Is it really already 2012? Where does time go? I’m excited to see what lies ahead….my ten on ten this month is a look back. These images were taken throughout the day on Christmas Eve. I took them all on Fuji 300ob using a polaroid back with my new (to me at least) Mamiya RZ Pro II. This camera is so vintage and so much fun….I love the timeless feel that it gives these images. Be sure to click through the whole circle this month….we’ve added some wonderful new photographers – don’t miss out! To see what’s going on with everyone, go visit my friend Sara.

This month’s post is so special to me. My best friend Monica had her first baby. So on a very cold and rainy day, I raced down to Austin to meet baby Ryder. A few observations…..1) trying to drive a car in the rain while focusing a camera probably isn’t the best idea I’ve every had, so kids, don’t try this at home. 2) it was totally worth it to race down there 3) I obviously can’t count to ten, and 4) getting to witness a baby’s birth, in whatever form or fashion, is amazing. I’m so glad I got to be there.
Check out what the rest of the group has going on by visiting Amy Boring of A Boring Photo.
All images shown here were shot on a Nikon f100 and a Mamiya RZ Pro II with Polaroid back.

mariana ….to look a lot like Christmas!
I took these images over at my sweet friend Paige’s home (yes, I’m a slacker – I still haven’t finished decorating).
Paige Merchant is a fabulous designer that lives in my area. We thought it would be fun to get together to photograph some of her decor….I loved hearing the stories and meaning to so many of the pieces she has. What special traditions do you look forward to at Christmas?

Last month, I joined in on this little personal project with an awesome group of friendtographers. The idea behind it is to take ten images of anything your little heart desires on one single day, then share those images on the 10th of each month.
Sometimes I need a little prodding to get with it and tackle a personal project, so this has been the perfect way to give myself a gentle reminder. Last month, I got out on our land in Aledo, TX, and actually took some of the pictures that I’ve been wanting to have…..images that I can print and frame when we build out there. We truly have a slice of Texas heaven, so having those images means a lot to me.
This month, we took our three girls to the Texas State Fair (you aren’t a real Texan if you don’t go), and so I lugged a few cameras along with me for the day. We went the weekend of my youngest daughter’s birthday….she wore her paper crown that she got at school with pride the entire time we were there. We couldn’t believe it didn’t blow away on a ride.

I had the pleasure of photographing baby Anna a few weeks ago. We met at her dad’s office in downtown Granbury, which also happens to be an historic bungalow, built in 1908. She is a gorgeous baby, and slept soundly the whole time I was there. Congratulations to you all – Miss Anna is precious!
