My current favorite photo is of my 10 month old daughter in her LLBean snow suit sitting outside in her sled. It's a close up of her head and shoulders. I used the rule of thirds and so she is off center to the right of the photo. It's great since all around her is white snow and her pink floral snowsuit and her sweet little face stands out!

I have been going through my old photos trying to get things organized so I can put them in the Project Life album. I'm using this album this year to get caught up with all of those old but not forgotten photos.
Looking thru them has made me smile and cry. My favorite of all is my son when he was just 2 sitting in his car seat looking at me so cute. I love those fat little cheeks and his heart melting smile.

My favorite photo is one taken nearly 45 years ago that I just came across again. My husband took it w/a SLR when we arrived at home from somewhere. Both of our children are asleep in the back seat, slumped down and leaning on each other--in the days before car seats and seat belts. I suppose they're about 3 and 4 years old. I can't remember being so young and having such young babies. Love it.

I don't like being in pictures, but even I thought it was fun to hop into a photobooth w/ my daughter for the first time! I don't get to scrapbook much anymore (the 365 is this year's replacement) but the photobooth strip will definitely have a page of it's own.

My favorite photo is that of my grandparents sitting together and smiling. They were married for over sixty years before my grandmother passed away. The ultimate sweet couple.

My current favorite photo is one taken by my dil on my grandchildren. They are sitting on the front porch with their arms around each other with huge smiles on their faces. As you know with three young children they aren't always so agreeable with each other.

My current favorite photo is one that I took just a few hours ago. My husband had a crazy busy week at work and didn't see the kids for 6 days. He got home just before bedtime tonight. They spent about 30 minutes on the living room floor together - laughing, tickling, climbing, and playing. It is a great shot that captures the fun and love in our family.

one of mine is a picture I have of my mom holding me right after I was born (41 years ago). This is the only one that I have from that day. I actually have it framed and it is in the nursery.

My favorite photo (today) is one I took with my iPhone on Friday. My aunt was known for the many cookies she baked and gifted each Christmas. She died last Saturday and for the funeral luncheon, volunteers each took one of her recipes and made cookies in her honor. I love the photo partially because the cookies made a wonderful, colorful display on the serving platters and partially because I see the loving work & memories of my other aunts and cousins and friends in the photo.

A picture of my 2nd daughter last June sitting in her stroller. Bucket hat on her head with her sunglasses propped on top of the hat. She is giving a half smile that is so beautiful, but shows her quirky personality too. I just scrapped this yesterday, and had totally forgotten I had it until I was looking for a picture to go with the kit I was working on.

My current fave photo is one of my husband and my son from Christmas morning a couple years ago. My son was only 2 1/2 months old, and we were at my mother's house, sleeping all together on the futon. As we were waking up, little man cuddled up to his daddy and I mangaged to grab the camera for an up-close shot of my two boys. I love it, and it's actually a good picture to boot! :)
