I love photography. I love looking at pictures, taking them, creating them - all of it. I have been so fortunate to turn what I love into a career. As this year went on I was photographing for my clients - but I wasn't creating anything for myself - and if I was I felt guilty because I had a million other things I 'should' be working on.

When I'm shooting for fun - I learn new tricks. I perfect old ones. I get to play around and make mistakes and just create without pressure.

So - this year I'm making a point to do just that. To stop- even if only for the briefest moment - pull out my camera and document what inspires me. I don't really have any guidelines other than that.

Every day for 365 days I will shoot something for myself. I'll blog 1-3 images from every day and share them with you bi-weekly to keep myself accountable. I would love your feedback. Some days I'm finding I'm more inspired then others, some images are better than others, but I make it a point to get my camera out every day regardless.

This batch of images I was drawn to do all black and white. Who knows if that will continue - or for how long. I am giving myself full creative control with this project and am excited to see where it takes me. I have a few things in mind that I would like to learn from this project - but as with most things in life - I will probably take away very different lessons then anticipated when it's all said and done.

So brace yourself for loads of pictures of my kids and likely lots of babbling from me.

This is #Project365
