Memories, Dreams & Reflections from 2011 ...

One of my favorite photography blogs RAMBLINGS & PHOTOS by Ashley Sisk  is having this fabulous linkup to reflect on favorite photos from the past year. I love this idea... and of course I love going through all my photos from this year to see how I have grown as a photographer, mommy & wife! Enjoy and leave me some feedback on your favorite picture. Or feel free to check out Ashely's link-up and share some of your own  incredible pictures...







Me! 


I Love You
My husband & Julianna. I previously posted this a few days ago, but it's still my favorite of them, so it was worth another look!



Winter Wonderland 
October ... in NJ ... we don't normally get snow. We got 16 inches.






Birthday
My baby's first birthday!






Friends 
Jake & Julianna. They are 3 weeks apart...






I Was Inspired... 
This was one of the first photos I loved that I took with my new DSLR back in May.
 I realized how much fun aperture could be! And a 1.8 50mm was in my near future...



Spring Fever 
Cherry Blossoms signify springtime. Period.






Travel or Vacation
Vacation in the Outer Banks, NC (Nags Head)




Summer Days
...at the park



A Day In My Life 
My day winds down when Julianna is in the bath... she loves her bath. This is my incredible life. 
I wouldn't change it for the world. 



All Smiles
This girl's goofy faces always make me smile! 



 Autumn Harvest 



Family or Home
This is my home. We live by the largest lake in NJ. Love it during the warm weather months! 



Celebrate!
This was from m y good friend's baby shower a couple months ago. 



Let's Do It Again...
Can't wait to go to the pool this summer again - Frog Falls! 



I Miss You 
A picture of my grandmother who passed away 3 years ago. 
It was not a picture from the past year, but I still think about her every day, so I figured this still qualified




Beautiful 
I just love my daughter's beautiful eyes!



Dress Up
Julianna all dressed up in her pool outfit ready for a swim



Macro
One of my favorite close-ups



Holidays
One of my favs from our Christmas photo session! 



My favorite memory
Daddy & Julianna at the beach



Don't Ever Change
I love everything about my little girl. I love that we say "Touchdown!" - and she raises her hands in the air! It makes her so happy and makes us laugh with joy! I never want this part of her to change! She's so much fun & brings out a special part of me that I never knew existed! 



Just because... So there! 
One of my favorite pictures from this year. (Clearly from Christmas time!) 



Hopes and Dreams
I didn't want to put any personal or serious 'hopes & dreams' ... so I decided to show something fun here. 
I am wanting my NY Yankees to win the World Series in 2012! 


Happy 2012!

  1. Fabulous post, Skye. Gorgeous photos.

    I love that one of you in braids. You look like a spring chicken. :)

    That one of Julianna and Jake made me smile. Here's what I think they're saying:

    Jake: I love you. I'm mad for you!

    Julianns: Yeah, but I bet that's what you say to all the girls.

    Smart kid.

    Ha!
