eloise: we took our camera’s out into the world and snapped away. Of course, your Mama tends to be your favorite subject, just like you are your Mama’s.

Another year down! This will be my third year of documenting Ellie’s growth and development week by week through a portrait. I’m excited to embark on this portrait project. Having these books in our home to look back on is so much fun for both Jeff and I as well as Ellie. I decided to go with Shutterfly once again this year. I stuck with the same style of book. A 10x 10 white paged book. The photos and the words beneath, the centerpiece of each page.
Now for 2015’s first portrait
eloise: Two years and 5 months old. A New Year… and you are ready for anything that comes your way!

eloise: The last portrait of the year. I found it much harder this year to capture your beautiful face. You have grown from an infant to a baby to a toddler to a little girl, running around, chatting, yelling, singing, jumping, joyful, angry, sad, curious, loving and wild. It was harder to carry my camera around and it was harder to interrupt our play for a snapshot. Pictures this year turned out ever so slightly blurry. I even forgot until the last moment for several weeks to capture a portrait. You are just always moving now and we’re always busy. I’m hoping next year to capture your portraits a little better, but we shall see how the year turns out…
(You are ending your year in Boston with your Nana and Papa. We fly back to California on New Years’ Eve, ringing in the New Year with Gramma and Grandpa- from East coast to West we ring in the New Year!).
-joining Jodi for one last time this year for the 52 Project! Hoping many more of you will join us next year!!

eloise: the wonder in your eyes is magic. I love sharing this time of year with you. My merry. My joy.
-joining the 52 project! EEeeekk! one more portrait! I can’t believe another year is almost over.
eloise: it doesn’t rain much in California, so when it did, we spent the majority of our time outside, in it. You were happy as a clam with your new rain boots and rain coat, stomping around in puddles and not caring one bit that your hair was getting wet or your hands were ice-cold. I had to drag you inside kicking and screaming. You’ve spent the past few days singing “rain, rain go away”, but I kind of think you’d like it to keep on raining.
-joining Jodi for 2 more weeks (eek! only two more weeks left!) for the 52 project!

eloise: this shot is a bit blurry, but it captured those wet curls right out of the tub and you were very busy walking along a box like it was your balance beam, standing tall like a queen. This photo, caught a bit of the magic of the season and a bit of the magic, that is you, my Eloise.

eloise: our wild child… climbing and jumping and dancing and moving…. always, it seems.

eloise: “No Mama, no! I running away from you!”
(pretty much sums up the past couple weeks… oh two, you are tough so far).
