sarah reinhart says
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.

erin margolin says
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-Marchβ¦.. maybe we can try to meet up??

Tim actually complimented me on that photo of K, Erin. He loved it too. π
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!!

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!

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!

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
Michelle says
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.

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!
Michelle says
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?

My favorite books have come from Shutterfly and My Publisher. Both usually have some sort of sale going on too. π
Michelle says
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!
