Oh I really live the first and second ones!

Oh geez. This is so hard! I kept thinking I knew my favorite but there are many! I’ll go with 10 and 11 tied for first place.

Thanks Tamara! It’s hard to choose, that’s for sure.
These are beautiful! I can’t pick just one.

Obviously I have to say the Canadian pics are my favourite, but they really are all amazing Elaine (and I don’t know how you picked just 13, your pictures are all amazing) xox

siiiigh. These pictures just make me feel so peaceful!
Lady Jennie recently posted…My Writing Studio
That is exactly what I was going for…
Thank you, Jennie.
hard for me to pick a favorite amongst these! Hmm. The one of your husband and the three little ducklings following behind made me smile. But then again they all did! Excellent.

That means a lot coming from you Sarah, thank you!
Wow! I bet it was really hard to only pick 13. You take such amazing pictures and these are gorgeous!
Looks like 2013 was a happy year.

Beautiful shots, Elaine!! Truly. Each one speaks volumes.

Thank you Tonya, so much. xo
I don’t know why, but I absolutely am captivated by that first picture on the winding, wooden path. All so beautiful, Elaine!
Kiran recently posted…On Loving Boldly
Thank you so very much, sweet Kiran!
Okay, somehow I know that one of K opening presents was going to be in here! That was one of my favorites, too! And the butterfly is gorgeous. Now, don’t hate me, I should know this, but I have to ask— the mossy trees? Is that in NOLA? Were you guys at the zoo or Audubon Park there? It really looks like it.
And you and G w/ chalk?? precious.
you just get better and better!
p.s. I am going to be in NOLA in mid-March….. maybe we can try to meet up??

Tim actually complimented me on that photo of K, Erin. He loved it too.
The one with Tim and the kids trailing behind is actually at Avery Island, in the Jungle Gardens. You know, where the Tabasco plant is?
Thank you.
And yes, I would love to see you when you are here!!
Great pics! They’re all so good but I just LOVE the first one.
Happy New Year!

Gorgeous pics!

So many good ones! I tried to do a year in photos post but since I would up with 138 favorites I figured I’d skip it!
Dude Mom recently posted…Kitchens Were Made for Dancing. #Sponsored
ha ha! You probably take even more than me.
I love these and love the 13 idea. I have a goal to take lots of pictures this year and then I might treat myself to a new camera and/or lens!

Oh you should, Steph! You have an amazing eye and your photos always make me smile.
I can’t believe you were able to pick out *only* 13 from all of the awesome pictures you took this year. Yet you have, and they are stunning. xoxo
Andrea recently posted…Feel The Burn
Thank you friend. Thank you so, so much. xo
All of the pictures you chose are amazing! I have to say, though, that I think my favorite may be the first one. I have a similar one of my girls, and I love it. :)-Ashley
I love those too! Now you’ve got me thinking…what a fun idea this would be for a photobook! I just might have to do that! One of my favorite photos ever is a picture of my husband and one of my sons walking down the beach, captured from behind.
Michelle recently posted…2013 Top Posts: A Few Surprises
That IS a great idea, Michelle! I WISH I could sit down and do a photo book for every year but I just have not found the time. And to think I used to scrapbook everything! ha!
I used to scrapbook everything too! Now I’m lucky if I get a photobook done every few years! Ugh! I love digital scrapbooking though…who do you use to print your books when you do make them?
Michelle recently posted…How to Organize any Space {Guest Post}
My favorite books have come from Shutterfly and My Publisher. Both usually have some sort of sale going on too.
Thanks! I ordered cards from My Publisher but was having a hard time getting their software to download to my computer. The last book I made was with Picaboo and I was happy with the quality. My daughter just made one too. And I have used Photobook Press a while back for a client, but that was a really high end book for a military memoir. Gorgeous book though!

SO MUCH BEAUTY! I absolutely love the one with the blue tones of your son standing in the mountains. Gorgeous.

Thank you! I quite love that one too. I knew it had to be included…
Love these! They are a beautiful record of the year. Makes me realize i should bust out my decent camera every once and a while.
