Project: A personal project that I am undertaking for the entire month of January by taking one photo a day of my daughter.}

Great news! Today when I asked Lucy if she wanted me to take pictures of her, she got super excited and ran and stood by my camera bag. Maybe it's working...

Anyway, here is my pretty little lady-messy hair, Dora jammies and all.

I love this girl.

{Photo-a-Day Project: A personal project that I am undertaking for the entire month of January by taking one photo a day of my daughter.}

Happy Monday morning!
At least we've made it out of bed.

Photo-A-Day -day 2-

{Photo-a-Day Project: A personal project that I am undertaking for the entire month of January by taking one photo a day of my daughter.}

Hopefully this challenge makes it easier to get pictures of Lucy. She is such a little stinker. I did manage to get this shot when she was trying to trick daddy into giving her more fruit snacks.

Photo-A-Day -day 1-

{Photo-a-Day Project: A personal project that I am undertaking for the entire month of January by taking one photo a day of my daughter.}

One of my most favorite photographers is doing something called Photo-A-Day for the month of January. She posts a picture of her little boy each day of the month. I love the idea so I'm going to join in the fun! 

(I'll post two today, since I didn't start yesterday)

Here is Miss Lucy-the wild child.
