For roughly ten years I’ve thought about a 365 Daily Photo Project, but I was afraid of the commitment. It’s a huge personal responsibility to remember to document every single day. I mean, it’s not huge like, “Did I remember to feed the children?” but it felt burdensome on occasion. Overall though, it was really easier than I expected like most things that we imagine to be daunting. There were certainly days that I forgot until right before I fell asleep; and if I’m being totally honest, there were two mornings that I awoke frustrated because I didn’t take a photo the previous day so I used one from a recent date to fill the gap. There were times that I didn’t have my camera and I used my phone. It’s funny how not one of those made it into my group of favorites for this blog post. (Our phones are great in a pinch, but they’re no substitute for a good camera.) There are so many images that make me smile and I’m thankful for this project. 
In the end…and I have reached the end…I’m so incredibly grateful to everyone that allowed me to share part of their lives-my family specifically. I love this project, and who knows? Maybe I’ll tackle another year sometime. For now though, I’m busily creating an album of all the images! And here I sit on the first day of the new year, not having taken a photo today and it feels really, really weird.
I love documenting everyday life and I hope to do more At-Home Sessions in 2019. If you’re interested in a lifestyle photo session, let’s connect!
So good, beautiful…should be a book! Yer Sally Mannish to me! Just lovely and strong!
Ooooh, that’s one of the best compliments you could have possible give me, Tracy! Sally Mann is a favorite of mine. Thank you!

Love love all of these and I love that you did them in black and white, such a great vibe. Beautiful images
Thank you so much! I knew there would be so many different environments and lighting scenarios, AND I really love black-and-white. I appreciate your compliments!
I appreciate your compliment! It was such a labor of love and I’m so happy it’s complete. 🙂
Duuuuude. Your way with lighting is not only dramatic but friggen dope yo!!
I laughed out loud reading this! I love it! Thank you!
Absolutely gorgeous. Congrats!
These are incredible-so raw and authentic and I love your black and white conversions .
Thank you so much! I feel at home in black-and-white. The goal was to be unposed, but it didn’t always turn out that way.
Thank you, Liz! I appreciate you taking a look.
These are so great. I love doing 365’s but it can be hard some days to get that camera out when life can be so overwhelmingly busy.
365 projects are so hard, I have always managed to get to the 90 days mark and then dropped off … what a great series of images!
Oh, I agree. This was the first one I’ve ever done and it was a challenge some days. Thank you for taking a look!
True! Some days the last thing you want to do is document the chaos. Thank you for your compliment!
wow, you’re going to cherish these forever, so beautiful! Wish I could get past the first week when I try this LOL
I sure hope so. I love them; and not all are artistic or well-composed, but they’re my people and that matters most. Thank you for taking a look!
Love these in black and white!!
What an awesome series of images!
I love a good 365 project and love that you did it all in B&W! Great photos and memories!
Thank you, Monica! I got my start in black-and-white film photography so it just felt right.
Thanks so much! It was fun most days and really challenging others. 🙂
Oh, thank you! I appreciate you taking a look at the blog post.
