CM Project, How I View

For the past 6 months, I have been a part of this AMAZING group, Clickin Moms. I've learned A LOT from there, and although I'm not able to post that much since I'm super busy with my girls... I check it out frequently & I am always BLOWN away with the amazing talent there. Anyway, I decided to challenge myself, and participate in their 12 for 12 "How I View" Project. I'm a part of an amazing group of 12 women, and each month we will be posting a blog post centered around a new subject. I'd highly recommend following along, and checking out their blogs/photography too, because there is AMAZING talent in this group!

January's theme, was New Beginnings. At first I was really stumped on just what I would choose. Of course I could take pictures of the girls, since I feel everything with them has new "firsts" but I'm sure I will be using them as some of my monthly subjects in the months to come, so I wanted to challenge myself. From Libby's first steps as a WALKER (yay it only took 19 months!) from Presley tripod sitting for the first time, to her first back to front roll, I thought these were all blog worthy, but I still yearned for something MORE. Then while sitting out on the porch with Libby one morning, I saw this PERFECT flower that had bloomed, and was the first one of the year. I loved how there was only 1 flower, and how it bloomed perfectly, even after the cold desert storm we had just had the night before. It brought beautiful in depth meaning to me, a flower so beautiful withstanding the cold storm. Libby & I walked around the house, and there was another first flower on it's bush as well. We also have these tiny little flowers on our bushes in front, and they have just bloomed as well. So this is my view on New Beginnings, a fresh, beautiful new start to another beautiful year.



As I was snapping away, Libby was standing there on the porch blowing me kisses, and of course we all know I can't resist taking pictures of her :) As we were walking around the house, she saw the empty garden hose holder, and started saying UP as she tried to climb onto it, she's hilarious.

Back to the project.. my favorite tiny little flowers, they have SO much detail for being so tiny. So tiny but yet so perfect & beautiful (reminds me of my perfect tiny girls).


I had a lot of fun & can't wait to see what the other members of the group have chosen for their view on New Beginnings! Check out Stacey and her amazing photos!
