This weeks theme is WARMTH.  It’s been a pretty mild winter so far, but we did enjoy our first snowfall last weekend.  And what could be better after playing outside in the snow?  A steaming cup of hot cocoa.  Yum!

Happy New Year!  Welcome to 2012.  I hope that it has been a good one for you so far!

I am SO excited about this new year finally being here!  If I could sum up 2011 in one word it would be: transition.  In June of last year my husband received a job offer we couldn’t say no to.  It required a move 900 miles away from the only home our boys could remember… but it also moved us back to where I consider my home, the city of Baltimore. I grew up in this city … but college, our careers, and marriage moved us all around the east coast for the last decade.  It took months to sell our home in Georgia and then find a new home in Maryland.  We were in a state of limbo for the entire second half of last year and I cannot tell you how good it feels to be able to put our feet down, turn the page and start a new chapter in our lives.

And what good is a new year without a New Year’s Resolution?  This year, I’ve resolved to get back to shooting for me. I’ve let my passion for photography fall by the wayside while my sometimes chaotic life as mama to 2 little boys got in the way.  I can’t help but feel my creativity has suffered.

I’ve joined 2 groups of very talented photographers while I embark of 2 separate photography projects this year.  The first is a Project 52, where I will shoot one photo a week based on a theme set by the group.  The other project is called “10 on 10″ and if you come back on the 10th of the month you will get to learn all about that project!

The theme for Week 1 of my Project 52 is “New.”

So now I’m sure you are wondering… how on earth is a photo of a 60 year old home considered “new”???  Very simple, this is our new home.  We searched high and low for this house all of last fall.  We closed on it on Dec 15th and moved our stuff out of storage and into this house on Dec 16th.  Yup, just 9 days before Christmas! The timing was hectic and we were wall-to-wall boxes for about 2 weeks, but the dust has settled now and it is already feeling like home to us. This house marks the beginning of our new life and new beginnings for our family.

This little guy was born just 2 weeks after my son Carson despite threatening his Mama with preterm labor for weeks!  I think he and my son will be good friends!  I was so honored to be asked to photograph him. Thank you for the opportunity!
